Far too many of today’s voters, especially the younger ones, want a government that acts like a benevolent parent.
What they don’t realize is that the love they expect from that parent will NOT come from a government.
And they don’t understand that anything given by a government can even more easily be taken away. That’s why things like health care, food, and housing are NOT rights. A “right” can not be taken away, and others can’t be obligated to provide those rights. If they are obligated, they are slaves.

yes... i heard a radio call in show tonight where the mostly-young callers kept saying they voted for X or Y because s/he would give them more “affordable housing” and “access to medical care” and “my right to go to college (without paying for it)” and so forth and so on.
What a tragic situation we’ve reached.
obviously unsustainable but in the meanwhile, tragic.
one thing, tho.... not only benefits can be taken away. our rights, too, can be taken away. such as what’s been happeninng to us these past several years with the Bill of Rights (1, 2, etc.)
‘the price of liberty is eternal vigilence’
people who are glued to their computer games or porno or sports spectacles (Christians and Lions coming before Obama’s term ends).... are not ‘vigilent’
