If we don't invest ourselves in what we say we believe in, then we really only believe that others should make the decisions for us - that's not a conservative outlook, it's support for a Nanny State.....
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
“You forgot to mention how we can make our luck better by actually investing ourselves in the desired outcome. Do you donate anything to the Trump campaign? How about to FR?”
I always invest my time and dollars into what I believe in other wise I would be just wasting my time. I don’t believe in sitting back waiting for something or someone to do it for me.I assume most people here are of like minded. I just prefer to not lecture others.
““You forgot to mention how we can make our luck better by actually investing ourselves in the desired outcome. Do you donate anything to the Trump campaign? “
I probably will now. Early in the game I was so close to contributing to Cruz, that I almost broke my own rule. I don’t contribute until I hear all of a candidate’s positions that are crucial to me. Having skin in the game makes people stick with a candidate, even after some questionable policy choices or votes. I don’t want to bias myself prematurely.
Trump has said everything I want to hear on illegal immigration, H1B visas, taxes, bringing jobs back. (Cruz hasn’t satisfactorily addressed the first two and it’s getting late, so I gather he won’t.)
