Liberals Even Think They Should Control Your Diet

Starting with what restaurants you can have if you are on the public dole. Basically, it is communism 101 – government supports you, so you will live as they tell you.

The Los Angeles City Council banned new fast food restaurants from opening in ‘poor’ neighborhoods. The goal of this ban is to combat obesity by drawing a healthier style of restaurants to the area.

The all-knowing liberals on the LA City Council have the audacity to think they know:

what designates a ‘poor’ neighborhood,
what is obese,
which are the ‘healthy’ foods,
what poor eating habits are,
that different restaurants will fill the void they created,
and people will flock to those ‘correct choice’ restaurants,
and the people will eat the food only mandated by the City Council.

Will the City Council then set the prices the restaurants can charge?
Will the City Council then mandate the menu choices and the amounts served?
Will the City Council then mandate the quantity a customer can order – based on the fear they may eat a ‘double’ order?

Before you think I am being ridiculous in my concerns of where and how far the City Council may go, I am already appalled at how far these liberals have gone already.

The San Francisco City Council has now banned pharmacies from selling cigarettes – cutting much needed revenue from the drug stores and hampering the many governments ability to collect much needed tax dollars.

With every city, county and even the state of California in financial hardship, liberals blindly go on their own crusades on how we all should live.

Meanwhile, the job these City Councils are suppose to do; manage a city within budget while providing great services and crime free neighborhoods – they can’t do. But they are on the top of their game when deciding what options we serfs can have for lunch and dinner.

At some point I would think liberals would eventually tell these elite would be rulers – to get their nose out of their business.

But liberals like to be like to be led. That is what makes them liberals. Tyrants prey on these useful idiots in order to get into power.

Communism 101 on display in California. Any Californians notice? I just enlightened the rest of the country. – Hank Dagny

School Starting Soon – Whining for Funds Begins

School officials are bracing for funding cuts and shortfalls.

“Every school in the state is on line to go to the slaughterhouse,” a superintendent for a public school system lamented. “The next thing that will have to be cut is people. We’re going to have people who retire and aren’t replaced. We’re going to have layoffs. Staff will begin to lose their jobs. Half the districts in the state are losing kids.”

My answer to that is, so what? You are a government agency whose job it was to educate the children that are present. If there are less ‘customers’, then you need to make cuts in your spending.

The dirty little secret, thanks to fat educational boards and fatter teacher contracts, the budgets and spending have always been based on a growth of the children population and exponential growth of annual school millages. The pension and healthcare expenses for past teachers eats up more and more of the budget for the current crop of teachers …oh, and students.

Now that the citizens have started to recognize what they are getting for their tax dollar from the state education systems, they can no longer automatically be expected to vote to fleece themselves – ‘for the kids.’

This does not bode well for the liberal institution known as Education – a favorite safe haven for liberals avoiding hard work, competition and the demands of actual performance.

Liberalism is on display at literally every school district in the nation. Cost over-runs, debt, run down buildings, outdated tools and a continually degrading performance.

You vote for Democrats, this is what you get. – Hank Dagny

Odds and Ends XXVII

Still on the road and still getting the USA Al-Jazeera Today delivered to my hotel room.

1. Page 1 has the headline “Oversight of airport screening ‘a waste’. Report: Gaps found but follow-up lacking”.

I guess we run tests to see how well the TSA does their jobs at airport security – and when they fail – the follow up of finding the root cause and corrective action is just not happening.

Well, what do you expect? The Democrats insisted the TSA agents be government workers. Have you ever seen an efficient government agency? But let’s give the government our healthcare system.

I can’t make up this lack of common sense that is liberal thinking. No one would believe it, if I just wrote it as a story.

2. Page 3A: “Drivers still leaving cars in park.” Driving is down 5% across the nation.

Well isn’t that what Al Gore and the Democrat environmental communists wanted to have happen? Less driving means less business, less tax revenue and eventually, less jobs. But, this is what you get with liberal Democrat approaches to solutions. Get used to it as the chains of communism get heavier.

3. Page 4A: “36 states offer release to ill or dying inmates – Programs help cut costs of health care, officials say”.

Are you kidding me? How does releasing a sick criminal into society save money? The ‘parolee’ can’t work, has no money and sometimes no place to live. He will simply leave the prison infirmary and show up at a regular hospital – paid for by the government – at a higher cost! That is if he decides not to have one final crime spree, since he is dying soon anyway.

