In talking to conservatives, I often hear arguments like “I’m successful, so why should I feed losers who don’t have the discipline and force of character to take care of themselves. I started from nothing, and I made it. So can they. They live pretty well already, so they have nothing to bitch about.”

I’m sorry, Brian, but the conservative you quote above sounds just like you!!! You just have to change the object of disdain from a welfare recipient to a fat person. Do you talk to yourself?
