So you're a Freeper too? In case you missed it:
Government can help provide us with the basic tools we need to live out the American dream."
Very true. Government can also destroy your life just for trying to make a living. Conservatives recognize both these aspects of reality while Dems embrace the former as a religion while condemning those who point out the latter as heritics.
Further, Dems also refuse to recognize that much of government is only meant to help those who are in government. Yes, Virginia. There is a Boss Tweed (who was a Dem)
Please refer to your handout. The first column records some typical things "Freepers" say. The second records what the same Freeper said after the Senate voted cloture on the president's bankruptcy bill. Column A: "We are going to see a day, in our lifetimes, when schools force children to engage in homosexual acts as 'projects' or 'homework' for sex-ed." Same guy, column B: "The newly amended bankrup
So if the bankruptcy bill is so important to you Rick, why not just concede the homosexuality issue to the conservatives, hmmmm? Hubert Humphrey or JFK or FDR or Harry Truman would have. Why not you? Could it be that those who run the party feel that embracing homosexuality as a virtue is more important than the fiscal stuff?
But understand something, Rick. We, unlike most Dems, can pick up the B.S. You and the Dems are limo libs interested in what's good for you, not what's good for those whom you claim to represent.
Understand that it's what's important for the Democratic
Party and
Democrats that's important, not the United States as a whole that's important.
For instance, in Russia, Lithuania, and Hong Kong, they've gone to a flat tax on incomes. Result? People pulled the rubles out from under the mattresses and put them to work. Growth in Russia is going great guns, for instance. You'll never get a liberal Donk to sign on to that, because they value redistribution of income much more than they value creation of wealth. Without the ability to redistribute income, the Donk loses power.
Power is what matters to the Donk, not what's good for America. Get that through your head, and you'll understand liberals.
If it weren't so predictable, it would be a piss poor chapter from an Ayn Rand novel.
Be Seeing You,