Folks, get your guns. You are on your own if you have not figured this out yet. Our government has one job – and that is to protect it’s citizens. They are doing everything but that.

4. Also 4A: “Head of Ark. Democrats dies in shooting; suspect killed”

That’s a shame.

5. Page 11A: “Ravaging fire season torches Calif. Budget – Wild costs spark plan for residential fees.”
Liberalism at it’s nutty best. Instead of the State of California collecting money from logging companies to clear brush and manage forests for them – the State decides it is better to let the fires happen, kill firefighters, destroy homes, destroy acres of forest and pollute the air with smoke – and let the citizens pay extra for it.

Pure insanity – but that is liberalism.

Does everyone see the possible motive behind #4? People will have had enough of liberals, and sooner than people realize. The trouble is – people instead of standing up for their neighbor when liberals take away your neighbor’s rights, people don’t fight until their rights are under assault.

It is too late then, because there are less free people to stand with you. Liberals count on good people doing nothing. – Hank Dagny

The Nutroot Liberals Are Out in Force

While working on a campaign, you get many emails from liberal groups that spit these letters out like sunflower seeds out of the mouth of an unused relief pitcher in the bullpen. Some of the names are real, some are not and most are computer generated.

Real liberals don’t work or don’t have very demanding jobs, so they have time for this nonsense. Anyway, here is the latest idiocy being sent to candidates:

[ Dear Hank Dagny,

Sixty-three years ago this week, the United States dropped nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States still has an arsenal of more than 6,000 nuclear weapons that could produce this kind of destruction and horror again.

More and more people, including former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, former Sen. Sam Nunn (GA), and former Defense Secretary William Perry, are calling on the United States to work toward total nuclear disarmament.

I hope that your candidate would support this call and would, if elected, advocate cutting the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by at least 50 percent. I look forward to hearing from you how you would advance a world free of nuclear weapons in Congress.

Sincerely,
Asick Liberal ]

My reply was the usual two by four of truth between the eyes:

{ Dear Every real sick liberal sending this email,

If you are an enemy of the United States, please quit sending idiotic emails to candidates and crawl back to the cesspool country you came from. Your propaganda will not work with real Americans.

If you are actually an American…GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTT!

What is wrong with you? There are nations that want us destroyed and there are religious fanatics that want us dead - and you want to cut our nuclear arsenal by 50%?

Using your logic, eliminate locks, doors and security systems and you will eliminate stealing.

And if you wish to eliminate rape, you would walk thru a prison yard in a bikini (yes, men too) and tell the guards to leave.

And if you take guns away from all citizens, no one will be murdered and violent crime will stop. Yes, I know you actually believe this one. It’s the same insanity on another issue.

Your logic section of your brain is defective and a sure sign of the mental illness known as liberalism.

If I were you, I would read LQ every day and get a subscription to Rush Limbaugh’s website - and do it quickly.

The mental illness of liberalism can be cured, but only if you drown yourself in the truth - and let it sink in!

Do it right now! God bless you on a speedy recovery.

Sincerely,
Hank Dagny

I am positive they will vote for my guy now. It only makes logical sense.

A Democrat Voter Knows Better Than To Admit They Are One

Who can blame them?

Liberals have always been a silent group – unless they get together and become an unruly or unlawful mob. Conservatives can meet, discuss decide and leave – and you can’t even find evidence they were there. Liberals litter, wreck things, burn things and usually a few or many – end up in jail.

Most liberals instinctively know that their believe system is out of kilter, so they usually keep quiet in most public venues. Oh, you will see the occasional whacko car with the AlGoreGreen, Code Pink, Kerry/Edwards, My Body-My Choice and a Hillary underneath an Obama bumper stickers around Ann Arbor. It could be a man or woman driving, but one thing is for sure – they will be going 50 mph in the left lane of the freeway and won’t dare look at the other drivers who wish them - well, usually a fiery death.

The list of acts perpetrated by Democrats in the last few weeks run the gambit from abnormal, to criminal, to shameful, to treasonous, to zero acts.

Democrats went from blaming Big Oil to speculators – and then back to Big Oil, while doing absolutely nothing in Congress to change anything. Either follow thru on your attempt to socialize everything, or let capitalism work. But to do nothing is not only cowardice and dereliction of duty, but it is also cruel to citizens.

