What Conservatives Get Right

The other day we were chatting with a fellow member of Occupy Norristown and she complained about people who abuse food stamps, who buy lobster and fancy steaks with them.  I was so annoyed by this obvious conservative baloney that I went home and looked into www.snopes.com, our source of truth about urban legends.  Well, it really happened, and snopes has the sales slip to prove it.  So conservatives are not always wrong, and in this election year it behooves us to know just what they do get right and what appeals to the American voter.  Recent electoral history suggests they're doing well at that.  This blog piece by Thomas B. Edsall is well worth reading.
