You're making sweeping allegations that are unfounded. You're saying everyone who doesn't agree with your views on society and politics are more concerned with your feelings than eating, providing shelter, and giving more money than necessary to support our society. You have no more power to affect how much "money they take" than anyone else (be involved and VOTE, it's all we have). In fact it is the liberal agenda that wants more money for 'welfare' (not just the specific meaning) programs than conservatives. The govt has no money. It is our money, they just get to decide where to spend it. If you weren't blinded by your ideologies, you'd see, on sites like this, that many don't agree or approve of everything the fuckheads in WDC, or even our Pres, does. Anyone I come across expounding extremist viewpoints, either left or right, they're of no use in a discussion.
I take anything 'reported' by the JNT by their earned reputation of political propaganda. It means much further investigation by as many other sources that I can find (yes, I even look at the Wash comPost). Only then do I start to get a clearer idea of the true facts and can eliminate their spin they, and others, put on those facts. Just the same as many 'right-wing' outlets do.
Now, if you want to express some ideas, feel free. Just save the insults, that's childish.
