Talk about redistributing wealth. You would think the conservative politicians in these red states would be against this.

Believe me it infuriates me to no end. This is my pet peeve and you'll see other posts where I get on my soapbox. Conservatives want to talk about those big bad liberal states and cities being so irresponsible, but if we didn't have to send all our money to their states, we could fix our own states and cities. Well run my *ss- they're the takers.

OK- Off soapbox now.

I don't want a "conservative" wonderland anymore than I want a "liberal" wonderland. And the representatives of either ideology matter very little, as the ruling class works for themselves and not for you and I in the first place. When more people wake up to that fact, then maybe we'll see some change.
This illustrates further..

Stay out of Marion County -- it's deep-blood-red. Parts of it are represented by Ted Yoho, so that should give you an idea of the political mindset.

If you claim to be political and think that FT Lauderdale and Boca are conservative just because of your relatives, then you are not really a political person.

Frankel and Wasserman Shultz are the Congresspersons there, FFS. You can't get much more PROGRESSIVE than that unless you want to live in Sander's VT. district.

Debbie even has the TAXPAYERS paying for two police officers to carry her bags through the airport.



It's funny how you don't want to live with Cubans/Hispanics but support open borders flooding the country with indigent, uneducated and unskilled illegals.

Just sayin.

Why don't you cut the s***!

This isn't the first time you've brought this non-incident up. A deputy offers a kind gesture and you turn into this garbage? Get a life!!!

Just saying.
