I'm politically incorrect and damn well satisfied to be so. Gummer

Aw, is the little proto-nazi butthurt?

As usual shitforbrains you have managed to entirely miss the meaning of a post. I did not say the only purpose of the government was the military, although that is the main purpose of a government in my opinion. I said that if you were not willing to defend the country (you do know what that means don't you?) then you should have no say in how it is run. If you don't care enough about the country to protect it then why should you be in a position to make decisions concerning its function?

In my opinion the purpose of a government is to provide the security that would allow ME to keep my life, and pursue my own happiness. It is not up to the government to provide me with that happiness. And right now, the government does mismanage my taxes and your taxes and everyone else who pays taxes.

Your response is of course witty, but lacks a certain intellectual honesty.

How does that exclude the poor and the handicapped? My daughter is totally deaf, so is her husband. Both work for private companies, own a home, have two children in private school and take no money from the government. How would they be excluded under Gummer's proposal?

Oooh great, refute me with an anecdote.

There are other handicaps than being deaf..

The point is that being handicapped does not mean unable to work and dependent upon the government. If you can't see that, well there is nothing that can be said is there.

My question still remains, how does Gummer's proposal stop the poor and the handicapped from being able to vote?

Admit it.... you are satisfied with with the libs loading up the short bus at the "group home" and taking them to register to vote and showing them how to vote for democrats ..... ditto for ILLEGAL aliens ..... but..... if we had some minimal standards for voter qualification ..... it's unlikely dems would EVER win another election ....

No public assistance?


Nix all the Republicant farmers.

Would farmers who are Democrats then be allowed to receive subsidies and still be able to vote? Or is your contention that all farmers are Republicans?

As a footnote, I agree that ALL subsidies should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Shit for brains? Now that's funny...areyoushittin'me?...shitforbrains...were you makin' fun of my name?

What was that you were saying about getting back to the meaning of the post?


Nor did I say that you did.

Right, and I questioned you to get clarification...it is appearing that you missed the concept I was trying to express...it appears that you carry a certain sort of belief that a sense of importance and privilege above and beyond other forms of service is justified...I'm just betting there are many people who might take exception to that notion.

Agreed.

Thanks, I enjoy being witty, as to intellectual honesty...your turn.
