I have an uncle who used to say crap like that about the disabled too. Then he developed Parkinson's disease and is in a long-term care facility now. I would not wish that on anybody, but it is a fact of life that any of us could be one diagnosis or car accident or bad fall away from becoming disabled too. So I will gladly pay for "other people's problems" because the disabled have the same right to a fulfilling life as everyone else.

... I think we must expect great things from you, Mr. Potter. … After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things — terrible, yes, but great.

Actually they mean the American Health Care Act. You're paying attention, and still got tripped up.

This goes hand in hand with the newspeak-ification that the administration started on day 2 with "Alternative Facts".

Sounds like my (late) brother. Blind since birth and supported on the disability support pension and public health system voted conservative/libertarian. He even did a sociology degree on the public purse knowing he would never pay for it. I loved him but my other brother and I were astounded by the hypocrisy.

My father is a Libertarian. I'm on SSDI, and he helps me a great deal financially, so I have to bite my tongue...a lot. I'd be in a rooming house or something if he didn't ( generously) pay my rent so that I can have a place of my own, and keep my pets. I'm grateful, but it makes me feel very shitty when he rants about the "takers", since I'm one of them.

Life only matters until the fetus reaches 24 weeks gestation and is no longer a candidate for abortion. Otherwise they would be funding good prenatal care *cough Planned Parenthood cough*, WIC, public education, school lunch and breakfast programs, etc.

Fuck them all with rusty, tetanus contaminated votes.

Did you kidnap Lori? We want Lori back! She has a McLaren!

That would work out to nearly $200,000 a year - in the top 1%. Got pitchforks to run out the spammer?
