That there is the biggest difference between the conservative and liberal philosophies. Conservatives believe that direct, local help is much more effective than the nameless, faceless bureaucrats.

It comes down to this...Why, after almost 50 years and countless billions of dollars, has the War on Poverty been a total failure?


Assuming that it's goal was to end poverty or at least minimize it, then it is a failure.  However, if it's goal was to create a permanent bloc that votes for the DemRats, then it is a huge success.

Democrats are far more interested in their War on Wealth.

Longer boats. Maybe I not getting it? Whats the analogy? I know a night of long knives, but never heard about "longer boats." Vikings sailed in long boats. Are longer boats...worse?

Its there some cultural meaning to this that I'm just missing?
I was wondering the same thing, thought maybe it was a reference to slave ships but who knows.

I thought it was a 'Jaws' reference, but I only read the headline.

TC, H5.

I have a story that happened to me once.  One day, I was going up I-87 and I saw two teenagers with a sign that indicated that they were hungry and needed a ride to get somewhere.  God was speaking to me, as I pulled off at the next exit and went to a McDonald's.  I got two sets of food (hamburgers, fries, Cokes) and headed back down the Northway.  I found them and picked them up, giving them the food.  They ate quickly and told me that all they really wanted was to be taken to a church off one of the exits here in CP--they knew that they could get more help there.  I left them in the care of that church.  Never mentioned that to anyone.  I figure that God sees what is done in secret . . .

Every time I try to give food to some one asking for help they tell me they want money!  I'm giving them my lunch out of my lunchbox! I don't have money I tell them but I have a home to go to so they can have my lunch. I know they just want a bottle.
  One time on Christmas day I was working and entered the basement of an apartment building and found this homeless guy that was sitting there. He had some candles lit and a little table set up with an old ham bone and some stale bread he got out the dumpster he told me. I gave him $40 all I had in my wallet and told him to go get a real meal. I'm sure he went and got a weeks supply of cheap hooch. I try!

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

True charity is done without fanfare, without media, and without spotlights.  No accolades are given, nor expected.

My wife and I call the local homeless shelter several times a year, asking them what they are in the most need of, usually cleaning and personal hygiene products.  We'll load the back of our Jeep with several hundred dollars of products, along with canned foods and sometimes something she has made (she gave a man who couldn't speak a quilt she had made.  His eyes light up every time he sees us, as he holds up the quilt and smiles).

We don't call the local paper or radio station to make a public plea about the plight of the homeless.  We don't petition the government for some "program" for the latest cause de jour.  We "JUST DO IT!"

Yeahhhhh. What we have here is another pointless primitive wrangling verses from a druggie in a vain attempt to look all cool. Fail.
I think the song is about missionaries when they first landed on the Hawaiian islands trying to convert the natives at the same time they were apparently taking advantage of the young native girls. Just Cat Stevens bashing religion before he became a member of "The Religion Of Peace" ::)

Liberals are always generous with others money to fund a union company to provide charity to the poor. About 28 cents of every dollar goes to the poor.

IIRC Sheriff VP Biden gave all of $200 in his 2009 taxes.  The Clintons tried to write off USED underwear they gave to Goodwill.  Liberals lie, they lie all the time. particularly about their charity to the less fortunate.


That really chafes my ass.

We are not rich. We're not poor, but money is tight around here these days, especially with a baby on the way. We still manage to give money to our parish, donate clothes and food, and money to other charities-more than a paltry $200 a year. How much money does he have? And he's supposedly a member of the party that is for helping the poor and downtrodden? Really?

Joe Biden ought to be ASHAMED. He disgusts me.  :censored:

Horseshit.

It is a well documented fact that conservatives have always been more charitable than "progressives".
I could cite innumerable examples to back this up and of course the left would balk at those as being biased so I offer an example from their own camp, penned by a progressive academic-

This is because Democrats think it's the government's job to take care of people. They think a Democrat politician forcefully taking money from a citizen to dole out to another citizen is somehow charity. Case in point, how many people have helped the Homeless Bobblehead? Sure, they all TALK about it, but not one of those f'ers has lifted a finger to help it.

But, OTOH, what has happened to those DUers who have offered to help the worthless Bobbolink?

Longer boats are coming to get us...

...hold on to the shore.

It is sad that people hate each other. Some people say they don't "hate" anyone, they just hate their ideas and their policies. And they don't care too much for their shoes and haircut either...

I really and truly do my best not to hate the Republicans but it has become more and more difficult not to digress to those primitive emotions.

Do you know what I mean??

They lie. They all lie. But their lies do more damage to those that are sometimes the neediest than do Democratic Party lies. Repubs would take the nickels off a dead man's eye. They have no sympathy for their fellow man. They have not evolved to a full human yet - at least, in mental capacity.

So we wait for the longer boats...
 

You betta run, whitey!!!
