“It’s harder to be a liberal than a conservative, because it’s easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand.” Dead and gone Chicago columnist Mike Royko
Well done video with good coverage of all the basic issues inherent in the Republican Party. The gist of which is that helping people is just flat out wrong, and against everything they stand for.
I am sure you have all heard the same story Wally tells here from your Republican friends and family, especially if they live in those vast areas of pig manure and varmints. That poor people need to be made more miserable than they already are. After all, they are ALL scamming the system, eating lobster, talking on their iPhones, going home to watch Al Sharpton on their color TVs and cooking their steak in their microwave. And their hovels are just not hovelly enough. They even have hot water and heat which is just unacceptable in this exceptional nation of ours.
I am sure you, as I, have heard endless variations of all that not just from your Tea Party friends, but from Republican lites, Independents and moderate friends as well. Their tax money is all going to support lazy criminals scamming the system. No matter fraud in such matters is shown over and over again to be less than 5%. I noticed that if you say that, they roll their eyes and laugh and laugh like you are nuts. It is the overriding political dynamic of American Politics, and if you don’t know WHO they believe are scamming that fraud on the rest of us, you are in denial.
The question to ask them is that if 20 children are going hungry and you give them a free lunch at school, and one of them is a fat kid just wanting an extra meal, do you stop feeding the 19 hungry kids? You see? They must pretend that it is ALL a scam or the logic or their selfish callous crap doesn’t fly outside their conservative bubble.
Here is Republican politics wrapped up short and sweet by Tea Party founder and CEO of FreedomWorks Matt Kibbe.
“Why should I have to pay to support people I don’t know?”
Who do you think Matt Kibbe doesn’t know the most?
And the answer to Mr Kibbe’s question is… Because that is not only what defines CIVILIZATION, but Christianity as well.
