I don't see how liberals look at themselves in the morning knowing they support such a repugant, and idiotic ideology.

Unbelievable!
It's now considered paeusdo-patriotic to be in such dire financial straights, that you need help from government to buy food? Hey, whatever it takes to turn an 0bama failure into a positive I guess.

Is that a typo? Maybe it's "Loan Stars".

I look in the mirror quite well each morning, particularly since I'm up so early preparing myself to GO TO WORK and actually EARN a living. I don't begrudge anyone anything, I just expect everyone who is physically capable to work for their food/shelter/entertainment/healthcare/etc rather than having it provided by taxpayers. There are those who deserve compassion and those who seek to take advantage of misplaced compassion.

Because "Independence Card" sounds nicer than "Charity Card".

Simple typo; they forgot the space.
It was supposed to say:
"IN DEPENDENCE CARD"

Can you give me some numbers on the people who are physically able to work who are not working and getting food stamps? I've always wondered about that.

So you're working hard on "some beach, somewhere"?

There are approx 5 million on soc security disability and around 47 million on food stamps. So 42 million who are able to work are on food stamps.

I get to go to the beach because I work hard. A gentleman was kind enough to respond to your other query in the post above.
