Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That the democratic base is made up entirely of people not paying federal income tax, who are receiving checks from the government, are voting for Obama only to continue receiving that money, and who are also lazy shiftless bums.

I'm sure all of the secret Muslims are on welfare too.
Obviously, obviously.
Hey, remember that time George W Bush sent us all checks? Man, that was some evil shit right there.
The thing that's so funny to me about this epithet is that I know actual socialists, who live in a commune, who share all their belongings. By living in accordance with their view of biblical teachings.
It kind of makes me cry to think about how the religious Right (or, as an awesome old lady activist I used to work with always said, "the irreligious WRONG!") would respond to Actual Jesus. I mean, can you imagine?

Or, you could be like me, and make a point of living in a diverse area. I have no idea what the demographics of various ethnic or racial groups are in the US, and based on what I see every day, I am likely to wayyy over estimate.
