Hy-lar-eee-us! Because people down on their luck should feel proper shame when buying food. You slay me!

I see you took my statement below as a challenge. Here's - another: display this in person to people

who know you by name--neighbors, acquaintainces at social events, at work. Post it on your Facebook page.

I can and do discuss my views honestly, face to face, without worry about being shunned. I'm not popular with everyone for them, but I don't have to hold them secret until I can let them spill behind the safety mask of anonymity.

What on earth's happening to the poor hatemongers? Reactions are different - than they used to be, aren't they?

The evangelical/family values wave from the 1980s into the new century had allowed them to hide among masses of people who genuinely sought a more moral way of life by moving farther right. For 30 years, the entire adulthood of many, they were able to disguise hateful views by giving them a surface dressing of pretend morality.

I spent 20 of those years "wondering" what happened to bigotry. The mainstream media never reported on it, only family values and reborn Christians. It was so out of style that I almost came to believe all the hatemongers had been reborn. What other explanation could there be?

Well, that didn't happen. But, wonderfully, as we now know, during those years racial bigotry and other forms of hatemongering were genuinely continuing to quietly decline. For some, the move to greater morality was very real. The election of 2004 must have been a major wake-up for those capable of understanding it. Of course, interpretations have also taken other forms, such as evil plots to destroy America and so on.

Whatever. :) Because now, finally, so happily, we have seen a countermovement of mainstream conservatives who reject their unacceptable association with those who hid among them. The synergistic power hatemongers enjoyed and used to such bad effect has evaporated. Even the great GOP now has to find away to disavow them or be destroyed; but the precipitous drop in GOP membership is only one indicator.

Another, no doubt felt much more personally, and perhaps leading to great confusion, is that hatemongers have lost the protection of the conservative crowd in social situations. Their disguise has stepped away, and they are now finding themselves standing exposed and alone.

So, here they are. Their safe times are not only over, but the days when some might have felt encouraged to believe they also were moral, mainstream conservatives are over, because most people just don't want to be associated with malice toward most.

If I were a true bleeding heart, whatever that actually is, they might have my sympathy, poor things. But they don't. It's way past time for them to take a look at their behavior and fix what's wrong.

inspector general reviewed billions of transactions through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. It found that thousands of stores authorized to accept food stamps were using the Social Security numbers of deceased persons.

How Democrats Plan to Cut Food Stamps Without Enraging Their Base By Meredith Shiner For Democrats especially, any talk about cutting billions from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is uncomfortable and certain to create internal strife. But negotiators on the farm bill believe they’ve found a way to make about $8 billion in savings from the program palatable for most Democrats. The key is eliminating a loophole that enables states to help some low-income residents with no ...

When Trump lost almost $1 billion dollars in one year, do you think he worried about his electric bill, how he would feed his kids, or pay the rent? Trump's 1995 state income tax filings in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut show a net loss of $915,729,293 in federal taxable income for the year. Yup, he is going to make America great again. He is certainly the great businessman who makes great decisions. What is it that the Republicans call the poor people who cannot pay ...

Does anyone have a cat with food allergies? My white/tabby mix seems to always be itching but does not have fleas. His white ears are frequently pink and warm and he scratches quite a bit. Last night I noticed him licking his belly and it, too, was quite pink. We have been round and round with this kitty since we inherited him from my MIL. He was always a puker and I have improved that condition with different food and hairball treats, but I'm wondering if the pukin ...

She also seems to be 'full' after eating and isn't crying or whining. The next day, she didn't even touch her breakfast until after lun ...

To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.” These searing words about Depression-era welfare are from Franklin Roosevelt’s 1935 State of the Union Address. FDR feared this self-reliant people might come to depend permanently upon government ...
