With amazement and shock I read that some misguided person is suggesting that Clinton should be back in office. If Clinton, who had multiple sexual encounters with an intern in the Oval office, was nearly removed from office, was apparently involved in multiple shady dealings, and probably many other shameful things, is the standard by which performance is judged then we are in more difficulty than I had imagined. We are fortunate to have a President who has integrity and acts forcefully in difficult situations. He demonstrated that after the 9-11 event and his approval ratings soared.
Now the whining liberals have finally come out from under their rocks. They have lost two elections to the better candidate and they still cannot accept that.
They continue to be aided and abetted by the media which is totally incapable of factual reporting. Inventing news and sensationalism to sell media time is how that business is run. Those who rely on the media for their information and allow their opinions to be formed by the media are being misled in ways that the propaganda from the past had never succeeded.
This country was founded and developed by people who were self reliant and hard working. They made sacrifices and took risks to create the nation we now enjoy. Each of us has a responsibility to take care of ourselves just as they did. Cooperation and helping those unable to care for themselves is also a part of our nation. Unfortunately the liberals in this country have used the efforts and the structure that hard work has established to create a welfare state in which a large segment of the population has become dependent rather than independent. A person's
situation is created by a choice or choices they make throughout their life. Foregoing the opportunity for an education, development of skills, or an unwillingness to make the sacrifice needed to do better are some of those choices. Many people who are now considered well off, or wealthy, or rich got there by making choices such as education, hard work, and saving their hard earned money.
The liberals continue to seek ways to deprive, those people who have been successful, of their just gains. They seek to create a welfare state in which those who have not been responsible for themselves can have access to the same life style as the people who worked to achieve it. We now have a large segment of the population that has become totally dependent on those who have achieved something in their lives. They want free housing, free health care, and the list goes on. When any unfortunate incident happens these dependent people expect instant response from the government and society in general to take care of them. What happened to the self reliance and hard work that built this country? The answer is apparent it has been overwhelmed by a desire to create a welfare state!!!
If you want to see where that leads just look at the countries in Europe - mired in socialism, flagging economies, large segments of the population on welfare, high unemployment and the list goes on. People find it easier to take a welfare check rather than work. That type of social structure is doomed to fail.
So like.....what are you, some kind of Republican or somethin'? ;):rolleyes: :p
