It’s a band-aid to a system that keeps on trying to be fairy godmother to everything under the sun.

The problem is Americans are consistently in favor of policies that take away the free stuff someone else gets from the government while leaving untouched the free stuff they get from the government.

Probably,but at least it’s Americans resenting other Americans.

Most Americans are sick and tired of handouts to people that SHOULDN’T BE HERE.

Of course there are fools on this site that think they are subsidizing me because I live in CA, and they don’t even pay income taxes.

But they damn sure want to make sure I pay more.

You hit the nail right on the head. Can we put your observation down in the annals of FR classics somehow?

Even conservatism can’t really manage to be conservative.

Which is why I frequently get a jaundiced eye even at FR.

Rebuilding what we knew as conservatism can’t take place in a vacuum. It has to start in a spiritual sphere. Which means that far from being relegated to a “Religious” corner, “the stone that the builders rejected” must become the cornerstone. Everything ELSE needs to become a manifestation of faith in Him who came to rebuild from the foundation of the soul upward.
