Cruel to Be Kind

The riverbank analogy is the real take home point, elegantly packaged.

I get so incensed at the slovenly thinking of the author’s examples of liberal dogma it takes me a few minutes to appreciate the more analytical aspects of yet another spot on article.

The children in the river analogy really hits the mark.

[Clutch Martin]

Loosen up the adoption process protocols and the costs associated, and the governmental overbearing association towards placing children in families fuels the stigma of being merely a baby sitter for 18 years. Adoption is a for profit racket and therefore fails in the very “mission” it claims to represent.

Government interference and overt complication by design, makes abortion the “better” and easier option. Shameful.

CHOICE kills future American Citizens!

What happens when you pay people to have children out of wedlock? Hint: The answer is that people have children out of wedlock. That’s pretty obvious.

Whatever you subsidize; you get more of.

[Kaslin]

Do you expect anything different from a liberal?

[Kaslin]

He sure is.

[Kaslin]

Explain please why you believe her arguments are dead on.

[Kaslin]

She did exactly that.

Perhaps her mother should have aborted her.

[freedumb2003]

Sorry.

I meant the AUTHOR was dead on, not the idiot he cited when he began the article. I was conflating Mike Adams in my too-early-in-the-AM brain with another similar article I read on a different board.

Pronoun trouble, as Daffy Duck once said.

I think we are in alignment now.

[Taxman]

As always, a most relevant and well-written article.

The “Call to Arms” is for us Real Americans to “walk upstream with our shotgun to find out who. . . .” has set about to destroy our FRee Republic, and end their reign of terror!

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yeah. Dead on arrival.

[freedumb2003]

I screwed up! I admit it! I meant HIM (the author) not HER (the idiot he was referencing).

Jeeze, post in haste, repent in leisure, clarify for eternity.

[upchuck]

Thanks for the ping Kaslin.

From Mike's excellent article:

... compassion is when we jump into a river in order to save drowning children. In contrast, justice is when we take a walk upstream with our shotgun to find out who keeps throwing our children in the river.

Stunningly cogent. Outstanding.

[Mrs. Don-o]

S'Awright!

[a fool in paradise]

No

Cruel to Be Kind

Oh I can’t take another heartache
Though you say you’re my friend, I’m at my wit’s end
You say your love is bonafide, but that don’t coincide
With the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice, you say
You’ve gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it’s a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you baby
(You’ve gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I want to know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down again and again
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You’ve gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it’s a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you baby

Makes sense it would be from Texas:

A friend from Texas once explained to me the true meaning of compassion. In the process, he also explained the difference between compassion and justice. He said that compassion is when we jump into a river in order to save drowning children. In contrast, justice is when we take a walk upstream with our shotgun to find out who keeps throwing our children in the river.
