So you are criticizing someone who raised 23 foster children because she received gov't money to help defray the expenses?

it's apparent that welfare is good, whereas foster parenting is bad. it's a racket you see...

oh, wait. that woman she talked about must not be a democrat. were she a democrat, she'd be up for woman of the year.

I personally think it's awesome. I'm just jumping on the "awful government-freebie-taking handout queen" meme. What's the matter, that ship full? Queen of the Tea Party gets all her money from the government - job, kids, farm.
