It’s one thing to debate the righteousness of our taxation policies—whether you’re single, married, raising children, a (co)property owner, disabled, a veteran, caring for sick parents, making millions a year or just scraping by, every US citizen has a right to demand fairness in this realm. Wasn’t unfair taxation reason enough for the American colonies to revolt?
It is one thing to lament the poor state of marriage and parenthood in our modern society and to how to address those issues in an unobtrusive manner. For example, we can stop benefiting poor behavior on the taxpayers’ dime. We can argue the unfairness of governmental fees and contract laws, the inequities in divorce court and child-support laws. Here there is plenty of room for debate.
It is a completely different matter to endorse a radical societal change under the guise of less government and more freedom and equality, then blatantly ignore the fact that those policies will require changes in government-mandated education, crime legislation, property rights, religious freedom, health care costs and tax policies.
To then turn around and play “Aw shucks, ya got me” and mock people who hold thousands-of-years-old values dear, is just over the top.
“...and mock people who hold thousands-of-years-old values dear, is just over the top.”
Yea, that’s what it has become. We are the IDIOTS, simply because we don’t, essentially, want a ‘cultural’ revolution in the United States. Well, if the clowns here want to call me an idiot, or a reactionary, because I love the country I grew up and I am not interested in their cultural experiments, then I guess I’m an idiot - and I’m just fine with that.
(although I do with that JR would get these dingbats off of this site)
Hey Bobl, these radical Muslims have thousands of years of values that they hold dear. Are we going to accept those without arguing, discussing, changing, or mocking? Or would that be over the top?
Hey Two, these radical Muslims have thousands of years of values that they hold dear. Are we going to accept those without arguing, discussing, changing, or mocking? Or would that be over the top?
