Government is not the solution to our problems…
There are so many Christians out there that think it is government’s responsibility to provide for the poor. Somehow this is seen as following Jesus’ teachings. Nothing could be further from the truth. As the old adage goes, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime.” Liberal policies create more dependents of the government and are only a band-aid solution to problems. Conservative policies provide long-term solutions to problems like poverty. What prompts me to write this is a quote from Rush Limbaugh today:
Conservatism is really the essence of compassion. It seeks the best for everybody; it has trust; it has confidence; it has faith in average people overcoming obstacles. Liberalism doesn’t. It doesn’t want people to learn how to do that. Democrats don’t want people to learn to do that. If you travel around and look at the differences in lifestyles in your community, all but a few rare examples, it’s not an accident that some people do very well and others do not. There are reasons for it and they can be tapped into by each and every one of us. Just depends on how much ambition people have. But when you have a major political party that for 50 years has been encouraging people to depend on it, the party, for all of these things, and when you somehow condition people to think that they are going to continue to get paid when they are no longer productive for a company, for crying out loud. I understand, as I said earlier, all these corporations make these union deals. But at some point the golden goose will be tapped out. At some point the money isn’t going to be there for it. Who in the world gets paid for doing nothing? Where is the thought process that says that it is even possible economically in perpetuity, forever? It is called a new deal, called social security. It is called this whole mind set. So what happens is that the companies make these deals and the pension plans and all the healthcare for all of these retirees who are no longer being productive, at some point, I don’t care, these companies that make these deals are in competition with other companies that don’t have these obligations, guess what’s going to happen? So then we get a question, “What is wrong with America?” The answer to what is wrong with America is liberalism.
I love Rush Limbaugh! Last I heard, the liberals were still trying to get rid of talk radio because liberals don’t do well on talk radio like the conservatives.
Many people on welfare will never get out of welfare because of liberal policies. Once a person gets on welfare, they have to keep qualifying for welfare to gain support. As long as they are provided for by welfare, they will try to keep their circumstances right to maintain that support.
