May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Explanation of Right to Left Government and the Consequences

This is a good presentation of politics, the political spectrum (usually mischaracterized) and how it influences freedom and capital.

Liberal Compassion

Liberals are big on compassion. They say it's what motivates. Taking care of the masses.

In the name of compassion we have a lenient justice system. Thousands of rapists, pedophiles and murderers are let loose on our streets every year. Maurice Clemmons just the latest example. How compassionate is it to endanger and strike fear into ordinary citizens? Mike Huckabee BTW let out over a thousand thugs during his governorship. How compassionate is it that citizens don't feel safe on their own streets?

Liberals take about half of each working citizen's income in the form of fees and taxes. How compassionate is it to reduce working citizens' income (about half when said and done) so much they have to struggle to maintain their own lives?

Liberals lowered the deduction on charitable giving. How compassionate is it punish givers? How is it that this shows compassion to the receivers of charity?

Liberals have reduced education to indoctrination, so kids come out of school lacking knowledge and skills. How compassionate is it not prepare our children for life?

The war on poverty has cost trillions and destroyed millions of families. How is it compassionate making families fail?

I submit Liberals are putting a good name on evil behavior, and I pray enough citizens keep pushing back against Statists, knowing that families work, people keeping their earnings works, keeping bad people in jail works, that charity works.

Statism ( Beginning Now, I'll Be Using This Word Instead of Liberal or Liberalism)

Statism (or Etatism) is a term that may refer to any (or all) of the following:
Government having a major role in the direction of the economy, both through state-owned enterprises and indirectly through the central planning of overall economy.

The "concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government."

The Facist concept of statism which holds that "basic concept that sovereignty is vested not in the people but in the national state, and that all individuals and associations exist only to enhance the power, the prestige, and the well-being of the state. The fascist concept of statism repudiates individualism and exalts the nation as an organic body headed by the Supreme Leader and nurtured by unity, force, and discipline."

Liberalism

“Liberalism, as an experiment against common sense, undermines every institution it touches, including financial ones. In the age of political correctness, the conservatism of the banking industry was bound to give way to mindless multiculturalism and Great Society babble. Tried-and-true lending principles were deemed illiberal and imprudent loans became a form of ‘progress.’ Whatever the area that falls under it—whether it is banking or education—liberalism’s regulatory regime consists of forcing people to adopt ideological goals which defy rationality: banks are told not to insist on such outmoded tests as good credit; schools are told not to insist on good test scores for admission. High standards across the culture have eroded under liberalism. Why not in banking too? Indeed, given the choice between economic decline and political correctness, liberals always choose the former. To preserve the kangaroo rat, they will cut jobs. To advance faddish global warming theory, they will undercut whole industries. Instead of bemoaning economic decline, they normally interpret it as a measure of enlightenment: that some worthy ideological goal, far more important than money, is slowing business down.” —George Neumayr
