The Cognitive Dissonance - it burns
I just need a little venting.
I posted earlier about a Small Business owner who blamed Democrats for all the troubles of the nation just as he described his story of utter collapse (due to illness) and all the support that is allowing him to recover, the support coming from programs Republicans want to curtail or eliminate.

Then this morning my republican/libertarian boss talking about the real problem of poverty in this nation and at the same time complaining that there are too many people on welfare.
I somehow managed to refrain from banging my head on the desk in front of him.
