Liberals like GOVERNMENTAL "solutions" to perceived problems. Selleck says right out he likes INDIVIDUALISTIC SOLUTIONS, which in the long run, actually WORK. Try tarring someone else with that brush... Never forgetting, of course, that your brand of "conservatism" ALSO prefers governmental "solutions" to perceived problems.

Here, just for you is my post from yesterday:

Government

The BIG LIE

The first time that some friend tells you to try government as a solution to a problem, it sounds like a good idea. Maybe it will get your neighbor to act the way you want him to. Maybe it will get you an education or some health care.

It sneaks up on you, a little at a time, at first. You think one little government program won't hurt. Government helps you and you don't have to pay for the help. A pretty good deal.

But one day it dawns on you: you're HOOKED. Whatever problem you face, from your not earning as much money as you'd like to the unaesthetic design of your neighbor's house to your city's inability to attract an NFL franchise, you turn to government for "help."

You're SWAMPED in government programs and you've lost control of your life. You've become a government addict.

It's hard to kick the habit. Being responsible for your OWN actions is not always convenient. You'll have to make decisions for yourself. Sometimes they are going to be WRONG. Yet being free to choose -- rightly or wrongly -- and to learn from your mistakes -- is what being human is all about.

Once you've come clean, once you've broken the habit of turning to government for an answer, you realize that government is the PROBLEM, NOT the solution.

Government is a LIE. It promises prosperity and a better standard of living. But it ends up taking from you, controlling you, dragging you down into a seedy underworld of bureaucracy, red tape and corruption.

Think for yourself. Break free of government. It's just a BIG LIE!!!
