(4,113 posts)they're too embarrassed to acknowledge they've sought help under similar circumstances.
I live in farm country USA, where everybody slams the welfare cheats who are breaking this country's budget. Yet, these same people are among the largest, if not the largest recipients of federal farm commodity and conservation funding in the county. Plus, they don't pay sales tax on anything related to their farm operation (and I know a lot of them manage to purchase things for personal use and get the exemption). I know some who supplement their incomes as employees of the US Postal Service or a public office such as county commissioner, township trustee, or other office and are receiving taxpayer-funded wages, health insurance and pensions.
All of this never seems to dawn on them. And many of these same people listen to the Limbaughs, etc on the radio religiously.

(1,241 posts)you should have heard the beet farmers crying because the subsidies check was late because of the shut down. Greedy, selfish Republican farmers who have had everything handed down to them generation after generation. Where I live is plum full of them. And they all have old homesteads with livable homes that are sitting empty that they refuse to rent or sell. And I mean there are thousands of empty homes here that they won't even discuss it with you. And they all brag about how we take care of our neighbor here in the west, like it's some tradition or something. Phony hypocrites.

(12,051 posts)those dirty eastern welfare cheats while they pulled down every farm subsidy known to man. They were so flush they could spend 4 months vacationing in AZ every winter. It was disgusting.

(750 posts)My earlier views about Limbaugh and a long list of right wing talk artists floated to a level of the same hate that they spew out. But now realize to guard my measure of criticisms. Limbaugh and a huge list of hate radio electromagnetic paladins have sophist capabilities that the ancients talk about in scripture.
Thats all it is, these talkers spew rhetoric of pure nonsense mixed with a level of hate and bias that is worth something to the one percent. Especially political people like the former President Bush, or Vice President Dick Cheney. Those types, Bush/Cheney appear occasionally on what we the people should call politically incorrect talk shows.
Now from my view they should be able to stay on the air way and talk away. Plus every chance you get to listen carefully because as they become so connected with each other they are so isolated from the majority. The real interesting thing is many are having the courage to expose them. Snowden and Manning being just a few so far however before the next elections many more will be expose for the ruthless neurotic political believes that link them to the gerrymandered few.
The NSA scam has a lot to do with it. The Mega data gives the Meta math that is a total advantage the upper crust of both the Republican and Democratic persons that are really Republicans of the worst kind.
Now many know the corporate media is a key player in the lies and chaos of just plain smear or character assassination of ideas like health care or climate change.
Just the regular weather avoids what is called the Hadley Cell for decades those concepts in atmospheric systems are privy to the one percenters for early warning disaster insurance stuff, especially stock market dumping. Worse the Hadley Cell is an atmospheric condition linked to energy of rotating systems, Coriolis that can become unstable from earths angular momentum conservation.
That is an economic advantage that gives the capability to profiteer in huge amounts. Examples of that kind of profiteering are on the Thom Hartmann radio program. If the truth was really told many would realize Snowden exposed political and corporate people in both parties.
The consciousness of who they are and what those right wing Journalist stand for is surfacing creating their own demise. Notice Limbaugh rarely if ever says that famous phrase of his; he has Talent on loan from God. That rhetoric of getting a loan from God breaches the very deep and dear divine level of human asencension. What is remarkable is those groups that are deeply truly religiously devoted to Limbaugh or Huckabee really do not understand how they have been punked. Talent is a Blessing given from God, it is not loaned.

(48,988 posts)The Right Wing Authoritarian and Authoritarian follower mindset is primarily ideological.
They start with an ideological premise ("47 %", "moochers", "global warming hoax", "gay lifestyle choice", pave the earth, etc.) and then cherry pick facts to fit and ignore everything else. This is made especially apparent by their benchmark mottos: "We make our own reality", "We don't do nuance". Unfortunately there is a lot of overlap with religious faiths, in demographics and in the anti-factual ideology.
The premise boils down to "I've got my stack; hands off Jack!".
The political fraud / trick is that they convince lots of losers that they too will become millionaires any day now, and have to protect millionaires because they will become one.
