Let me see if I can explain this in a way that people will understand. It makes sense to me, but sometimes putting things into words is a little more difficult. As with God, you can't explain it, you just believe.
Just so with liberalism. This morning it hit me as I listened to Friday's podcast of Rush Limbaugh, that his explanation of the events of the campus shooting was right on. This was a GUN FREE zone! So the gunman had no reason to fear that anyone would take him out before he accomplished his mission... to kill people. Just because the campus wished that it was a gun free zone doesn't make it so.
So I started asking myself some questions. Why are the same people who want to take the guns out of everyone's hands the same people who refuse to prosecute those who use them to commit crimes? Think about it. So the easy part will be to take away guns from law abiding citizens, but the hard, impossible really, part will be getting them from the crimminals.
There are actually people out there who think everyone is the same with the same wishes and desires and if we just reason with them all will be right with the world. We will have peace and everyone will sing Kumbaya or We are the World, hold hands and eat a tofu burger before driving off in their Toyota "Pious". Isn't that the ultimate form of selfishness?
First of all to think that their way is the ONLY way, and that their thinking is the same as GOD CONSCIOUSNESS. How self-centered. It's like those liberal programs. As long as the intent is right, the program must be good. It doesn't work, but don't look at the results. Of course the money spent on these programs would be better used if dropped off at the homeless shelter in a wheel barrow rather than filtered through the various public servants who syphon off their weekly salary before turning the crumbs left over to the needy. I often hear these people saying that they chose their job so they could give back... BULL! Selfishness, that's why they took the job. To pay their bills. To feed themselves and their children. To put gas in their Toyota "Pious". If you don't believe me, witness how they treat their "clients". That's what social workers call their cases now because it gives the homeless person more dignity. Like being called a client makes up for sleeping under a bridge.
I am very generous in my lifestyle and reward people for trying to do the right thing. I don't need the government syphoning off tax money that I earn to pay for people to do the good deeds for me. Simple as that. So in my opinion, liberals are actually selfish in that they would rather be taxed and let the government do the hard work rather than do it themselves. It's gutless and it's lazy.