Obama changes his opinion on an issue as often as he changes cities for campaign appearances. Every stop starts with a ‘clarification’ of what he meant and not actually what he said at the last stop, but then he goes on to state the next idiotic, racist, socialist or treasonous statement he will have to ‘explain’ later.

Obama said he would raise taxes even though he knows tax cuts put more money into the treasury. He said he would still vote against the surge even though he admitted it worked. He wants us to inflate our tires because that would save the same amount of gas as if we drilled for more. This is the best presidential material the Democrats have?

The Democrat Propaganda Committee – also known as the main stream press and media – are at a loss to understand why the worst Republican candidate in the history of the GOP has closed the gap on Obama. After all, they have run a24/7 infomercial on their man Hussein, and they are losing ground. Hint to the MSPAM; the public now knows what you are.

Nancy Pelosi did not like the way our democratic government was carrying on business. After all, it is her HOUSE! So, she turned the microphones and the lights off – and banned television coverage of her antics. Republicans were trying to force a vote on oil drilling and the gutless Democrats wanted no part of democracy in action. Besides, they were late for the start of their five week vacation.

John Edwards, the Breck Girl, got caught in a hotel with a real girl – that wasn’t his cancer stricken wife. He hid in a basement men’s room for over an hour – without a hair dryer running no less – until hotel security could throw out the reporters actually staying at the hotel, in order to let Edwards slip away.

At least this woman knew better than to fool around with a married Democrat near water.

The Democrat Congress set a new low in public approval ratings as they sunk to 8%. The MSPAM still carries the word of Bush’s 38% approval ratings like it is the sign of a Democrat revolution. I’d hold off on the champagne if I were them.

With all that the Democrats and their voters do and stand for – I would pretend I was not one too – if I was them. It is truly an embarrassment to be a liberal - and overtly treasonous to be a Democrat voter.

But liberalism is a self-curing mental illness. All you have to do is act moral and accept facts and truth into your brain. Pure and simple. – Hank Dagny

Democrats Love Defeated, Disgraced and Disheartened Americans

On the Clinton News Network (CNN) Nancy Pelosi stated that President Bush was a “total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy. You name the subject, and we are trying to sweep up after his mess, over and over and over again.”

Pelosi needs to be in an insane asylum, and not in the Senate as Speaker of the House.

The economy is not anymore the fault of Bush than it is the fault of Congress.

Timing would show that the real downturn of the economy started right after the Democrats took control of Congress. But you don’t hear me trumpeting that – since I know the American economy has many issues facing it – and it is not a political party or a person per se.

But then again, I am a rational, analytical, honest person who is not trying to re-infect a bunch of mentally ill liberals with Bush Derangement Syndrome.

The ‘war’ and the ‘energy’ problem is all the fault of the Democrats – and she knows it.

The war would be over now if not for the treasonous behavior of the Democrat Party and their propaganda arm known as the MSPAM (main stream press and media). In the Senate, Democrat Harry Reid proclaimed to the world that “the war was lost.” Talk about aiding and abetting our enemies. Harry wanted the USA home, defeated and humiliated.

After all, he is a Democrat.

Besides, Pelosi should listen to her own presidential candidate. Barack Hussein just announced that ‘the surge has worked better than anyone thought’ – but he still would not have voted for it. Real American there – panning a policy that he just said was successful in defending this country.

So if Pelosi wants to see who the reason American troops are still at risk, she needs to find a mirror.

The energy problem is directly tied to the environmental policies trumpeted by the Democrat Party. Al Gore, the Global Warming Snake Oil Salesman himself stated $5 a gallon gasoline was the goal to force conservation. Barack the Magic Negro said that he wanted $5 a gallon gasoline prices too, “but just not so quickly.”

Truth be told, energy prices greatly affect the American economy. High prices for energy, means a slowed economy. Prices go up and people can’t afford the gas to go to the store in the first place.

Liberals have a mental block of economics. Democrats don’t. They know they are ushering in communism to their mentally challenged voters.

Democrats want Americans to ‘conserve, slow down, back up, don’t consume, don’t live so well, embrace declining standards of living, be happy with less.’

Public education, immigration, Social Security, high taxes, government housing, government loan programs, etc – whatever Democrats touch – fails.

There is one political party that owns misery lock, stock and barrel and it is the Democrat Party – and they are proud of it - as are their mentally ill voters. – Hank Dagny

The Liberals Are Letting This Happen to You!

A big hat tip to Chow-lie for this.

