DAILY PONDERMENT: I get dumber every day (I said it so you don’t have to). Everything is so confusing. Word for the day,,,,, CONUNDRUM. 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. Does that pretty well sum up the USA in the 21st Century? The three following short sentences seem to tell us 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 – funny how that works? 2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What is interesting is the first group worked for their money, but the second didn’t? Buying votes perhaps??? 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 and benefits to illegal aliens? What am I missing here? I don’t care which side of the fence you sit on ---- I’m not seeing anything coming from any political party to be proud of? Oh how I miss common sense.
