why do cons despise government workers, but “support” the military?

[Timmy]

they are the same thing. We haven’t had a draft in 40 + years . We don’t have volunteers, we have a professional military . They are just as much fed employees as some border patrol worker .

Why do cons have this double standard with fed workers ?

And for that matter , why is the military being paid during the shutdown?

They just cherry pick what fits their agenda. It’s not like they have actual principles. They aren’t smart or mature enough for that. The GOP speaks and their voters believe everything they say.

You know, when starting with a false assumption your results will be poor.

Pay for the wall and let's get back to work. Or at least compromise with eliminating sanctuary cities and paying for aggressive ICE enforcement on illegals already here. Start with where they work and fine the employers heavily.

The military provides a needed service. Most other services can be provided by the private sector (at half the cost).

We don’t hate government. We just hate regressives when they use it for tyranny.

That might carry weight if it was not coming from one of the most unprincipled immature posters here. As it is you're more like sit, stay, roll over material.

I have made this point a few times...what is sort of ironic is that upwards of 35% of the Fed workforce are veterans, so they are loved till they are hated by the GOPers.

During my 20 years in the Marines I worked with/for/over hundreds of Fed employees and they were no different than those of us with the uniform on...just doing what was right for the country and trying to provide for their families.

But see, I have an actual history of criticizing democrats and leftwing policy. I’m not going to pretend that Dems are as despicable as republicans, but I certainly acknowledge when I think they are way off base.

Oh yeah . No lazy bums in the military? But lazy bums in the Fed work force?

How does that make any sense?

I would suggest most are employed by individuals.

This will be a shock to you since you never served, but there are lazy people in the military as well. The hundreds of Fed employees I encountered while in the Marines were no different than those of us with the uniform on...just doing what was right for the country and trying to provide for their families.

But you are ok with "conservatives" using the government for tyranny.

why is that?

Have you not read the threads on this forum, Fed employees are hated by the GOPers on this forum

I don't despise government workers. SOME of them are necessary. I just think there are way too many doing things that were never intended for government to do in the U.S.

I also think our military is way to large, and costly. So while I do support the military, I think we could spend a lot less. Also, as the military is essential to our national security, they are not affected by shutdowns.
