I understand you now, CCG.

I suggest you man up, and take the first shot. I'm right behind you.

If you're not ready to do that, then I suppose we're still willing to trust in the full faith of the US Government a little longer.

The last time I got a government check was when I worked for the National Park Service in the early '80s. I pay into social security, I've never taken a payment of any kind, and I don't expect I will. My parents never collected either. But that's not really what I'm trying to say.

I’m suggesting that Conservatives vote in a principled manner for smaller government. Some of that shrinkage might have a bad effect on some people. Perhaps even on you. But if you use the ballot box to vote some goodies for yourself (and continuation of social security would be such a “goody”) then you are just a Liberal. Conservatives vote in a principled manner for smaller government. That’s all I’m saying. I talk the talk and I walk the walk. No brag, just fact.
