Adults- decent ones at least, do look out for each other.
Conservatism has become one big argument for selfishness.
So you let your neighbor drive your car whenever he wants to? Do you pay his medical bills? Do you bring him chicken soup when he has a cold?
. . . . . . . .
I didn't think so.
Apparently you don't lift a finger to help your neighbors. You're all talk. but we already knew that.
Actually, I do all sorts of nice things for my neighbors... Probably to a fault. But that's not the argument we are having here, is it.
Sure ya do, Joe. I'll bet you bake them some toll house cookies every Christmas.
The thing is, you guys on the right don't want to live in Somalia. You want government to take care of your interests and protect your property and rights. You just don't want them looking out for the other guy.
Protecting my property is one of the few things that government is supposed to do. That's pretty much the only reason for having a government. As for "protecting my interests," than could mean virtually anything. "looking out for the other guy" is a liberal euphemism meaning to loot Richard Roe for the benefit of Joe Blow. You're right, I am against robbery, no matter who does it.
If you want to argue with me that the governmetn subsidizes too much bad behavior, I'd probably agree with you. Our priorities on social welfare programs are all wrong.
That's true. Even having welfare programs is all wrong.
But the thing about you guys is you really don't want these people being helped at all. It's the kind of mean-spiritedness that's infected the GOP like a disease.
If you were really interested in helping them, you could simply write them a check. There's absolutely no need for government to get involved. The reality is you don't give a fuck about the poor, you just want to loot the rich. That's all there is to liberalism.
