Where Do We Find Our Values?
The New Media Journal ^ | February 23, 2008 | Thomas D. Segel

If you make your home in Texas, you can’t escape them. They are everywhere these days, hurriedly promising bounty to all within range of their voices. Even their printed matter is filled with pledges of greater public funding. The Democrat contenders for the Oval Office will GIVE everyone healthcare. They will GIVE everyone a meaningful education. They will GIVE those who are about to lose their homes, protection. They will GIVE those on the border and across the nation security. They will GIVE the illegal alien his or her unearned path to citizenship.

The only thing wrong with all these wonderful gifts is they are not the property of political office seekers to pass out as if they were door prizes. What they want to give away is not theirs. It is a redistribution of every hard working American’s wealth.

The reality is, those who march on the secular left, while parroting compassion and reaching out to the poor and underserved with grandiose monetary rewards, rarely give anything from their own personal treasuries. They speak of change and hope, but what they really mean is they hope to give their followers your change...along with the folding money from your wallets.

Where do people find their values?

One thing for sure....the Democrats.....or politicians in general..... will always have an audience. Show me any time or any people in history that have not had the poor. They have always been with us and always will. Nothing you can do about it. It’s just there. As voters, we need to get past this. Every time they, the politicians, bring it up, change the subject on them. Make them talk about what we want to hear. Ask very pointed questions and don’t let them skirt the issue without giving their thoughts.

One need only look at the Democrat record in Philadelphia. The schools are terrible. The murdering thugs are roaming free to kill citizens. High taxation drives business and citizens out. They keep electing Democrats and expect different results.

From Liberalism/Socialism/Marxism/Communism; giving what's not theirs to give in the first place.

DEFINITION OF A DEMOCRAT: “The term “democrat” originated as a epithet and referred to “one who panders to the crude and mindless whine of the masses.” Joseph Ellis, Founding Fathers: The Revolutionary Generation.

Knew there was a reason for a “Jackass” being their Party symbol.
