8. I got an email from a "conservative" acquaintance that I'm debating,

she says she and her family were helped by the government when they immigrated (but it was short-term, they got jobs soon after, blah blah blah), but she is against social programs.

It's not socialism when it benefits them, military contractors, and the like,

They won't turn down the jobs, they will find some rationalization.
