3. Liberal politicians dupe you into feeling really good about handing
over your hard-earned money so they can spend it for you. And the Republican party fits squarely into the liberal camp as
well, now. “Republican” or “Democrat” - these are just labels that
really don’t mean anything anymore. Conservative ideals say you learn
how to be personally responsible for yourself, and you make your own determination about who needs your help and for how long. Conservatives believe
in helping others because being generous is just the right thing to do,
but they also believe that helping people doesn’t always mean throwing
money and material goods at them. Conservatives believe that the best
way to help others is one on one. Liberalism says, cede control to the
State and we’ll make your decisions for you, whether it’s about who to
give to, or what you need from us. We’ll take care of you. Yeah,
they’ll take care of me alright. The constituents of liberals are often
either the recipients of this government munificence, or they’re the
ones who would rather not be face to face with anyone needing love and
care. Conservatives consistently give more money to charity and a
larger percentage of their income than liberals, who would rather just
make everyone else do it via taxation (which is a mirage anyway - how
much of our tax money actually goes to helping people and how much goes
to overhead?). If I hand $5 to the disabled vet asking for money, he
gets $5. If I give $5 to the government to “give” to the disabled vet, he gets $.50. (This is only an
estimate - it could be much worse than that.)

2. I’m so past the whole political party thing and have been for a while, but a friend of mine says that Republicans want to take our money to hurt people, and Democrats want to take our money to help people. And that’s just bizarre thinking. I’m not for Republicans or Democrats, because it’s too easy to stick a party label on yourself, and being part of a political party requires no adherence to any ideals or principles. Republicans unfortunately have become associated with conservatism, but they are NOT that. Democrats have somehow co-opted the label of compassion, but they are NOT that.
