Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.

you'll probably never need one again."
(My personal gun philosophy, though borrowed, not original... "I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.")
The definition of the word Conundrum is: something
that is puzzling or confusing.
Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United
States of America:
1. America is
capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of
the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They
think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their
representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have
things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have
things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other
countries.
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about
the direction of our current government and cultural environment:
1. We are
advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics,
but we
are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
2. Seems we
constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money,
but we
never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money!
3. Why are we
cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting
our
army to a level lower than before WWII, but we
are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.

you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are

These come by way of a fellow manager from our Florida facility. He will retire a year or two before I do. ;)
Whoa- good stuff. I do expect to be stealing some of those in the near future.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy... ;)
ReplyDeleteCan I steal this in its entirety?
ReplyDeleteYes, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteSage words, the FL manager seems to be an independent type. ;)
ReplyDeleteConundrum #7, if you'll permit it, is that people in other countries dream of having what the poor have, so these people are moved here and are given these things, and then try to change our country to the shithole they were moved from, but still demand more things.
That may not be the best phrasing, but I'm confident you'll understand the premise, Mr. Blue. ;)
Grog... Yeah, Ken is pretty independent. ;) And yes, I understand exactly what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Social Security is running out of money because those funds are now allocated to pay for welfare and food stamps.
ReplyDeleteChipmunk... That may have something to do with it... Redistribute that "wealth".
