Take most Libs that would be affected (i.e. the ones with family and jobs) and ask these questions:
You're against capital punishment but if someone raped and murdered your wife, what would you want to do with them?
You're for the legalization of certain drugs, but do you want your son using them?
You're for the legalization of prostitution, but do you want your daughter to be one?
You accept the idea of higher taxes to pay for what you see as essential social services, but should you personally pay more?
You accept additional fees for risky behaviors or unhealthy living such smoking and health care, but should we charge more for those that smoke pot, engage in homosexuality, etc etc etc?
The Lib is simple, he truly is. Liberalism in America has nothing to do with what the original term “liberal” once meant. In it's historical and actual meaning it's a positive term and many that call themselves conservative actually are liberal in so far that they want to maximize freedoms and embrace change. However, in contemporary America it's simply a class of people that are hedonistic, selfish, irresponsible, unpatriotic, and secular.
BTW- the typical Lib will do the avoid the question shuffle and use some fallacy to answer or deflect on the aforementioned questions.
Skinflint! We gave a lot more than that proportionate to our income. Typical ‘Rat.
Cheapskate! So is Bambi...sent a measly $15 G to Haiti. They are FREE spending when it is OUR TAX DOLLARS.
Libs are only charitable with OTHER people’s money, never their own
exactly.
If it were just cash, that number might be okay. But "in-kind donations" reeks of another Clinton underwear deal.
ML/NJ
And, the Obama’s got 5.5 mil in ‘09 and gave “about 1% to charity in ‘08-’09”...not difficult to see whose wealth these “wealth spreaders” are wanting to “redistribute”... everyone else’s and not their own.
To quote the man...
“It’s time to pay your fair share....time to be patriotic.”
We’re 10% givers and I resent him else telling me I’m greedy and don’t want to help others. I have zero respect for him.
Same as last year. If this were Bush or Cheney or Palin giving this paltry amount, they’d be run out of town. Lead MSM story for weeks.
