You got that right!

Saw that the past two nights in a mini series based on both the Bible and a best-selling book called “ The Red Tent.”

The Dem media has successfully spun terms like “personal responsibility” and “tax cutting” into racist, hateful terms.

They are winning the war of words.

The irresponsible are worse than infidels.
Making us support them is beyond the pale.

They deserve everything they get come judgement day!

you got it almost right “It’s all about personal rights period.”

It’s really about peoples’ desire to have rights without responsibility; and perceived rights at that. Nobody seems to remember that their rights end and the tip of everyone else’s nose. No one has an inherent right to do anything that harms me, no matter how cathartic it feels to them.

No one has a right to force their beliefs on me, no matter the direction of the PC political winds/whatever.

In the end, right now it is all about personal rights without personal responsibility or self control...

Best known otherwise as PRIVELEDGES.

...”It’s really about peoples’ desire to have rights without responsibility; and perceived rights at that.”.....

Entitlement attitudes fuel this mindset so prevalent today.
