Why the GOP needs to be destroyed, Part 837529
One of the Republicans running for governor of South Carolina wants to talk about something he feels needs to be talked about. He may be correct about the need but his approach revealed all you need to know about his character.
Mr. Bauer is a strong supporter of the Christian brand of crowd control but seems to have lost track of the teaching of Jesus.
Friday, Bauer said giving food to needy people means encouraging dependence. It also gives the recipients a license to have children who will also be dependent on public aid, he said.Ah yes, the poor person as animal, incapable of rising above his or her bestial passions.
"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals," Bauer told a Greenville-area crowd. "You know why? Because they breed.
"You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."
Mr. Bauer is a strong supporter of the Christian brand of crowd control but seems to have lost track of the teaching of Jesus.
"It amazes me how some Republican politicians claim a monopoly on Christianity and then go out and say and do some of the most un-Christian things imaginable," said Charleston attorney Mullins McLeod, who participated in a candidates forum in Columbia along with Bauer Saturday. "... Bauer's comments are despicable and the total opposite of the Christian values Bauer espouses."These criticisms will probably not stop Mr Bauer who views his religion more as a means to keep you in line than as a moral guidance for his life.
