37. Yes, the people who wave 'morality' flags but don't respect anyone else's morals.

And we have moral values, we just don't try to beat everyone else in the head with a stick to make them do as we want. Because it's wrong.

The gifts to the MIC are likely the prime reason people voted for Romney. They don't want the wars to end, they want to get those contracts and fleece other Americans of their tax dollars.

Ironically, they don't believe in paying taxes on the money they got from tax payers. That's why they're squealing so much. The gravy train that let them live high off the hog, may not be there for them anymore.
