14. And what's most pathetic, for me, is thinking back to all those photos of little old ladies

at teabagger rallies, often in wheelchairs, holding up signs saying "Keep Your Hands OFF My Medicare!"

What the hell are they thinking? What planet do they think they're living on? What reality do they think they're living IN?

I wish our tribe would start helping folks like them to connect the dots. It has to be said and repeated ad nauseam:

republi-CONS DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU!!!

They don't believe in it! They don't think government should do that! They say you're on your own. "Personal Responsibility!" And that's really codespeak for - you're on yer own, chump! It's not our job to help you!

And mind you, MANY of these cads on the CON side claim to be Catholic (here's looking at YOU, Paul Ryan) or some other Christian denomination. And yet not one of them ever quotes that part of Scripture that quotes Jesus as saying "whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Me."

Or

New International Version
"He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'" - Matthew 25:45
