But back to Earle Kolb, we may parse his statement correctly even if he failed to state it well. The public is not trained on how to answer questions from the press. You or I would fuck it up similarly. Maybe.

Earle has been forced to accept funds because he's disabled. If he weren't disabled, there would be nothing you could do to stop him. He looks at the abled who take public funds without shame, and knows that his own shame is a morally strong position. He knows things we don't: that, without this sort of attitude, we are doomed. That that a society of hard workers will succeed, and a society of lazy bums will not. He is old New England stock, making it work in the bitter New Hampshire winters, for generations where there was no grid to even be off of. His grandfathers stoked fires so the dairy cows could survive, grew what they could in a short growing season, and hauled wagons of apples their family picked. He is the heart and soul of our country.

I mean, yeah, fuck that guy, un-evolved old bastard who gets his politics from how things were in the 70s, but let's give him the charity of a generous parsing.
