So, you are willing to remove yourself from the "entitlement" roles of Social Security benefits?
Unequivocally, yes.

And you will forego any V.A. benefits for yourself or those who've actually fought to protect this country?
Exceptions would be granted for vetrans. They/we have
earned the right.

You are willing to have your grandmother, who might be on S.S. to pay FULL price for any and all medical costs incured in her old age?
My grandmothers and grandfathers are dead. Why do you think I should pay for anyone else's? Pay for your own grandmother's, grandfather's, father's and mother's bills. I don't want to.

But, more importantly, you would have a veteran who fought for this country PAY for the right to VOTE?
Vetrans have already paid for the right.
Quote:
And strip him of that right ENTIRELY, if he doesn't OWN property?
Vetrans have already earned the right.

Yes, well you can try, but you do understand, we have the guns?

And you think the disenfranchised youth and minorities in this country DON'T have guns?? :shock: They've got YOU outgunned PRECISELY because you won't compromise on things like assault weapons bans, etc.
Now your being silly, disenfranchised youth and minorities having ME outgunned and more importantly, out trained and out committed. This is funny. :lol:

I know you're only joking around, Terry, as I am! You didn't miss the irony (I hope) that I intended by mentioning your OWN guns?
About some of it, just as you are. As I see it, our philosophical differences are: You want to treat these people as children taking care of them for life because You know better how to run their lives than they do. I, on the other hand want to treat them as adults, giving them a swift, motivational, kick in the pants if necessary. With me, they will get only the bare minimum to survive. These are the main differences between conservatives and liberals.
