Armstrong Williams and Some Interesting Quotes
October 1st 2008 13:35
Like many people, I was under the impression that feminism has been one of the most destructive forces in our society. But Armstrong Williams has set me straight on a thing or two. Original feminism wasn't as outright bad and nasty as the "feminism" of today. In fact the original feminists would be horrified and disgusted by what their ideas have been warped and twisted into. But that's what happens when an idea is high jacked by liberals.
Think about it folks. Racial equality was a great idea (and still is!) but after the liberals turned it into their "cause" we have a different form of racism that they are hanging onto with a death-grip. Welfare, the breakdown of black families, Ebonics instead of English, Affirmative Action, I could go on, but you get the idea.
I think the main problem is that the liberal view of "equality" and the conservative view of "equality" are completely different things. Conservatives want everyone to have equal opportunities to succeed, while realizing that not everyone is exactly alike. Success comes in different forms. Success for some people is making millions of dollars while for others it is being good at their job. Society needs people in all lines of work and incomes tend to depend on what line of work one goes into. Conservatives like to reward success.
The liberal philosophy, on the other hand, wants absolute "equality." I know it sounds nice, like many liberal ideas. But underneath the high sounding words lies the truth. Since not everyone is going to become a millionaire, the liberals want everyone to be equally poor. Financial success is punished by high taxes which are redistributed to those who aren't financially successful (and aren't likely to be). Their "fair share" of someone else's money is just enough for minimal survival. Semantics plays a big role in liberalism, too. For example illegal aliens are financially supported by using the new term "undocumented Americans." And then they're given their "fair share" of other people's money, too.
The differences are quite clear. One party wants to encourage and reward success and the other only celebrates and rewards failure. My conclusion is that no good idea is safe in the hands of liberals. What's yours?

That's the way our country is, we all have different needs, but one can't not be treated better than the other, and we cannot take from one and give to another, but we can teach them to get it for themselves.
That only applies to Citizens of the United States of American. We don't need to be calling illegal aliens undocumented Americans, they are not Americans, they are illegals, and the last time I checked that meant breaking the law, but if Jim reads this, and I am wrong he will set me straight.