We better decide to make a stand against the anti-capitalist / communist liberals. Pure and simple. - Hank Dagny

The Disgrace of Liberalism - May Still Save This Nation

J. R Dunn wrote an article posted on the American Thinker in March, 2008, called the Disgrace of Liberalism. Sorry for the length but genius takes time sometimes.

He has optimism that with the masks falling off all of the liberal elites at this point, that real Americans will – once again – recoil at the sight of what the Democrat Party really stands for. I pray he is right. Here is a short version of the article.

“2008 marks the end of liberalism as a governing force in the same way that 1968 marked the end of liberalism as a political doctrine.

American liberals spent the ’60s seeing their programs and policies collapse one after the other. The War on Crime, the War on Poverty, civil rights legislation, Vietnam, all were either unmitigated disasters or textbook examples of the law of unintended consequences. The Democrats went into the 1968 presidential election as crippled as any political party in American history, choked with failure, bereft of ideas, and facing a general uprising from their own younger elements.

The Democrats’ 1968 Chicago convention marked the end of FDR-style liberalism. Media coverage revealed American liberals as incapable of controlling their own constituency, much less directing a country.

As delegates cowered within the convention center, Movement rioters ran wild throughout the downtown area, fighting knock-down, drag-out battles with the police. Not a single liberal figure made any serious attempt to confront, control, or even communicate with the rioters. Little more than a decade after declaring itself the “American civic creed”, liberalism was on the ropes.

Instead of joining the Whigs and Know-Nothings in historical oblivion, liberalism surrendered to its internal rebels, the Democratic Party’s left wing, indistinguishable in beliefs and intent from any hardcore socialist party on the international scene. In 1972, they ran one of their own, George McGovern, who in 1948 had served as delegate for communist front man Henry Wallace, for the presidency.

McGovern’s defeat at the hands of Richard M. Nixon represented no real setback for the new ideology. American leftists commenced their “Long march through the institutions” using techniques developed by Marxist theoretician Antonio Gramsci to take over the media, academia, and much of the bureaucracy. But liberalism in the traditional sense existed only in the minds of the naive, the ill-informed, and terminally nostalgic.

Liberals claimed a monopoly on compassion, decency, and social justice (as defined by themselves), posing as the sole defenders of civic virtue against a horde of backwoodsmen, racists, and religious fanatics.

This elaborate double imposture served to keep liberalism alive for over three decades in the absence of ideas, doctrine, and serious accomplishments. But 2008 has brought the charade to an end. Events this year have exposed, once and for all, in a way that cannot be denied, elided, or spun, Democratic liberals as the party of abject incompetence and institutionalized corruption.

Eliot Spitzer worked his way to the governorship of New York State as the living embodiment of liberal higher morality, crusading against a series of dubious financial and corporate villains. His downfall as the result of a prostitution scheme too moronic for fiction might be taken as evidence of personal failings and no more were it not for the fact that his replacement, David A. Paterson, confessed to similar activities as the first official act of his administration.

We need only add James McGreevev, ousted in 2004 from New Jersey’s governorship for homosexual escapades with an aide (apppointed to a homeland security job with the state for which he had no qualifications), to conclude that liberalism has subsided to a level of corruption of European dimensions.

It’s often overlooked — thanks in large part to the Clinton “legacy” — that such misbehavior is almost always accompanied by corruption in other spheres. Insistence by Clinton’s defenders that his various lady troubles were “personal matters” succeeded in obscuring the moral connection between Big Bill’s follies and the endless bribes, kickbacks, suicides, illegal mass firings, and vanishing files that made the “most ethical administration in history” so entertaining to watch.

These men are clearly representative of the post-Clinton Democratic Party. They set out to follow in Bill’s footsteps, have ended up much the same as he did, and have dragged their party and political doctrine along with them.

(At this point somebody will bring up the names Foley and Craig. But neither stood anywhere near the center of American conservatism in the way that the Northeastern governors do with liberalism as a matter of course. Foley and Craig were rotten apples. With the Democrats, it’s the whole barrel.)

In turning to the presidential campaign, we need do no more than mention Madame Hillary. The Ma Barker of Little Rock is in a class by herself when it comes to political iniquity (not to mention dodging snipers). The chief puzzle concerning Hillary is how, being so blatantly what she is, she succeeds in holding onto any support whatsoever. There’s a process in quantum mechanics called “renormalization”, in which certain quantities with values of infinity are arbitrarily dropped back to a more manageable “zero” for the sake of solving the equation. This encapsulates Hillary’s political career: truly mindboggling levels of corruption and ineptitude have been continually renormalized by fellow politicians and the media to enable her to survive. These people made a particular type of bargain when they bent the rules for Hillary. Now the ground is opening up under their feet. It has been a pleasure to watch.

