I'm going to start with the most intelligent of the Republican idiots, then work my way down the list getting progressively more stupid.
The Educated Republicans:
These are the rarest of all Republicans. Occasionally you will run into one in public, or in a public-forum online. These Republicans are the smartest of the Republican idiots. They have learned everything there is to know about their position, from a Republican perspective. They've educated themselves on all the reasons why their position is correct.
The reason
Life enjoys throwing me curve balls. But as with anything, you see enough of something and welll....it was just a matter of time until one came but I had my bat, cleats and game face on.
In a slightly less abstract metaphor, its always nice to turn over a new page.
Telling a photographer "thats a nice camera, it must take great pictures" is like telling a poet "thats a nice pen, it must write great poems" and sounds equally absurd to photographers.
So the term "welfare state" is quite the buzz term lately it seems.
While there are plenty of arguments for and against, I have an issue with taking either side. Its simply that it has already been framed in such a way that welfare is the issue.
What has struck me time and time again however is that if we had more equality of wealth distribution, wouldn't it largely negate the need for a "welfare state"?
