So you are either lazy for not refuting them, or simply whining that someone is posting statistics with which you disagree.
I think you both are misunderstanding where I’m coming from. It’s not just the statistics a person should question but the government and its motives as well.
Is this not a conservative site? It sucks I have to explain this here but here goes.
It was just the other day the owner of this place defined what this place is and one of the things he posted was standing for limited government. That’s why I’ve enjoyed reading at this place for so long. Even our Constitution was set up for a limited government in place.
The sad thing is we’ve trampled on our Constitution for so long that we have a big, powerful, intrusive government in place. Now, it’s big and bloated, have a massive debt for generations to come just to keep the big government statist dream alive. We’ve sacrificed our children’s future for that dream that is nothing more than a big lie.
We now have a government that is big and powerful enough to lie and deceive, be corrupt and abusive. The democrat party, liberal repubs, obummer, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, Fast & Furious are just a few examples of the abusers and corruption to those who oppose their big government dream.
As I’ve come to understand, this place represents the opposite of that, which is a defender of our freedoms and liberties. There is a reason our founders feared big government and that is why we have a Constitution. There is not one reason, as conservatives, that we can’t question big government and their motives. Especially given the corruption and abuses we all have witnessed in recent times.
I have battled a lot of liberals over the years, deep down they are nothing more than statists, looking to and trusting their government to be the end all. We have a whole culture that has been raised this way and once in awhile, I see it here. There is nothing wrong not trusting the government and what it is doing. Personally, I believe it’s all about preserving government power, regardless of party. I would think you two, as conservatives, understand questioning it, given all the corruption going on these days. Celebrating what the government is putting out, given all the corruption going on, is what makes me question your motives.
