Everyone is free to be as charitable as they wish - with THEIR money.
However, it is immoral for them to demand the ability to use the power of the government to be charitable with MY money.
Why is that so hard for so many “charitable” people to understand?
I would argue that my donations to feed, clothe, and house the needy (with my name never being associated with the donation) is one way of acting out the promises I made at baptism, to follow Christ’s teachings. “Donations” made at the muzzle of a gun are merely theft by Left-leaning people (regardless of political affiliation) who would balk mightily at the idea of coughing up their own cash.
It is also immoral to corrupt people’s minds and souls by making welfare into an amoral way of life rather than temporary help during a difficult time. Never forget that “caring” liberals put black on welfare reservations in the cities and called it public housing. It was conservatives who tore down those hell holes and moved to a housing voucher assistance model of living for the homeless/helpless/able bodied bloodsuckers.
But I agree that being a social and economic conservative is not the same as being a libertarian. I believe the amoral and even anti-moral agenda within libertarianism is as detrimental to a free society as is the social ideology of socialism or liberalism.
Constitutional freedom can not exist in a society where people are morally ignorant and lack the understanding and self discipline to do the right thing on their own. A society against human life is one that is barbaric. Our constitution was not anti-life (beginning, middle nor the end). It’s dependent on a culture that is good and ethical(Western).
