LEGISLATING WEALTH

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

This quote is from one of my favorite spiritual leaders, the late Dr. Adrian Rogers.

Now whether you are a believer, non-believer, agnostic or atheist, that statement is true. You may denigrate its speaker if you are so inclined, but you will only be demonstrating your ignorance beyond a shadow of a doubt.

That statement defines the difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals believe you CAN legislate the poor into freedom if you can just get enough wealthy people to give up (or have confiscated) part of their wealth (Think 1%ers). Liberals believe that people who do not work should be sustained, regardless of the reason for their not working, and if they have some kind of addiction or social aberration, so much the better. They also believe that if you just spread the wealth everybody will be happy, quite apart from any incentive to be productive. And now it seems they believe that there is a heretofore unknown right to have any illness treated and paid for by the rest of the citizenry.

They believe that economy is a zero sum “game,” and that there is a finite amount of money available. They do not get the relationship between productivity and the increase in the overall wealth of the people.

They are running headstrong into the direction of taking The United States of America down and turning it into the same governmental chaos that prevails in most of the rest of the world.

Thanks, libs.

SUNDAY RESPITE-God On the Mountain-Lynda Randle

QUESTIONS FOR TODAY

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) performed in the following important areas?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) been truthful? Is his “If you like your plan you can keep your plan” an example of his idea of truthfulness? Was it when he said it?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done with the expansion of the massive Welfare State in the U.S.? How big should the Welfare State be allowed to become?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done enforcing immigration laws? Has he followed those laws as well as he has followed the ObamaCare law?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done controlling deficit spending? Has deficit spending increased proportionately with its expansion under former presidents or has it expanded more than all of the others put together?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done exploiting the Zimmerman trial, the Gosnell murders and other instances on which he has commented or failed to comment?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done giving millions of dollars to the abortion industry, both under the guise of welfare and of health care? Has he taken actions in his lives as a community organizer, senator or president to abate infanticide in this country?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done with his support of so-called “green energy?” How well have the companies he has supported with tax payer money done? Have those “investments” paid off or failed?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) handled the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious scandal?  Did he know about it, or was he kept in the dark? If he was kept in the dark, why haven’t those who kept him in the dark been summarily dismissed? If he know about it, why didn’t he stop it?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done with arming terrorists overseas? Has he taken steps to be certain that those who would (by their own admission) destroy the U.S. would never be able to do so?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) dealt with the issue of spying on journalists? Has he ensured that we will continue to have a free press, or has he tried to suppress it?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done with religious liberty in our country? Has he fought to preserve it or has he looked the other way when it was usurped?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) handled the IRS targeting of certain groups? After saying he wanted to get to the bottom of the issue, did he do anything about it? Does his administration continue to defend it, or to deny it ever happened?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) dealt with the truth about Benghazi? After he told us he would find the responsible parties and bring them to justice, has he found anyone? Has he tried anyone?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) been truthful about the recent “government shutdown?” After Republicans tried to pass several bills that would fund the government, did he then pretend that Republicans were responsible for the shutdown, or did he admit that he allowed it to happen because ObamaCare was much more important to him than a government shutdown?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) done with his handling of the shutdown? Did he close any facilities or memorials that were largely funded by private enterprise and not the government? Did he spend tax payer dollars to block off and guard open air monuments when it would have been better to just let them be? Did he try to stop WW2 veterans from visiting their own, privately funded WW2 memorial?

How well has President BO (the man who would be king) understood that places like the Lincoln Memorial have NEVER been shut down because of a government shutdown in the history of this country? Did he deliberately break with that practice, or did he just not know it existed?

So, in the end, how well has President BO (the man who would be king) done in his tenure? Are these just irrelevant questions or do they point to a basic short-coming of his ability to preside over, protect and defend our Constitution? Did his oath to do so carry as much truth as his ObamaCare promises?

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Consider yourself warned.

After a recent wave of identify thefts, the FBI estimates there are over 500 fake Obama Care websites set up for the sole purpose of stealing your personal information. 

So protect yourself and remember; the real one is the only one that doesn't work.
