Jesus fucking christ, I’m gonna end up with no hair on my head the next time I have to hear a smug right-winger declare that poor people are a bunch of lazy drug addicts, so why should the government want to help them?
It happened this weekend in an otherwise semi-constructive discussion between me and a Texan. He threw that line out and I lost my breath, saw stars, and nearly left. I did announce that this was no longer a conversation I could have.
That shit’s just patently offensive.
