great post. this is what conservative politicians need to learn how to articulate. One thing not mentioned is that liberal entitlement programs also come at the cost of the dignity of the recipients, thus ensuring long term dependence on those programs. We all know the basic concepts to be true in the animal world. The way that liberals get around this is to deny that the laws of nature apply to humans. Go anywhere where bears live and you will see signs saying to not feed the bears. It isn't for our safety, it is for the very survival of the bears. If they become dependent on humans for food, they lose their ability to survive naturally in the wilderness. It's also why we don't release domesticated or even animals that have been heavily influenced by humans into the wilderness. A lion that grows up in a zoo would be torn apart by wild lions. When looking for motive, you can look at the way liberals pat themselves on the back whenever they mention who compassionate they are toward the needed. They don't care about the recipients of their charity, they care that they can claim to be superior through their good intentions. William Faulkner illustrated this beautifully in the book "Light in August" with the Joanna Burden character. In the book, she associates with, has relations with and supports various black men. At first she appears to be operating from a moral high ground, but if you examine her motives, what she does, she does out of pity. There is no greater insult to any person than to pity them. There is no greater way to rob someone of their dignity than to enact policies that institutionalize that pity and make people dependent on others for their survival. Liberals have turned minorities into their "dancing bears".
