I’m quite aware of the fraud in the food stamp program, and there isn’t much any of us can do about it - just as we can’t do a darned thing about our tax dollars being wasted on anything else the government decides to spend it on

There is nothing we can do about it? We just give in and up?! I can vote and I can be involved on the state level. There are many things I can do to change things-- slow change maybe-- but helpless...uh, no.

and I’ll be danged if I’m going to try and tell others how to live, what they should eat, where they should live or what they should wear

If the government is taking money from one tax paying family to hand out to another non- taxpaying family, there is every right for the taxpayer to have an opinion and have a say so in how that person spends that money. They don't like it--don't get on the dole.

- by doing that I might as well become a lib.

You're wrong. You're WAY off base here.

We talk so much about the utopia the left believes in, but we on the other side - also have our ideas of what utopia is - it isn’t a perfect world with perfect people in it

You're right, it isn't a perfect world. I am not looking for Utopia. If I believed in Utopia I would adopt every dog out there but I can't and it breaks my heart. I can only afford to properly care for and tend 4 dogs at the very most. That is called reality.Sadly, I have two spots open, I'm not quite ready to look yet but if it happens upon me...well.

You are also correct, it isn't a perfect world. It is a downright nasty world. A world of entitled feeling people who think they are slighted if they can't have exactly or more than what you have--even if they don't work a minute for it.

The left did something about same-sex marriage laws. The expansion of same-sex marriage shows that no political change is impossible to make. Since that one would’ve been impossible to change 20 years ago. It also shows that if conservatives don’t try to change things, the left will gladly do the job for you.
