Thomas also said that conservatives are neither thinking nor caring people........

-—sorry Helen,——

we do think and we do care but elitist like you,dismiss our ideas as too simple minded and mean spirited.
These ideas rely on self reliance and sacrifice rather than the collectivism of an overbearing federal government......

You know, I had an uncle whom I dearly loved. Very religious. But a liberal Democrat. I asked him, “Why are you a Democrat?” And he answered, “Because Democrats help people.”

He couldn’t think beyond the 1930s, and he didn’t realize that “helping people” meant prolonging the Great Depression so that it actually lasted three times longer than it should have.

Welfare - that liberal invention of “compassion” - is poison to the soul of everyone who succumbs to it.

“Redistributionism” is another way of saying “stealing.” But the fact that it is the government doing the stealing presumably makes it “moral.” Might does not make right.

The biggest two problems of liberalism is that it represents the abandonment 1) of objective moral values and 2) of individual responsibility.
