A very good list....though I disagree with some of the wording of #5.
;-)
Do you think I’d get fired if I posted this in the firehouse bathroom?
In this economy you can still work hard try and make the best choices available and still be stymied by circumstances out of your control. It doesn’t mean your doing something wrong.
Liberalism is against human nature.
Absolutely!!!
Sad but in our community a liberal fire chief came in to upgrade our department and we have little faith in their character and morals now. They respond to every 9-1-1 call via new mandates even though all they usually do is block traffic, make a scene and have a fire truckside chat. What used to take tens of minutes to clear up an event site now takes hours. Rolling the fire truck is a $600/hour cost to the taxpayers when they could send 2 parametics in an energy efficient car loaded with things that could actually help! Sadly I will not give a dollar to any of their boot drives...I’ll take and give it myself and use the deductions!
Get a friend to post this, haa!
True...BUT, you can take a hard audit of your income and spending habits and make drastic changes so that the bottom line is less sickening each day. There are exceptions to everything but moving in the Biblical direction will change anyone’s life each day.
I THANK GOD that my grandparent’s and parent’s gave me GOD and that the second time around I married a godly man! He has lived most of his life around Proverbs even when he didn’t go to church regularly but it was in his heart and mind!
21-Money isn’t wealth; if you don’t know the difference, you’ll probably never have much of either
22-One of the reasons individuals running their own affairs is preferable to bureaucracies running things is that individuals eventually die and bureaucracies live forever.
I agree the circumstances can stymie a successful person just as much an an unsuccessful person...
It is a question of what you do going forward from that point.
Get up. Go to work. Try the best you can. After that that’s about all one can do. Try not to compare yourself to people who are more fortunate.... there’s people with 4th stage cancer who’d gladly change places.
“...still be stymied by circumstances out of your control.”

21)- You can lead a liberal to facts, but you can’t make him think.
These may be true however ‘PC’ has stopped us compiling a list of Progressive ‘truths.’
As my wise father recently told a loved one: “If the only troubles you have are financial ones, then you’re doing pretty well.”
As much as we might like it to be true, we are not all born with “equality of opportunity”. It’s not government’s fault and is nothing that can be corrected by government, it’s just a fact of life.
Whatever the “average” I.Q. is, I’ve seen the number 100, a child born with an I.Q. of 90 and a child born with an I.Q. of 110 are both only 10 points from that 100 but which child is born with a better chance to succeed? Take it further to 85 & 115 and the difference becomes profound.
Just my thoughts. I am an observer, not an expert in these matters.
The "abolish the 17th amendment" crowd clearly disagrees with this basic conservative premise, and argues continually that state governments are far wiser and better at making choices than individual citizens are.
” A very good list....though I disagree with some of the wording of #5.”
Ditto for #14.
Anxiety hits the teaparty rank and file
what to do about old Amendment number 17
is it states’ rights we desire?
Or egalitarianism, which means something in French?
Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Monroe
Won’t you tell us which way to go?
