We will get our way in 2012. Tax the rich, share the wealth, free the illegals and p-a-r-t-y!!!!!!

Conservatives want to make poor people rich instead of making rich people poor.

Liberals want to make rich people poor instead of making poor people rich.

Conservatives say: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Liberals say: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you lose a Democrat voter."

Some of the most important lessons our parents taught us were work hard to get ahead, there are no free hand outs and life’s not fair.

One of the most important speeches ever given by a political leader was given by John F. Kennedy: “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country."

All of the above are anti-socialist (i.e. anti-contemporary liberal/progressive) ideals. Today John F. Kennedy would literally be rejected from the Democrat party for just that one speech.

Socialism is supposed to level the playing field but it attempts to do so by knocking people down as opposed to lifting other people up.

The only thing that can level the playing field and maintain a truly free society is education, hard work and the avoidance of career ending choices in life both at and away from work.
