just like people who complain about the aclu, and then wonder when the aclu will sue over something that hits them directly.

then there's 'we don't need to regulate banks' who caused the last economic, worldwide collapse in 08. but let's regulate the living sh!t out of abortion clinics...but no other medical clinics.
hey, maybe we can have another govt shutdown to harm the economy, but our esteemed congress will get paid?

You need to understand- their objection to government handouts is that any of said handouts might go to "those people." Seriously, if the government would announce it was restricting welfare to Caucasians only, you'd see most of those folks do a 180 on how they felt about it. Heck, it's the only way Social Security was able to be passed initially; they worded everything so that basically whites were the only ones eligible. South wouldn't have voted for it otherwise.
