OMG that is one of the funniest things I've seen.
Cuz you just KNOW all those food stamp recipients are gonna use their EBT cards to KILL people! And of course, when they release the "list," NO teabillies will be on Food stamps, or will be getting Ag subsidies or SS disability. In their TEabagger Fantasy world, NO teabaggers are "sponging off the gubbmint!"

26. I'm surrounded by them.

Most of my friends are Republicans (I live in the damnedest reddest town in AZ). One complains constantly about the 'takers' and she's on gov't. assistance. Another complains about too many regulations (in general) and makes a living enforcing those same regulations. My boss thinks he's a Libertarian (he doesn't know what it means) but complains about the lack of building code enforcements, lack of environmental protections, etc., etc., etc.
I spend the majority of my life rolling my eyes and banging my head against walls. It's bad for my health, but the husband won't move back to Chicago.  |
