After some 230 years of first hand experience with the American human experiment known as freedom, individual liberty and self-governance, it turns out that such notions look good on paper but don’t actually work well in the real world.

The founders should have provided a “How to for Dummies” manual along with our constitutional rights of self-determination. They told us all about the upsides of freedom and self-reliance, but forgot to mention the natural consequences of bad choices made of our own free will.

Ain't seein' a lot of signs of that happening any time soon.
Good article
Who could forget them?

Emailing the link to some libs I know. Can’t wait to read what they have to say.
Another inconvenient truth...
We know that DNC leaders know what they are doing. They are feathering their own nests by building a permanently dependent proletariat class of loyal DNC voters.
But every BIG TENT Republican and blind DNC party loyalist should have to read this column...
Hope to see their responses posted here...
Great post, thanks.
Thank you!
A family is a socialistic organization. Socialism is the political philosophy of those who want the State to take the place of their parents. Socialists are simply physicial adults who haven’t emotionally “grown up” and left home to go it alone.
Have you counted how many of these men (to use the term very loosely) we have in our midst now? Check the numbers of the last several elections...
And according to the DNC, it takes one of these to raise a child in America today...
Right?
Freedom of Choice is what you’ve got.
Freedom from Choice is what you want.
