Enigmas

American enigmas...

(1) Isn’t it weird that in America, our flag and our culture offend so many people, but our benefits don’t?

(2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans - when illegal aliens are receiving a free education?

(3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled “racists” and “Nazis,” but illegal aliens are called “Dreamers.”

(4) Liberals say, “If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it’s worth it.” Well, then, if deporting all illegals saves just one life, wouldn’t that be worth it?

(5) I can’t quite figure out how you can proudly wave the flag of another country, - but consider it punishment to be sent back there.

(6) The Constitution: It doesn’t need to be rewritten, - it needs to be reread.

(7) William F. Buckley said: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other points of view, and are then shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view.”

(8) Joseph Sobran said: “‘Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money. ‘Greed’ means wanting to keep your own. ‘Compassion’ is when a politician arranges the transfer.”

(9) Florida has had 119 hurricanes since 1850, - but some people still insist the last one was due to climate change

Isn’t it wonderful that the local election office knows how you voted and can tie your name to your marked ballot but that same local election office cannot give you a receipt of how your ballot votes were counted

You need an ID to buy a pack of cigarettes but not to vote.

Government-assessed fines are meant to discourage certain actions, but government-assessed taxes have no effect on economic activity.

The rich, who use virtually no welfare benefits, are expected to “pay their fair share,” while illegals, who have never contributed a red cent but use billions, aren’t asked to pay anything.

If methadone is free to addicts because they have a disease… why is chemo not free for cancer patients?

Yes!

Law abiding citizens follow the rules and criminals don’t.

Why do we have so many regulations?

In order for the party of the rich to garner more votes, that party would assist as many Americans as possible to become richer.

Then this must also be true.

In order for the party of the poor to garner more votes, that party would assist as many Americans as possible to become poorer.

Which would you rather be - rich or poor?

How come rocks are acceptable weapons when thrown to protect our children in school but are harmless projectiles when thrown to break our border with Mexico?

For any Democrats who are reading this post, ‘enigma’ means: a person, thing, or situation that is mysterious, puzzling, or ambiguous.
