While the politicians` image makers in Washington wire up focus group participants to determine how they respond to the words "Welfare Queen", and while good "conservatives" everywhere fight hard to do away with school breakfasts and lunches for hungry children,there seems to be a pitiful few national leaders willing to stand up and call bullshit when they see it. Actually, it`s worse than bullshit. It`s an obscene oligarchy run amok......and it`s sickening.
