Whether its Taxes, Government handouts for “disaster”, or somthing as simple as the right to own a gun and defend YOURSELF… they really think we should leave it up to the governement… after all, the government knows better doesn’t it?

Heh. They’ve spent forty frickin’ years touting the greatness of government, yet whenever I turn the television on I see and hear how the government isn’t getting the job done. Sometimes I actually see a story about how bad the government screwed something up, and then the next story is one explaining why the government should get involved in something. The idiocy of this seems lost on these losers.

The hidden message in all of this goes like this: Yeah, the government is messing up, but that’s because we keep hamstringing them with stupid ideas like states’ rights and other such nonsense. If we just let the government do MORE, if we just gave ourselves over to the government TOTALLY, all problems will just melt away.

Agreed. Which goes a long way toward explaining why libs hate conservative racial minorities so much: because they’re ungrateful. Not only do they have the nerve to think for themselves, but they do so with nary a “thank you” for everything that modern liberalism has given them: official group status as “victims,” affirmative action reverse racism, welfare-related poverty and broken families.

I often wonder how many people have died in America because of liberalism. It’s gotta number in the millions by now. The creation of a vast, crime ridden welfare class alone ratchets up that death count on a daily basis. Their programs aren’t just monetarily wasteful, they’re deadly.

I was just thinking about that today; if welfare works so well, why do we still have ghettoes? Why aren’t we all equal yet? Our schools, quality of life, etc? The only logical conclusion one can come to is that the left doesn’t want the poor to ever get a leg up and they resent the ones who do.

Hey, if poverty disappeared tomorrow, what would feel-good liberals do? ;)

The fact is, poverty will never disappear under any governmental system. As for equality, the Declaration of Independence clearly states “that all men are created equal” with regards to natural rights. That doesn’t mean, nor has it or will it ever mean, equality in every aspect of human life. We are born equal, but divergent paths soon make themselves known. As they should. Why would we all want to be equal? What would happen to their cherished “diversity” if everyone was the same?

I’ve been in meetings where we discuss NASCAR demos and I see one liberal guy that I work with in particular sneer and make fun as if he resents these working class people – you know the ones they supposedly stick up for. They make fun of people who shop at Wal-Mart – as if they’re better – they do it all of the time. And yet they profess to care about the working class.

He laughs because he thinks they’re poor whites, for one. They don’t think minorities like NASCAR. Throw in the myth that NASCAR is solely a southern phenomenon, and the fact that liberals can’t get past the civil rights movement and the South’s role in that part of our history, and there is the source of the sneers and jeers. I don’t particularly care for NASCAR myself, but that doesn’t mean I feel the need to relentlessly mock those who do.

I just finished reading Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations”. It’s a good book. The author, if you remember, was a great champion for the poor and downtrodden. He often imbued his novels with scenes of cruel treatment of the poor. He’s often credited with bringing about social reform movements that got rid of things like imprisonment for debt and the like. But what isn’t as well known is that Dickens privately thought he was better than the poor wretches he wrote about. I was so reminded of modern liberalism that I laughed out loud when I read that! Apparently, liberal do-gooderism matched with elitist superiority has been around for some time!
