Nadya “Octomom” Suleman may have sworn that she would never ask for government assistance. But even the extra money she made posing nude for Closer magazine wasn’t enough to keep her off welfare.
The mother of fourteen is now receiving $2,000 a month from the State of California. The money is deposited into a special debit card account and can only be used to purchase food. Suleman qualified for the card because she is supporting a family of fifteen on an income of less than $119,000 a year—or just under $8,000 for each member of the household.

Suleman qualified for the card because she is supporting a family of fifteen on an income of less than $119,000 a year—or just under $8,000 for each member of the household.
In 2010, a year after giving birth to octuplets, Suleman said that she refused to become “a self-fulfilling prophesy” and vowed to stay off welfare. When asked why she has reversed her position, Suleman told TMZ that “becoming totally destitute” left her with no other options and that she plans to go off food stamps in a couple months.
Since news of her decision to accept welfare broke, reactions have been mixed. Some are supportive of her decision to put her children before her pride. Others, however, are irate and are evening sending Suleman death threats.
What do you think SodaHeads? Was Octomom’s decision to go on welfare unexpected or inevitable?

Now, please understand this is not an attack on women that are responsible, this woman represent the image of irresponsible women on steroids. And at the end of the day guess who picks up the tab...., The TAX PAYER.....! Should her behavior be a crime...? if I had my way, it would have been a long time ago, this woman and women like her are stealing from the American tax payer by default.
And I would challenge anyone to show me where there is anyone in America that is openly and willingly a volunteer supporter of paying reckless propcreaters. And in my mind, if a person do not volunteer their resources and it is taken anyway, that constitutes stealing. Not to mention child abuse, this female can offer these children nothing other than how to learn to live off of other people..
Bottom line, yeah inevitable, and it is very likely that some if not all of her kids will replicate her behavior, and the free loading goes on....JOMO
Why dont you help me tell the prolifers its better to help women with contraceptives and abortions and take away the license of irresponsible doctors.
By the way.., even though I do not know the females personally, I have heard with my own ears females state, it would be their very first choice if their freestyle sex lifestyle resulted in pregnancy. Also.., these same females stated.., and I am quoting them..., " I don't like the feel of condoms..., Girl., I like the feel of raw meat".
So.., in that instance..., I suppose the term "KEEN" would fit.....! JOMO
I also hope you dont have an abortion any time soon, unless you get raped of course, seeing as how it violated all your principles
Personally, I dont care what others may think, but as for me, give me sexual liberty, contraceptives, condoms and or abortions...whatever it takes to not have my less fortunate sisters from seeking fianancial support for their unwanted rugrats, by hipocritical pro-life conservatives!
Thank you!
Now I'm not sure if you are trying to be sarcastic about me having an abortion. But I would hope no one would have an abortion any time soon, I would hate to think what the world would be like if having abortions was more popular than actually going full term and having the baby. Most of us would not be here debating this matter.
I have seen reenactments of mid-evil punishments where a person was ripped apart limb by limb. And I have also seen in modern time the procedure of how a baby is ripped apart in the womb limb by limb. And frankly.., in both cases.., the process was the same.., I just find it difficult to rap my mind around this being done to another human being all while crying freedom of choice.
It is no wonder that murder in the streets are so rampid.., we live in a society where murder for hire starts in the womb, where we are comfortable with treating life with the same disregard as a piece of used toilet paper.
And just for your information...

And just for your information mara, a person would not have to work at any of the places you mentioned to hear the kind of cruel conversation from females that I have presented. Now while it is true not all women feel the way these females think, but don't be so presumptuous as to imply that a person would have to be on a hog farm or a bar tender to hear this kind of sentiment from a female.
Some of you are way to quick to try and imply that when something is pointed out about a female or a group of females, that it is an attack on all females., that just is not the case. Just like anything else, there are those that do abuse the system to appease their own selfish cause...JOMO
For the record I personally dont give two snits about tearing apart a fetus. Its not a human being until its born and you can give those cute little arms and legs and give them to my poodle as doggie treats, ok?
There is nothing hypocritical about wishing the same thing on someone that they are perfectly willing to do to others. She and those that think like her obviously, only chose to value life in a way that meets their satisfaction. And since no one can create life no one have the right to destroy it. So you are certainly free to think what you will about me.
But like the old saying goes.., what is good for the goose is good for the gander...JOMO
I am in no way call myself "WAVING" God around...and.. you are rtight..., He said, "THOU SHALL NOT KILL"..., But He also said "JUDGE NOT LESS YOU BE JUDGED"...! Simply put you are deserving of the same thing you would inflict on someone else.
I can only imagine your profession is a blacksmith, because you are almost good at twisting and forming conclusions out of nothing...! And you are absolutely right about the ""THOU SHALL NOT KILL" thing...! that includes INNOCENT....! HELPLESS BABIES THAT HAD NO PART IN BEING PUT IN A POSITION TO BE MURDERED...!
So you forge out of that what ever makes you feel comfortable. And yes...! God gave me life..., it is not yours or anyone else to take, so when you draw back you sword to judge me, rest assured, at the end of the day it will be you that will be judged with the motion you set in motion.., (KILLED)
And you have the nerve to question my principles..., I'm just wondering..., are you and illegal in this country or just plain down brain dead...? I would love to see what your principles would be if some one had to stretched out with ropes tied to each of your limbs and pulled in four different direction, and the other end tied to the bumpers of an SUV.
I would like to see what kind of aggression you would complain about then...JOMO
I think this lady is a hypocrite, but if she doesn't have any money to feed the babies then she has to do what she has to do.
The Ant and the Grasshopper...........
Two Different Versions
Two Different Morals
OL D VERSION
The ant works hard in the
withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is
a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm
and well fed.
The grasshopper has
no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard
in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant
is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so?

on Oprah ...

Kermit the Frog appears
on Oprah with the grasshopper
and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'
Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing We Shall Overcome.
Then Rev Jeremiah Wright
has the group kneel down to
pray for the grasshopper's sake,
while he damns the ants.
President Obama condemns
the ant and blames
President Bush 43,
President Bush 41,
President Reagan,
Christopher Columbus,
and the Pope
for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid
exclaim in an interview with
Larry King that the ant has
gotten rich off the back of the
grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &
Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of
the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the
Government Green Czar
and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be careful how you vote in 2012.
I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant
not a grasshopper!
Make sure that you pass this on only to other ants. Grasshoppers won't understand it.
Why dont you help me tell the prolifers its better to help women with contraceptives and abortions and take away the license of irresponsible doctors.
Moral of the story: Conservatives and pro-lifers, you wanted this, you pay for it.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.--Since you hate guns and we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and bio...

--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.
P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
