Can this be put in Breaking News? It has attracted a lot of views and responses for only a few minutes. It affects us all and everyone should see it.

If Obama wins, he is about to see JUST how "selfish" some of us can become.

I plan to lay off quite a few & discontinue benefits. If that ain't enough, flex time is gone. I am one of about fifty business owners (that I know personally) who are planning to do the same.

STUPID LIBERALS. YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?

Damn right it’s selfish. Imagine working your butt off 7 days a week for years to break a profit and then not wanting to share with the schlub who sat on his arse or stood in the welfare line.

Socialism is based on coveting (and inciting your neighbor to covet), theft, and deception.

Hmmm... wonder how socialists can say they aren’t “godless”.

It is NOT selfishness to want to keep your hard earned money. It not selfishness to keep any money, even inherited. It’s your right to decide what you want to do with it. I am so sick of Obama. This man is an idiot and isn’t qualified to be a dog catcher!”

Agreed! It is, however, a sin to steal, and a sin to covet your neighbor’s possessions. Didn’t Rev. Jeremiah Wright teach Obama that in those 20 years?!

Exactly, once, just ONCE, will some gutless reporter wake up and remember what his job is supposed to be. How come not one reporter has asked Obama what happened at the Khalidi dinner, Jesus, Brian Williams you spineless shill, just ask the guy what was said there, who was there, do you regret being there?

And you hit it well Ladyvet, this is the arrogance of Obama, he can’t help but let these contemptuous things slip out.

I’m fighting until Election Day.

When is the next McCain rally, this is more political gold that McCain needs to be shouting to the rooftops.

John Locke published in 1690; " Though the earth, and all inferior creatures, be common to all men, yet every man has a property in his own person: this no body has any right to but himself. The labour of his body, and the work of his hands, we may say, are properly his. Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labour with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property. It being by him removed from the common state nature hath placed it in, it hath by this labour something annexed to it, that excludes the common right of other men: for this labour being the unquestionable property of the labourer, no man but he can have a right to what that is once joined to, at least where there is enough, and as good, left in common for others."

I do believe and hope that Mr. Locke was quite a bit brighter than The ObamaNation and all his RATs.

Would it be inappropriate to suggest you lay off the Democrat supporters first?

I credit this to the prayer warriors who are praying for the simple gift that the politicians will slip up and tell the truth.

Luke 63:45
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

It isn’t selfishness that is a virtue. Self-reliance is a virtue.

An example of selfishness would be if a person has millions of dollars and lives is a big mansion, say, in a nice neighborhood in Chicago, and does nothing to help blood relatives who live in destitution.
