Welfare

Occasionally you have to use a Back Burn to save Lives and Property...

In the past decade we have napalmed the Constitution in order to save the Pledge of Allegiance.

Can you even admit our lack of freedom without predicating the statement with the word "perceived"? If you can't perceive it and admit it, you damn sure can't correct it.

I've been many places where there is no freedom. This ain't it.

We are not free, there's just less tyranny here than other places in the world.

I think that is the point that folks regularly try to convince us is a good thing. Less tyranny =/= freedom.

thats all well and good but not everyone has a family to go to sometimes the familys are barely getting by....sometimes easier said than done....but i do think there needs to be more checking on the people getting aid.... a friend of mines dad is on disability and the reason is because he is a "nut" i guess because he has "tried to kill himself" several time. which is some bull sh.. because i assure you i would have no problem one trigger pull, but this guy was living in low income housing and getting a check for utilitys and getting his disability check. And i know for a fact he did some janitor work on the side for the school there has to be a way this kind of abuse could be stopped. Do we really need to pay for his smokes, beer, casino trips, and other bs. when he can work as long as he dont make over 500 dollars and mess with his disability.
