Liberals Make No Sense To Me

Ok, here's another. I'm writing a lot today especially for me. The reason being is I'm housebound. We are supposed to get like two feet of snow. I'd say we've got about 15-18 inches already. We are having a good ol' fashion nor'easter. It's been a long time since we had a storm like this one. Everything in the state I think has been canceled. Good day to just sit home and relax.
So let's see, the wood stove is cranking. The tea kettle is full on the woodstove. My Clorox jugs are all full of fresh water, and I'm going to cook up a pizza soon just to have in case we lose power. We can always munch on cold pizza. Toilets are flushed and the DW has already gone thru the cycles. And I always have candles nearby. So if we lose power I'm ok. But it never seems to happen like that. It's usually when we least expect it.
I got a call this week at work from what I gather to be one of our liberal clients. She was giving me tax information and asking questions as we went along. She started talking about her kids who were about the same age as mine. She asked me if mine were still living at home. I said no and told her where they were at. She said "good for you." When I told her one was in the Air Force she started in about how bad our country was and how Bush was dreadful. Now, I was starting to steam a bit, but held my tongue. I had just got done telling her that my son was serving our country and I certainly didn't need to hear this.
Then she asked if she could take a deduction for her 24 year old daughter still living at home. Her daughter was not working and not going to school for quite some time. "She is a financial burden and the government should recognize this as such" is exactly what she said. I was dumbstruck. Here she just got done telling me how awful our country was, and then she switches and says they "owe" her to help her support her daughter.
Since I didn't want to lose a client, I kept my mouth shut. Not an easy feat for me. But I was fuming when I got off the phone and the guys knew it. She's an artist said one of the guys at work....and a very liberal one at that. I guess they knew all about her stance on the issues. Most people don't get into these things while doing their taxes but every once in a while you get a client like this who just can't help to knock down the government with one hand while grabbing what they can with the other.
Then yesterday, the one that was working on her taxes said to get me going again...."I thought you may be interested to know that this particular client only had one charitable contribution. Guess where it went?" I thought maybe it was to the DNC or some other political cause. "Nope" he said, "planned parenthood."
Figures.
