I cant do that either. Its called stealing a cat. They are owned by people who feed them. These cats are come of the fattest you've seen. They kill for sport. Its babies and fledglings and defenseless only. The birds that can fly, do. These stupid things wont even run across the road when the rabbit does. They will kill and drag around the baby rabbits.

I would rather spend time with my cats than 90% of the people I'm obligated to share the planet with.

I'll bet 90% of the people on the planet are glad you do......

So, because someone feeds a cat that destroys natural wildlife its not okay to shoot it? If they wanted to go shoot all the baby birds & poison all the squirrels you like seeing, would you stop them? If the answer is yes, then their cat is nothing more or less than the killing & poisoning you wouldnt allow THEM to do freely.

Right, and where was this wisdom when Bush made the biggest expansion of the food stamps program eligibility ever ?

Obama has just handed out more food stamps than Bush did - that's due to an economy that was in recession. Here is proof - courtesy USDA.

USDA data from January 2001 indicate that during the Administration of President George W. Bush, the number of SNAP recipients rose by 14.7 million people. President Clinton in 1998 and President Bush in 2002 expanded SNAP eligibility as well. During their Administrations, reforms were enacted that permitted for more children, disabled individuals, seniors and some immigrants to receive food stamps.

During President Obama’s Administration, enrollment has increased by 14.2 million people — a lower number than during President Bush’s tenure. This is due to the ongoing economic recession, which caused rates of food insecurity in 2009 to reach the highest levels since 1998. There is some indication that SNAP enrollment levels and rates of food insecurity are beginning to decrease. In October 2011, when the economy started to improve, SNAP enrollment declined by 43,528 individuals and from 2009 to 2010, food insecurity dropped from 21.3 percent to 20.2 percent in households with children.

Therefore, while it is true that current SNAP enrollment is at a historical high with more than 46 million people in the program, it is incorrect to characterize President Obama as the “Food Stamp President.” Instead, the current increased enrollment reflects the high unemployment rates during the current economic recession, the temporary increase in eligibility for families, and the countercyclical design of the program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (The Stimulus Act) did expand eligibility for SNAP by removing a three-month time limit on food stamp participation for unemployed adults without children. However, this change was meant to last only during the years 2009 and 2010. Nonetheless, 46 states have obtained special waivers to sustain the new rule because of high unemployment rates. The stimulus legislation also increased average benefit amounts for all program participants; however, this increase will expire in 2013.


So, The eligibility criteria expansion was Bush.

Welfare and snap recipients are all republican's biggest voting block. Pat McCrory the new republican governor of NC cut unemployment duration to 25% and the maximum benefit amount to 60% os its pre 2013 amount.
He did not touch welfare or food stamps or any other hand out's.
Working people are not republicommunist.
CEO's and big business fund republicommunists.
The welfare recipients make the numbers for republicommunists.
