Blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah.
Blah blah blah, blah blah.
Never have so many words said so little.
I am asking you to recognize that the silly notion of building a discriminatory policy wall around the white, evangelical, heterosexual empire while turning a blind eye to environmental science will only seal our fate to go the way of the Romans.
Delusional pablam from a self-centered ego-maniac.
Her clients:
I wonder how this genius explains the fact that socialist/communist regimes have murdered over a hundred million of their own citizens in the past hundred years?
Of course, insisting that unicorns and rainbows make a reliable, renewable electrical energy source, as do Liberals, is a real testament to living with reality. /s
In a perfect world, people would all work hard and share the bounty of their efforts.
However, people themselves are imperfect, acting in our own self interest is the best system for us.
“For the Greater Good”

He calls himself a “therapist,” but he’s merely a licensed counselor living in Kalispell, Montana.
Any mention of the hard-left NIMBY Kennedy’s vetoing wind farms off the coast at Martha’s Vineyard? I couldn’t make it through that drivel.
Ayn Rand would not be pleased.
The Common Good. Bless it's little black heart. Hitler knew what it was. So did LBJ and Obama. Hillary knows for sure. I trust none of them to tell me what is in my best interest. Politicians always conclude that what is in MY BEST INTEREST just happens, by an amazing coincidence, to actually be what is in THE POLITICIANS BEST INTEREST.

Liberals sometimes are right: "GOP (establishment) appeals to self-interest and forgets greater good", however, an astute fellow might recognize that the GOP establishment is enriching themselves at the cost of the greater good for America. They are rejecting everything that made us great.
Instead, this moron whinefests about fake 'science'.
Self interest is the best path to serving the greater good.
What a barf fest.
The author is shockingly unaware of the effects of the policies he advocates. The “greater good” to which he mindlessly pays tribute is best served by allowing self-reliance rather than by promoting dependency.
It’s both democrats and republicans who draw congressional district maps in ways that favor non-competitive elections so that insiders can stay in power. That’s an argument for less government, not more. Small government, with less money to throw around for those with connections, is better able to do its real job, which is best for those who genuinely need government help. Congressional district boundaries are an insider problem, not a republican (or democrat) problem.
Tax loopholes are the same as district boundaries - insiders of both parties create them to serve their own interests, especially for bribes/donations. The answer is a simpler tax code, with no exemptions, deductions, or loopholes for anyone, not even those with lots of kids (like me) or with lots of connections (like the mostly liberal multimillionaires who lobby for these loopholes).
Protecting the environment (conservation!) is a conservative value. The difference is a demand for facts and evidence. I exhale CO2 continually, and I need more than a shaky computer model before I’m willing to spend money to reduce that alleged pollutant. I cannot imagine anything more wasteful than spending $1T a year reducing CO2, if that naturally-occurring gas is benign and the money could have been used to reduce real pollution. I’d rather get the most bang for my buck and conserve the funds we have for the environment, ensuring that they do the most good. Clean up our inland waterways? Yes. Reduce pesticide and other agricultural runoff? Definitely! Spend money on CO2 while neglecting bigger environmental issues? No, thank you.
The self-congratulating author thinks the “Greater Good” is served shipping oil by truck or train instead of by pipeline. Has he looked at the relative risk of those options?
As for his request for “an equitable, fair, and authentic consideration of the common good is the only sustainable form of self-interest,” he has missed a fundamental point. Conservatives are advocating for exactly what he demands. There is nothing more fair and equitable than to allow people to do their best and to benefit from their own efforts. We have an extremely generous safety net, so generous that many people choose not to try in life. I find that sad and more than a little racist. While most welfare families are white, a disproportionate share of black families are on welfare, with the EBT card buying everything they need except a sense of accomplishment and purpose. I’m not bigoted enough to support inflicting that on so many black families, and I’m disappointed that the author supports that racist policy. Dialing back the scope of government is the best way to serve the common good, including for minorities, that he claims to care about.
Well, you don’t understand. If we could just kill all the people in the hundreds of millions and by doing that could succeed in stopping economic development in the world!! You know, factories that make things and all that!! Then the children of the elites who know better than we do what’s good for us, such as this genius’ daughter, would be soooo much better off.
