1. I heard some salvo fired from a RWinger about the homeless and poor people.

According to this person, they need to get jobs. So I have a feeling this is a new group of people, who are helpless about their circumstances, to be picked on. The fact that our government is not improving safety nets but cutting them back will make this group even more vulnerable to the bigotry. I did point out to this person that many of them did have jobs but due to underemployment and low wages, they still can't afford to rent. That person replied that she didn't believe that and changed the conversation. This person is too empty headed to have thought this up by herself so she is getting it from Fox News, Rush Limbug and probably at the Tea Party Church, which means it's a new meme being spread by the think tanks who invent and spread this propaganda.
