If you truly had a grasp of the disparities in wealth distribution in this country, how it concentrates 35% of ALL national wealth in the hands of less than 1%, 71% in the top 10% and leaves 1% in the hands of the bottom 40% of wage earners (individuals earning less than $51,253 annually....not welfare deadbeats), how it translates into ever diminishing or, in a best case scenario, stagnant wages, you would not be beating this dead horse. Do yu not understand just how angry and just how tired middle class people in this country really are?

Tell ya what. When I need your sympathy
Until then, save it for yourself.

with all the sympathy expressed

for the repub VP's daughter having a Down syndrome baby, reminded me about that mean joke McCain made about Chelsea Clinton. Touche.

This has NOTHING to do with whether you have sympathy for smokers or not.
There's a much more fundamental principle involved here.

Normally I would have sympathy for these people...(sm)

however, these people are also among those who thought it was okay to take away rights from the LGBT community. I say if you're willing to dish it out, then you might want to be prepared to take it.

Poor little christians. You want to preserve the right to preach and teach and have gatherings to promote your philosophy, but when it comes to someone else's rights it's different.

I've said this I don't know how many times. If christians don't want govt in their business, then they need to get out of the business of govt.

I read their posts with a little bit of humor and a whole lot of sympathy.
Humor because of the ridiculousness of it all, and sympathy because of the ridiculousness of it all!!
