"A job is a job."

You've got a Masters - well, that's great. I'll bet your mother is proud of you.

You want to raise a family - well, times have changed.

You'd like to own a home - well, you know, not everyone can.

You'd like your kids to go to college - well, they can, there a lot of help for familys in your income bracket.

You'd like to see your family grow up - hey, with seniority you can work days.

You wish your wife could be home when the kids get home from school - well, the nice thing is that she can work nights, and BE there. And that way you'll only need the one car.

Ain't it great.

Meanwhile, as the Great American Dream heads down the toilet because of the debt paying for the tax cut for the very wealthy, the debt paying for an illegal act of unprovoked aggression against a small country half a world away, the debt propping up a failing economy until an election, the debt being used to justify taking care of Americans (don't have the money, went to the military).

I have to say I've never seen a more succinct example of the conservative philosophy than that one post. Only a True Believer could think that's a good thing.

A very wise person told us how to pray for these True Believers - "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do." That's the only excuse for the cruel core of conservatism.

Arf (I'd damned near sign my legal name to this one.)
