Mr. Gerber has all the answers:  Unemployed? Get a job.  Chronic alcoholic? Quit drinking. Drug addicted? "Just say no!"  Mentally ill? Just stop it! Get a grip! Vet with PTSD? Man-up, you wimp. Escaping from a phyically and/or sexually abusive spouse?  Just get over it!  Go out, get a job and forget the past! Physically disabled or developmentally disabled?  Quit whining, get a job and support yourself.  Underemployed and trying to support a family on the minimum wage?  Don't be such a loser, just go out and get a better job.

"Bryant can’t be taken seriously because his motives are misguided. He’s a man of charity, not reality. He’s a friend to politicians who base their decisions on profits, not ethics. "  Charity and reality are NOT mutually exclusive.  Mr. Bryant is, indeed, a man of charity.  You consider that "misguided"?
