and that explains why the left hates the conservatives.

Really, have you ever noticed that the real jerks are sometimes the most brutally honest of all of us? Remember, that considering someone a jerk is a subjective evaluation made by others.

We are mean because we believe that there are a number among us that should be working rather than living off the public coffer. Obviously, the left would beg to differ with us.

I don’t like doing your work for you!! If you are disabled, then let’s talk, maybe I can help out. If you are able bodied but continue to make a string of poor decisions, then tough s**t! The country shouldn’t have to finance the delinquancy of people who can do better but refuse to.

1)Wellfare should last only 6 months and be limited to 2years in a lifetime, only as a safety-net between jobs. People previously on wellfare and now making more than 25K single or 40K couple should have to make payments back to wellfare.

2)Medicare/aid should not cover lifestyle related diseases if a person has been previously warned by a doctor to stop smoking, lose weight, take their lipid pills, check into rehab, control their sugars, stop shooting crack etc. Also should not be available to those making more than 30k single or 45k couple. Should not cover exotic or high tech care, but just the preventitive basics.

3) Taxes should either be just sales tax, or if income tax FLAT, rather than graded, with no exemptions or exceptions.

4) Food stamps limited to just sustinance type healthy foods-no chocolate or Cheetoes. Also, if you can afford cable, alcohol, or cigarettes, you shouldn’t get food stamps.

5) I will however fund minor’s educations provided they continue to meet a series of benchmark tests, and avoid legal trouble. Education represents the prime opportunity for excellence and social advancement. …..But no, I won’t pay for your College, you’re 18 and an adult, so take a responsible calculated risk and take the loans to pursue a lucrative field of study and pay it back when you are done-I’m having to.

Let’s start with the way they were to George Bush. Then we can move to their “kind” treatment of anyone else who disagrees with them.

A real switcheroo you pulled here. I was expecting the guy to really attempt to answer the question. Instead, he offered a great counter to it.

I’ve got another old French guy for you. I was just talking up Frederic Bastiat in some other comments. His book, The Law, came out in 1850, following the French Revolution of 1848, a socialist uprising which was triggered by Karl Marx. Somehow, Marx doesn’t get any credit for it, but it was his first attempt at Social Change.

Bastiat wrote of what he saw happening to his beloved country. And his words need to be read again today.
