Against the Grain

Infamous Quotes from elitists throughout history:

Julius Caesar: "Quit feeding the Barbarians. You know why? Because they breed!"

Stalin: "Quit feeding the Ukrainians. You know why? Because they breed!"

Hitler: "Quit feeding the Jews. You know why? Because they breed!"

Andre Bauer: "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You're facilitating the problem. If you give an animal or person ample food supply they will reproduce, especially one who doesn't think much further than that. So what you got to do is curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."

They don't know any better because poor people are animals, eh, Mr. Bauer?

What about the corporate welfare elitist politicians spending money we don't even have in the Statehouse? You want to be strict with poor people during a rough time in the economy but don't even think about cutting back the hundreds of millions of dollars being funneled by politicians to favored businesses and industries. Welfare and a culture of dependency has been engendered among the rich in this state as well. When are we going to cut THEM off?

How about some transparency in the statehouse so that we, the people, can know where all the money is going and who's voting for what? Perhaps that would be a more worthwhile mission than using the dependency culture as an excuse to create a bigger police state to further regulate the poor in exchange for doling out a few crumbs to them.

Mr. Bauer, you have the elitist attitude that has been the cause of more evil in the world than any other: you regard people as laboratory animals to manipulate and experiment upon.

You are as guilty of this attitude as the socialists who created the welfare state. You're not talking about attacking the problem where it really lies: unconstitutional laws violating our unalienable rights imposed upon the states by the Federal government. Instead, you want to take the current system and just tweak it a wee bit. That's a cute, but airhead scheme and does nothing but put your brand upon the corrupt system that's already in place.

We need a thinker and a reformer as governor of South Carolina. You, Andre Bauer, are neither! You are a politically created persona functioning as an office holder with no other ambition than to gain more power. There is nothing authentic about you. You say what you think people want to hear and even then you get reckless and put your elitist foot in your mouth.

But then, what do we expect from someone who won't bother to read the airplane owner's manual when it comes to a matter of life and death? What do we expect from someone who drives his cars at dangerous speeds in an arrogant disregard for the laws that his branch of the government is responsible for upholding?

I told others early last year that,unless someone puts a muzzle on your stray animal's mouth, your candidacy will self-destruct. You're making my dream come true.

Your moment of verbal recklessness has shown us all that we need to quit feeding stray politicians like you, Mr. Bauer. You know why? Because they breed.
