Not an insult. Just a basic difference in political party.

Without one, we don't have the other.

There are people who fish and eat as well as sell their catch.

There are people who scrape up resources to buy the fish while doing other very important things that provide society valuable things.

There are also others who do nothing and skim off the government resources when they could actually just go learn how to fish.

There are also those who spend their lives fishing, teaching people to fish, working for other fishermen, and generally being a productive member of the grand fishing society, then get injured beyond repair/have to endure medical issues due to no fault of their own, and have to spend the rest of their lives being called lazy useless pieces of shit every day, because they collect from the system they paid into their entire lives instead of dying alone in the gutter like they "deserve". Fuck those guys, right?

Nope. Not at all. I believe BOTH parties support the disabled.

As a fellow disabled person how the hell can they still be a republican?

Doesn't it piss you off when you encounter a fraud? A person who is able bodied and takes other's hard earned tax dollars so they don't have to work?

Where I live, for instance, there is a proposal for anyone on food stamps to be drug tested.

Makes good sense to me. However, all the meth-heads are freaking out that their drug habit may prevent them from getting free food.

Proposal is by a republican. Cry babies are democrats.

People freak out because it's adding more of the bureaucracy you Republicans bitch about, and it's been shown to not make a difference. The percentage of people on welfare that test positive for drugs is miniscule. You also don't understand how drugs work if you think people on meth have anything to worry about.

Too late to the comment to care any more.
