Rep vs. Dem Differences

generally promote greater freedom

Unless that freedom happens to involve saying that abortion is murder,
women are often happier as housewives, or that most poor people are
lazy and won't work...

....leftists are the most close-minded people I've ever met. Very, very
few can discuss "hot button" issues rationally. In fact, I've never met
a true leftist who was able to logically and reasonably defend his
position.

....I think that G. W. B. has made some VERY serious errors during his
first term. John Kerry, however, has a long history of not changing his
position. He's been an advocate of increasing Johnson's "Great Society"
from every avenue. He's been a class warfare hypocrit from before his
Vietnam Service.

I read some statistics yesterday that made my skin crawl: Most poor
households in this country have:
air conditioning,
hot & cold running water,
eat more meat (per capita) than the US RDA (and considerably more
than MIDDLE CLASS Europeans!),
have 1.5 cars,
1.5 color TVs
and own a VCR or DVD player.

Most poor households are single parent with an absentee father. Most
poor households work less than 15 hours per month.

Our "poor" live better than the middle class in Europe and considerably
better than Asia. We won't even talk about Africa!

The "Great Society" hasn't worked, instead of decreasing, the
percentage of "poor" has increased. By paying people to stay in
poverty, the bureacracies continue to justify their own existence.

Only by making poverty "undesirable" will we be able to motivate our
so-called "underclass" to better themselves and rise up out of the
station to which they were born. The GREAT NEWS is that here in the
U.S. we have the ability to do that! We're not bound by society to stay
among the lowly and despised! We can educate ourselves and rise up
beyond the reach of our fathers!

Hallelujah!

Flying A Mortgage...
....is descended from poor, black watermen in DelMarVa's eastern shore.
He thanks God that his ancestors were born in this great country where
they were able to steadily improve their lot in life until now he gets
to CHOOSE to pay off his mortgage early instead of buying a Skyhawk!
