Along with hearing the usual nonsense about how Conservatives want to poison the air and water, kill all the wildlife and cut down all the trees, the Left is also very fond of accusing Conservatives of wanting to throw grandma over the cliff, leave the sick and hungry to die in the streets without food or healthcare, and otherwise abolish the "social safety net" (AKA Welfare State) here in America.
Since there are a lot of people here who identify themselves as Conservatives, I'm curious to know how many of you actually want to abolish the safety net programs and how many of you support them.
For those Conservatives who support the Welfare State, I'd like to know what makes your support of the welfare state morally different, or somehow better, than the Leftists view. I see no moral difference. I find all support for the welfare state to be immoral.
