On the Conservative Nanny State

There were headlines on the web yesterday to the effect that the GOP wants to change welfare to prohibit recipients from buying junk food.  This, of course, on the heels of mandatory drug tests for public assistance.  Businesses getting tax breaks are not subject to this kind of hassle.

The next time you hear a Republican go on and on about how he supports “freedom,” just remember that he means “freedom” for his kind of people–not for the other kind.
