"Public opinion contradicts you."
Which is the saddest commentary possible.
Why can't a city(or county or State) pass a law making illegal aliens ..ILLEGAL denying residence in any rental or sale of property?.. And making it illegal to "knowingly" sell them anything?..
I fail to see how America's/American's willingness to help others here and abroad during catastrophe as "sad"
In fact, it is you who oppose such activity, that is sad.
Willingness to help others is one thing.......being forced to do so is an entirely different issue.

The willingness of individuals to help their neighbors is not the question, the force of government in deciding who gets the help and whose assets get used to provide that help is the issue. Your ability to morph the two, then somehow point to others with the "they are selfish" argument is what is sad. The fact that most of society seems to go along with you is sadder still.
And saddest of all is the fact that the FR community has many people that can't see the difference!
I agree with you.
I'm already forced to do enough for others through confiscatory taxes.
What I choose to or choose not to do for others is nobody's danged business but mine.
Not only did we suffer greatly with each increase in taxes, but our charitable organization suffer as well. Why give to any charity outside of the Government? I would venture to say that charitable giving and participation are inversely proportional to the tax rate.
The government set the bar pretty low when it comes to taking private property with the Kelo decision a couple years back. After that un-Constitutional decision nothing much surprise me anymore !!!
Do you take the conservative position on any issue?
Thanks for the ping!
Did you used to post to FR under the name "Cultural Jihad"? I'm getting some major-league deja vu about now.
I do because I want to, not because I have to..........but once said charitable organization starts pushing for higher taxes or intrusion on rights, they lose my support whether they get their wish or not.
"There is a lovely cadre of FReepers just dying to give up more freedom to the government in the emergency we call WOT.
Phone taps and unwarranted searches are just hunky dory as long as its W. As soon as its a RAT govt. it is a totally different story. I can't stand hypocrites and the blind are even worse."
MEGA BUMP!
I do as well, and I am very careful as to who gets that money. I know of many folks that just assume the government takes care of all the stuff that charities used to do...
Nowadays the majority of my charitable giving is in the form of time which permits the various organizations I belong to, to make money.
"Do you have any guns?"
"No"
"Well, we have to enter to make a search per the city ordinance."
"No you don't."
"Whats to stop us sir!"
"The guns I told you I do not have!"
I just thought I would go and see what a bustling metropolis this place was...

I'm still parusing the site...
It was in the Sun-Sentinel (a commie rag) a couple of days ago. World Net Daily doesn't do anything original.
Sorry, I don't have a spare generator. You should have prepared better. Now get off my property or I will be forced to defend it.
