That’s Pretty Much It
Dr. Joy encapsulates the campaign:
This week we had Joe the Plumber in front of his modest home with an old rusty basketball hoop for his kids, burdened with tax debts but uplifted by his aspirations, and we had Sarah Palin stopping the campaign bus to get diapers at WalMart for her baby.
By way of contrast, we had Michelle Obama, a highly privileged Limo Liberal with millions in the bank and a $350,000/yr “administrative” job for some hospital or something, ordering lobster, Iranian caviar, and champagne for a snack from room service - and whining all the while about how mean and tough life is in America if you have two kids, as her husband preaches about taking from Joe to give to…whom?

Yup. The truth of the matter is that communist countries, those that preach wealth redistribution, are more unequal than our free democracy is. Look at the Soviet Union, East Germany, Venezula, Cuba, or China- all practice policies that Obama would like to put in place in the United States, and what happens is that you and I and Joe Plumber all get poorer, while Obama and Stalin and Castro all get richer. Obama doesn’t want to redistribute his wealth or his wives wealth- he wants to redistribute your wealth. Sad that we’re about to go communist and no one will vote against this guy.
I’m going to start clinging to guns and religion, one a little more strenuously than the other–I don’t like getting up early on Sundays.
Disgusting, the very people who would have us live smaller, buy less, and involuntarily share more with our neighbors live it up in every area. It reminds me of those annoying celebrity public service announcements that flog us with messages of recycling and taking fewer car trips while they themselves jet set everywhere and waste ridiculous amounts of money on consumer products.
Darren,
That’s why I go to a church that has a Sunday Evening service. That way I can cling all I want. My dad also taught me how to shoot a bow this weekend. It may come in handy if ammo gets hard to come by.