Barack Obama was supposed to be another matter. Obama has ascended on a cloud of pure moral superiority and nothing else. That has now evaporated, thanks to impolitic comments from his wife and the news that he has for two decades belonged to what amounts to a racist cult. Obama has nothing else to offer in the way of experience or achievements.

Beyond his current difficulties, there lie his continuing and as yet unexplained entanglement with Tony Rezko (He barely knew the man, he insists. All he did was show Rezko his new house before closing. I always clear major purchases with people I scarcely know, don’t you?), along with pending revelations concerning his relationship with Bill Ayers, a former terrorist who began his career as one of the driving forces of the Weather Underground.

To this gallery we can add Jennifer Granholm, who assured that Michigan’s current slide was as drastic and damaging as possible, Ed Rendell, Hillary’s consigliere for Pennsylvania, John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Kwame Kilpartick, charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, and malfeasance in office.

That’s the Democratic Party, the bastion of American liberalism, as it stands. A party whose entire leadership cadre, including presidential candidates, state governors, and Congressional leaders, are corrupt or incompetent or both, a party more suitable to ruling a Balkan or Central African peapatch than the world’s reigning superpower.

2008 is being promoted as the year of the Democrats. Under the circumstances, it’s difficult to see this as anything but media hype. Weak as the Republicans may be, they do boast such figures as Schwarzenegger, Jindal, Crist, and Coburn among many others, not to mention a presidential candidate who, whatever his drawbacks, is a different order of being than the opposition.

But there have been danger signs. In the past few years, we’ve seen a number of “conservative” politicians who have adapted the liberal style, masking their own flaws with acceptable rhetoric. The latest of these is Mike Huckabee, who presented himself as a conservative messiah while governing Arkansas like… well, like a typical governor of Arkansas. Liberalism has demonstrated that these tactics lead nowhere. We must be careful not to succumb.

Liberalism will stagger on. It still has control of all those urban political machines, along with the unions and bureaucracies. But it has no future. Personality cults and ideology will take you only so far.

We may yet live to see this albatross removed from the nation’s back.”

I see only one flaw in Mr. Dunn’s analysis. Our nation was still over-populated with American citizen self reliant ‘doers’. Today, we are a nation of whiners. Combine that with the 40 years of liberal indoctrination from the very institutions the Left took over at the instruction of Gramsci, and real Americans may no longer be the majority.

I hope Mr. Dunn is right. A landslide defeat of the Democrats this time – with all the advantages and cheating they have at their disposal today – should end them once and for all.

One thing is for sure – either the United States Constitution wins or the Democrat-Communists do. – Hank Dagny

We Are a Nation of Whiners

Barack Never KKK Proud of and God Damn America Disown Grandma Disown Crook Resko after Loan Deal Disown Ayres who Blew Up Pentagon and Stomps on US Flag Disown Church of 20 years Flip Flop on Iraq Hussein Obama ripped McCain because a McCain staffer said that the United States is a nation of whiners.

McCain then threw the staffer under the bus with Barack’s Grandma.

The problem is the staffer is 100% correct.

Liberals are chronic whiners. That is why they are liberal. If the streets were paved with gold liberals would complain about the shine on it.

Without whiners there would be no liberalism, just a nation of doers. - Hank Dagny

Liberals Are Just Scared People - or Busy Bodies

Sorry my posts have been behind. I am too busy with family and work on a political campaign. No time even for golf right now – and that hurts!

Having an e-mail discussion with a gentleman who claims to be a peacenik. Of course he is a closet communist and doesn’t know it. He also hates his country, but won’t admit it. He also is worried about himself and wants the government to take care of his every need. But as a liberal, he covers it by saying he is concerned for the ‘poor’.

Here is our last exchange. Sorry for the length, but explaining common sense stuff like ‘it’s someone else’s property’ - takes time with a liberal. The man is in [ brackets ].

[ The Republican answer to everything is lower taxes and deregulation. ]

And they were right. But they no longer are the party of lower taxes and smaller government.
You are the perfect example of a ‘government lover’ – with the philosophy, if it works, tax it, if it moves, regulate it, if it fails, subsidize it.

