Brownback said. “They’re just trying to poke fun at it, when it’s not what the debate is really about.”
Sorry Sam, but what this is really about is you and your GOP brethren being a bunch of pious, self-righteous assholes beating up on the poor to score points with your fellow tea party assholes.
I eagerly await the new laws where the government starts determining what’s “appropriate” food for people to purchase. This from the same party that rails against the “nanny state”.

Anyone who had anything to do with this law should have to live on cash assistance for 2 months.
Heartless bastards.

Kansas and most red states are welfare states. They take in more more federal dollars in than they send in. Can the blue states dictate what they can spend their welfare dollars on? Fair is fair, right?

When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.” Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, teacher,” he said. “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[5] and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?” Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.” “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said. Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Luke 7:36-50
Who would Jesus Forgive?

Good question. Do Mormon temple garments count as lingerie?

I haven’t seen any, but my guess would be no.
ETA: Ay caramba! That ain’t lingerie!

The law also states those on assistance may only buy dictionaries where the words “lobster” and “filet mignon” have been redacted.

LOL! Excellent query – which leads me to ask if the new law goes so far as to actually define “lingerie?” I mean, some of the basics in undergarments are pretty racy. Not being a Mormon, I still can understand the desire to protect my boy goods. Curiously, I do recollect using the words “oh, god” a lot with regards to said goods … though that really has nothing to do with belief in any entity, Mormon-approved or other.

Yes, because welfare recipients crashed the budget by splurging on lingerie, cruises, and tattoos on the public dime. It has nothing to do with your drastic tax cuts which prompted cuts to social services and education and a downgrading of debt by ratings agencies.
Seriously, are there legitimate figures on the size or scope of this alleged “problem,” or is this another continuation of the crusade to demonize the poor and the victims of the economic slump with symbolic swipes at “welfare queens” – in this incarnation, clad in lascivious f*ck-me lingerie and adorned with tramp stamps?
Meanwhile, there is no attempt to boost the state’s economy, expand Medicaid for the working poor, or reverse the budget cuts to public schools. Just a sneering, leering, “Pull down your fancy panties and piss into this cup for your welfare, libtard.”

Here’s list of Kansas farmers receiving government welfare in Kansas by zip code number 76520. Wonder what type of restrictions they have on spending hard-earned taxpayers money?

Another word for lingerie: underwear. And hey, isn’t it sexier to go without underwear? Maybe they need to require white cotton granny underwear.

I don’t suppose it is even worth asking if they have a breakdown on how much money is spent on these newly forbidden items versus how much the oversight necessary to enforce these restrictions is going to cost? Because just as with the drug testing of recipients this is less about any actual abuse that is taking place in reality and more about creating the impression to the public that there is abuse taking place thus necessitating these sorts of rules

This is excellent news. Everybody knows that if we could eliminate welfare expenditures on frilly underwear and tattoos, we could pay off the budget deficit and have millions left over.

"Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well."
Wish to shit I knew who said that and wonder if they ever heard of this dude in Kansas.
