		<description>Always nice to know someone is worse than you, if that&#039;s how you judge yourself.

Guess you&#039;re doing OK until Charles Manson and David Berkowitz die.

		<description>Actually, ironic is not the correct word.

But finding one man with integrity, and a modicum of good will, is becoming impossible.
And I will be busy soon, so perhaps, I could be shoving off.

But don&#039;t break out the bubbly just yet.

		<description>zadura: I&#039;m not on Social Security. I was not begrudging anyone any aid. I don&#039;t even know where you got that idea.

You say:&lt;i&gt;Frank, I agree. This is a reasonable use of U.S. Treasury dollars.&lt;/i&gt;
I say:&lt;b&gt;With all the tornadoes they have in Kansas, there ought to be some mechanisms in place for clean up.
I mean, you can&#039;t count on every tornado being declared a Federal disaster&lt;/b&gt;
You say:&lt;i&gt;What the devil is wrong with you old man?&lt;/i&gt;

As for being &quot;grateful for the checks you send me&quot;, I know from the comments posted here, that you&#039;re all a bunch of unprincipled, mean - spirited, churlish, selfish, brats, that wouldn&#039;t pay a dime&#039;s worth of taxes if you didn&#039;t have to. It&#039;s well known that conservatives make way more voluntary contributions than liberals.

And, squirrel, you&#039;re a lying sack of shit, there were comments before, after, and in between that you are leaving out. You&#039;re just a jerk.

&lt;b&gt;benighted liberal&lt;/b&gt;: You would be surprised to discover that I&#039;m a welfare queen, because I&#039;m not on welfare.

So, have all you tolerant liberals had your fun? Don&#039;t you feel proud? And you wonder why I have nothing but contempt for all of you.

Hypocrites.

Phonies.

Frauds.

		<description>Frank, back when I was a College Republican and drunk on David Stockman, we used to talk quite disparagingly about folks like you - late-in-life baby boomers whose appetite for government largess was going to imperil our ability to rule the world.  I couldn&#039;t wait to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and VA benefits.  (There was no talk of privatization back then.)  Let&#039;s just say that I grew up and grew out of that.

Given what I know about your current state, Frank, I don&#039;t expect you to be grateful for the checks that I send you, but I don&#039;t expect you to be ungrateful either.  You certainly don&#039;t have a very credible platform to begrudge Kansans in their hour of need.  It ain&#039;t your contribution that is paying for it anyway.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;nihilistic_disintegration: I don&#039;t have private health insurance. I&#039;m on Medicaid. That&#039;s how I know there&#039;s no such thing as &quot;free&quot;, or even cheap, medicine.
Posted by: fd10801 &#124; Mar 28, 2007 11:36:07 AM&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;I&#039;m also eligible for health care at the VA Hospital. Would it bother you if I went there?

Oh,yeah... I don&#039;t pay taxes.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I&#039;d rather they were here in the states mowing my lawn...but what are you going to do?
&lt;/i&gt;

What, you don&#039;t have illegal Mexicans to do that for you out there in LA?

&lt;i&gt;And how in the world do you know either what I put into, or get out of, the system.
&lt;/i&gt;

Because you told us, Frank.

		<description>When you QUOTE someone without CITING, that is PLAGIARIZING.

And, in no way did I suggest either that Kansas got what they deserved or that the Federal Government shouldn&#039;t be involved in helping them.

You could admit that you failed at trying to be clever, or you could just drop it, but don&#039;t blame it on me.

		<description>It&#039;s only common sense that the cheapest, quickest, most efficient way to deal with the situation in Greensburg is to rebuild the town.

But that doesn&#039;t resolve Oliver&#039;s bogus conundrum about the use of the National Guard.

What happened in New Orleans was a bureaucratic, as much as it was a natural disaster...

And it wasn&#039;t me that turned me into a &quot;greedy old man&quot;.

That was you.

And how in the world do you know either what I put into, or get out of, the system.

Sorry I disappointed you. Did you think I must have metamorphized into a liberal, because I actually showed some concern for someone?

How did you put it? I showed some &quot;sense of humanity&quot;? I guess that differentiated me from all the conservatives that have ever lived.
