Liberals Love to Scape Goat

Image via Wikipedia

I work with a lot of bleeding heart liberals and one of the frustrating parts of any conversation is the way they frame their questions. I think it is where they say, "But don't you think..." insert some phrase like, "Babies deserve health care? It's not their fault that they were born into poverty." While it is true that it is not the babies fault that it was born into poverty, it isn't mine either. 

There is the problem. Liberals love to set up a straw man scape goat in the form of the greedy, malicious, set on everyone else as they climb to the top, capitalistic rich people (usually white). Wealthy white liberals love to point  at all other (usually conservative) white and declare, "Those white rich people, not us". 

Well, I am tired of the liberal nonsense. There is a difference between a right and a right to pursue. The constitution speaks of the right to pursue happiness. Nowhere is happiness, healthcare, minimum wages, or much else guaranteed. Happiness is not guaranteed. I think our founding fathers knew that even if you got what you where pursuing you still might not be happy. But, the liberal dogma of "everybody deserves" demands that someone arbitrates who has too much and must redistribute from one person to another. That is where all dictatorships are born, in the egocentric heart and mind of those who think they will solve all the problems by making everything equal.

Think about it.

Who's the bully now?

It's not that I don't know that bullying is an issue. I work with disciple at a Middle School! I can't tell you the number of phone calls I have had with concerned parents when it comes to bullying. So, you might think that when I read about President Obama speaking out against bullying I would be quite pleased. Actually, I think the President should be more concerned about global bullies like that thug Gadhafi  in the middle east then his future voting block now on middle school campuses.

I have enough trouble with the micro managing knuckle heads in the local district offices who make decisions based on how things would affect their careers rather than what is right or wrong or even what would ultimately teach a particular student what is right or wrong. Why doI need the federal government reaching its' slimy hands way down to us? 

But, hats off to the President for taking such a strong stand on such a crucial global issue. This is a beautiful example of how a President can influence society. It reminds me of the Clinton's anti smoking smoke screen. Taking a stand against smoking and bullying sounds goods and who would disagree except smokers and bullies?  I don't notice any decrease in smokers. I just find them more annoying.

Finally, isn't the current President the biggest bully of them all? He wants to "re-distribute" everyone else's "wealth". He has taken over 1/6 of the economy with Obama-care. Do I have a choice under his plan? Is that really a choice? What are community organizer who hire and direct groups of thugs, I mean "protesters", to go an assail and hassle an opponent into submission but bullies by another name? I ask you, who's the bully?

No Tax Tuesday: The Coveting Left

You know what? I just don't like paying taxes. I don't like paying taxes because it reduces my standard of living. To restate the obvious: when I don't have money I can't use it to provide for my family. Since the government is such historically bad stewards of my money I consider it a wasteful use of my money. 

What kind of person sits around thinking about taking someones money? Besides the obvious answer: thief. There is another answer; a Democrat, socialist, or leftist. Follow me on this, please. Socialists like to talk about the redistribution of wealth. Taking from me  and you to give to someone else whom "they" deem more deserving via taxation is what the left does, ever so self-righteously. They love to accuse capitalists of being greedy. The idea being that in order to succeed one must do so at the expense of someone less fortunate. I guess the thought is that hard work is really just grabbing something (profit) before someone else can get it. 

 Now, what about coveting? To covet is "to desire (another's property) eagerly or wrongfully. "I say this is what the left is all about! They covet the success of those who work hard and wrongfully believe they have a right to take another persons "wealth" and give it to whom they see fit. Everyday there are politicians sitting around coveting our money. Now, the Good Book calls coveting a sin. Taking other people's money is also called stealing, again, a sin. So, what we have is a bunch of thieves coveting our money and willing to steal it. They are called politicians.
