One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring. & People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes. & Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it. & The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive. & Liberals seem to assume that, if you dont believe in their particular political solutions, then you dont really care about the people that they claim to want to help. & The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites. & Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government. & In liberal logic, if life is unfair then the answer is to turn more tax money over to politicians, to spend in ways that will increase their chances of getting reelected. & The problem isnt even that Johnny cant think. The problem is that Johnny doesnt know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling. ~ THAT DUDE, Dr. Thomas Sowell. You Meathead! ~ THAT DUDE, Archie Bunker. unhyphenatedamerica.org
