A has nothing to do with B or C.

Herring whines about socialism and "freeloaders" sucking on the
taxpayers' teat, and for about his entire working life, he has done
the same. And now that he is retired, he still is sucking on the
government teat.

It's not the government pay or pension Herring got or gets I find
offensive. It's the right-wing hypocrisy.

It's just more right-wingnut hypocrisy.



You make no sense. On one hand you say you don't find his government
pay or pension offensive, yet you claim that "for about his entire
working life, he has sucked on the government teat".

He did a job that is authorized and funded by Congress on behalf of the
taxpayer.
So do many other federal employees, military and non-military.

The only people I think JohnH complains about are those who are getting
benefits at taxpayer's expense who are either not legally eligible for
them, haven't earned them or otherwise don't qualify for them.
I agree with him.

That's right. I have no objection to government employees, be they
civilian or military. Nor do I object to their benefits or pensions. I
think every working American should be entitled to a defined benefit
pension and everyone here should have access to good health care.

My problem with Herring is his hypocrisy and his racism. Perhaps you
don't remember the insults he threw at his students at a predominately
black school, or the insult he threw at his Latino neighbors. I do.

He's a turd.
