- The question that has faced a slew of political pundits
across the years is, "What makes a liberal a liberal?" The question
can be difficult to answer because it can also be interchanged with the
question, "Why do these people want to destroy America?"
-
- With America came unprecedented freedom and the greatest
country on the planet, so why would anyone choose to denigrate freedom?
The answer is found in the essence of liberalism and socialism - bigger
government, more aid and social programs.
-
- The founders of our country were very careful in the
Constitution to bar democracy from invading our nation, but the Constitution
is nothing but a piece of paper to many elected officials. Moreover, many
have taken our country to be a democracy without a real thought - including
the president. Benjamin Franklin didn't call our nation a "republic"
for nothing.
-
- A democratic nation cannot stand; it will always fall,
because the minute the population sees that it can receive aid, money,
social programs - government handouts - it will elect new officials to
meet their greed, and government will always hand it out.
-
- What's this have to do with liberalism, you might ask?
Liberalism has everything to do with greed and that alone. Thus, liberals
capitalize on the unintended "democracy" part of America and
receive aid, money, benefits, etc. It comes down to one thing: When the
road of principles meets the road of greed, greed is always chosen.
-
- One example is the greed of government subsidies in the
private industry. Many take advantage of the government's willingness
to get involved in the private sector, but in doing so, they compromise
the future of capitalism.
-
- Liberalism also has shown its ugly head in attacks and
tragedies. Since the Oklahoma City bombing, for instance, the so-called
"conservative" senators in Oklahoma are pushing for millions
of dollars in victim handouts. Additionally, liberalism has made its way
to the World Trade Center issues - the government is handing out millions
of dollars to victims and victims' families of the attack on the WTC.
-
- And liberalism and socialism have made their way into
government through social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, welfare
and other such government programs. While the people are supposed to invest
their money wisely and make their own decisions to have a healthy retirement,
government has stepped in and attempted to take care of the nation.
-
- In terms of welfare, many of those on the welfare payroll
are able to go out and obtain employment, but laziness has replaced free-market
incentive. Furthermore, besides extreme greed replacing principles and
responsibility, ignorance and short-term thought replace rational decisions
and ideals.
-
- When socialism and liberalism infect government, no question
is brought up about whether the government has the right or resources to
carry out a socialist program. As a result, some might get the good end
of the deal and receive what they want, but in the long run, government
is made bigger and taxes are raised, resulting in a worse life for everyone.
-
- While the average liberal is different than the high-profile
liberal politician, the concepts are basically the same: bigger government
through handouts, social programs, aid and other forms of welfare. Still,
politicians hide behind doublespeak and carry out their agendas under the
guise of statements such as, "It's for the children," and "women's
choice," and carry out programs in the name of "minorities."
-
- Liberalism is a mixture of all-out greed, irresponsibility,
ignorance and irrational programs and decisions. Those warped foundations
have made their way to government and created a government that is a monster.
That monster has all but replaced the role the American people should
fill with charity, kindness, hard work and sacrifice.
