It’s Really Theft

During my many years as a Democrat, I was on the proud side. As a child care teacher, I was able to pay unsubsidized rent for a decent apartment right outside the city of Philadelphia. I had the blessing to work for a well-known church organization that offered above average pay and benefits. When I received unsolicited mailed information on qualifying for government subsidized rent assistance, I ignored it. Even though the rent subsidy would be a great help, I was too proud to go for it. But, I still thought people of lesser economical means had a right to at least a little instant government i.e. taxpayer help if they so desired.

Through my Christian, but politically liberal upbringing, I really thought those who financially made the most should not mind the government taking more of their money to aid those less fortunate. Yes, I believed in the redistribution of wealth as a means to help raise up those less fortunate and that was wrong. It’s  okay for anyone wealthy or otherwise voluntarily give their money to help others, but for the government to take more and more money from the wealthy  for the sake of fairness is thievery.

Not Earth Day

The second part of this video angered me the most. I say no to Earth Day over Christmas!

Senate Elect Tim Scott

Congratulations, Senate Elect Tim Scott! I am glad to see this appointment by South Carolina Gov Nikki Haley to replace Sen. Jim Demint. Now it is no surprise that the so-called tolerant left, especially so-called tolerant black Democrats and so-called tolerant black Independents started coming out of the woodwork to denounce and insult this senatorial appointment. They are still caught up in group black think, which does not allow for any black person to be a Republican.

Because of the Republican losses this past Nov 6th, Rep. Scott’s appointment to replace the outgoing Jim Demint is raising up my GOP spirits. When Sen. Demint announced he was leaving the Senate, the one and only name people gave to replace him on the Republican/Conservative Facebook pages was Tim Scott. In the video there are a few speakers, but for me, Tim Scott is the focus. I like this Republican conservative.

Pro Republican Conservative Reasons

The following is from the Facebook page of AfroCity Brown. I like this and regardless of the Democratic victories on Nov 6, I am very proud to be a Republican Conservative.

TWELVE REASONS TO BE A REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE

1. Taxation should only occur when necessary to provide for the common defense, civilian police agencies, firefighting organizations, roadways, railways and other essential aspects of our nation’s infrastructure. If we are to have income taxes, everyone but the destitute should pay a proportional amount of those taxes (the same percentage of taxes regardless of their income), and those who pay no income taxes should be thankful to those who do.

2. Our nation was founded upon the principle of God-given rights, regardless of the conflicting opinion of a small minority of American citizens who do not believe in the concept of a higher power. After all, not every American believes in the viability of the capitalist system either, but our system is still based upon capitalism no matter what some people choose to believe.3. The preservation of innocent human lives is of paramount importance to all moral people, and those who wish to gratuitously destroy a fetus in the womb have an obligation to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that an unborn child is not a human life, worthy of the same legal protections that all other individuals enjoy, before committing abortion.

4. Free market principles should be applied to public education, health care and a host of other systems, which have of late been thrust into the socialistic downward spiral of governmental intervention and over-regulation.

5. We, the people, have an expectation of public accountability and private responsibility. With every individual right claimed, there is an equally important responsibility attached to it, and for every ounce of power claimed by some people over everyone else, there should be a pound of accountability awaiting those claimants at the end of the day.

6. People who wish to immigrate to our country need to do so legally. They should be willing to learn our language, respect our culture and obey our laws once they’re here. Those who refuse to do so should be deported immediately.

7. Our federal government should have autonomy in determining what is in the best interest of our country internationally, as opposed to relying on organizations such as the United Nations to make our decisions for us.

8. You can’t bargain with bullies, tyrants or terrorists, and to even try is not only naive but potentially suicidal. Sometimes violence is the only means by which one can defend one’s liberties. Those who refuse to resort to violent acts under any circumstances are destined for slavery.

9. Affirmative action is racism, no different than those forms of racism practiced by the Nazis of W.W.II Germany or former President Charles Taylor’s regime in modern-day Liberia.

10. People are not basically good, nor are they basically bad. They’re both, that’s why a moral code is necessary to the sustainability of a free society.

11. All human beings crave liberty and felicity, and to deny even one person who chooses to live a virtuous life the opportunity to pursue happiness and experience individual freedom, is a crime against humanity.

12. Governmental control over our lives should be limited to those few trammels which are absolutely necessary to the survival of an otherwise free nation. In the words of Thomas Paine, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”

Reasons for Voting Democratic

This is good, but I heard other comments as to why people voted Democratic. One for example among black folks is, “If Romney won, he would put us back in slavery.” Now that comes across ridiculous to me, but lot of folks in my family/friend circle really believed that about Mitt Romney. Romney’s 47% comment really did him in. His campaign managers did not do enough damage control on that one.

As far as #7 goes, I use to be a part of the Christian crowd that votes the Democratic Party while ignoring their official stand on being nothing wrong with abortion i.e. destroying an unborn baby. Being spiritually convicted on abortion is a big part of the reason as to why I now have a hard time voting that political party. It shames me that I was even okay with abortion for a time. I wonder how Christian Democrats can vote for Barack Obama who supports the killing of a baby that survives a late-term abortion! I wonder why they do not mind their tax money going to financial support of abortion!

From my experiences through Facebook interactions, reading columns and listening to voters on radio, TV, some family and friends, #9 is a pretty popular reason why Barack Obama and Democrat candidates received their votes. How often did I hear that this country was center-right? Well, according to the Nov 6 election victories, that definitely is no longer true. Too many people really think they have a right to the money of someone who is more financially successful. Too many people feel entitled to services they can’t afford on their own and have no problem with increased taxpayer support. The left side has really grown. Those of us who know better, should be very concerned, because these people are helping socialism to take a much stronger hold of this country.
