Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'd love for this person to come and live my life and tell me I'm wealthy.   :whatever:



Kind of my reaction. Not wealthy. Owned free and clear, like the older cars in the driveway, but not wealthy. And property taxes keep going up, cost of insurance and maintenance keep going up, and we're near retirement age. So when did we become "wealthy?"

And now some lardbutt who begrudges the fruits of our lifelong labors wants a piece of it rather than work for his own?  :censored:

I'm a slow learner sometimes. Here, after all these years of thinking I owned a bunch of stuff, it finally dawned on me; I've only been renting it from the government (property taxes).

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

I wonder if the DUmmies would be happy if their moms and dads charged them part of the property tax for living in the basement?

13. Many homes may have been handed down from previous generations ...
   


... and the current occupant may be unemployed and/or disabled. It wouldn't be right to impose an extra burden on them just because of who their ancestors were other than the usual property taxes. They may not even have enough resources to prepare a decent meal.



now... how does that idea square with the Liberal Party who desperately wants to pay reparations for slavery?  :popcorn:
