The other day on the Dennis Miller Show I heard Ken Blackwell of Ohio say this:
We’ve become a culture where earning money doesn’t entitle you to it, but wanting it does. That is the essence of redistribution.
Amen, brother!
(A CONSERVATIVE QUOTING A BLACK MAN?! O! HORROR OF HORRORS! That’s just not possible!!!!!!)
. . . it seems that in Obamaland, where the POTUS feels compelled to remind us of our “core” values . . . and how his policies are in sync with our moral values . . . the above statement goes hand in hand with the progressive perception du jour that the more a person is lacking, the greater is his or her “moral” claim on society!
I wish you well 🙂 Melek
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” – Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931
Ken Blackwell is a good man. I wish he had become the chairman of the RNC. Michael Steele has been a disappointment.