One problem – none of it is Constitutional. NONE

[ Deregulation is what allowed Enron to quickly build a obscene fortune at the expense of the consumer, mostly in California. ]

Not true, but even if it was, so what? Define obscene. Define ‘the expense of the consumer.’ The consumer got something for their money. They don’t have to buy.

[ Then is made it easy for top executives to gut the company after artificially inflating the value of the stock, and to sell their stock just before the it all came crashing down. Everyone involved lost big time except for a small group of top executive. Top executive can run run a company into the ground and walk away with a fortune while everyone else loses their shirt no matter how hard they worked. ]

We have laws against that already. That is called ‘fraud’ and ‘inside trading.’ And who pardoned those people? Your government – the one you want to turn everything over to.

As far as people ‘losing their shirt’ – so what? Buyer beware and don’t depend on any company, person or government. Take care of yourself. You will be all you got someday - especially if the govenrment runs everything.

[ Top executives of publicly owned company can give themselves bonuses and raises, no matter what kind of job they are doing, while the other workers and stock holder can’t do a thing to stop them. ]

No they can’t. Board of Directors give raises. If you don’t like what they are doing, sell your stock or shut up. It is none of your business unless you are a stockholder. Where is the problem here – unless it is envy and jealousy.

[ The president and CEO of Exon Mobile has a base pay of 37 million a year while about one third of the workers in this country can’t get a job for much more than minimum wage, which barely feeds a person, let alone pays the rent, clothes them and god forbid if they get sick. It costs them almost half a weeks pay just for a tank of gas. You mean to tell me they don’t have a right to make a decent living if they are willing to work for it. ]

That is exactly what I am telling you. Find me the ‘right to make a decent living’ in the Constitution? Where is it? It is not there.
‘Minimum wage is for entry level jobs. Don’t hand me that liberal garbage. It is up to you to get the skills people are willing to pay you for.

[ You may think that this is the greatest country in the world and to tell you the truth, I once believed it was too. But the American dream is gone for most people and many of the ones who are still doing well don’t realize it and won’t until it hits closer to home. Open your eyes. I know of several people with college degrees who can’t get a job or are working for ten dollars a hour or less. ]

My guess their college degrees are in ‘liberal arts’ or some other lame curriculum. I will also bet you they are not trying very hard or will not go to WHERE THE JOB IS! Maybe their degree is in a $10 an hour position.
You know if people were not taxed at 50% of their take home (all taxes combined on ‘poor people’, their $10 an hour would go further.)

People from all over the world still flock here because the American Dream is still here – in spite of liberals trying to kill it. Americans like you don’t believe it because you still have to earn the American Dream.

You seem to want it handed to you by those doing better than you. That is called ‘wealth re-distribution’ – or communism.
People wanting to come here legally, are just looking for the chance to earn it.

[ And the more people who loss their health care, the cost of health care goes up proportionately. And you mean to tell me that nothing can be done about this. I take it that you are not hurting for anything, so there isn’t a problem. And if government moves to help these people or even give them a fair shake, you have the nerve to call it communism or socialism. ]

Once again, there is no ‘right to healthcare’. We have a Constitution. Try reading it.

Second, show me the people dying in the streets outside of hospitals? Third, it is our open border government that is stressing our current healthcare system and driving costs up. Fourth, anytime government runs anything, prices go up and services go down.

EVERY TIME. And yes, I call it communism, because it is.

[ What could make a person so uncaring and selfish? I would really like to know how conservatives, many who claim to be Evangelical Christians, can forget the main teachings of the Bible, particularly, the new testament. ]

BINGO! Now you got it! Just for your information, the charity donations by conservatives drown the donations by liberals.
Second, charity belongs in the churches, not the government. If a person falls on hard times, people – not government – will help them. Especially if the government has not already taken over half their property as they do now – and people like you call for more.

IF the person is lazy or put himself or herself in the mess, the church will only help as long as the person is actually trying to improve.

Your system hands out our money to criminals and lazy people in far greater cases than actual hard luck cases. That is why it is so expensive. People are taking advantage of the taxpayers.

Every person in this country has rights – including the ‘rich’ ones. They have a Constitutional right to their property. You don’t have a right to it, no matter how jealous, envious or mad you are someone is doing better than you, or how scared you are you can’t take care of yourself. - Hank Dagny
