The Partisan Divide on Issues

Welfare should not be a way of life.  People who abuse the system do exist.  I have encountered people with real needs getting not enough help more than I've encountered abusers.  Thus, we have different opinions of the system.  It is just who you hang with.  I have no problem with attempts to stop the abuse.  Propose real solutions rather than sharing your pre judgements.  I would suggest providing help for a single mistake, but not provide a way of life.

I never married or had children, but my sister had a family, as did my nephew.  My mother had a saying, quoted at her funeral and which I have adopted.  "Glad to see them come, and glad to see them go."  With the current isolation policies, there is more emphasis on the first part.

I came to the same conclusion without Rachel. As a matter of fact, I knew about it before the show that you watched aired. I do watch blue media from time to time and blue media was highly partisan and still is highly partisan. Same o, same o, still applies. Fox is more middle of the road with the exception of Hannity and Ingram to a lesser degree. CNN and MSNBC are an extension of the Democratic Party for the most part.

I thought that you were a bachelor. The story about daughter with the granddaughter that the grandmother intervened surprised me. I thought the story was directly related to you. So, you didn't know them at all and that was just an example that you came up with to use with me. Dude, I could come up with several real life examples if you care to listen. I can prove that they exist.
