YOU BET.

I know many ex-servicemen who have medical problems - and have their medical expenses taken care of. BUT. They are able to earn a living and do not expect hardworking taxpaying Americans to foot the bill for not only their living expenses, but for the families they create instead of working for a living.

I have NO PROBLEM AT ALL - and would protest if it changed - with vets having their medical needs taken care of.

But, since we have a member who can type on a computer for 18 hours a day - and computer work is one of the most highly paid jobs in the U.S. - I see no reason why that 18 hours a day couldn't be spent making aliving and getting off the public dole.

It's a ghetto mentality that he's owed a living by Americans.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
