Articles: The Ultimate Devastating Price of Government Dependency

Scott

American Thinker is a conservative rag. Tom Lifson who runs the rag is an IVY LEAGUE Harvard man. His first mate on the rag is Larry Anderson, a former conservative senator, and a STOCK TRADER.

These two individuals are the final say on what goes out to print.

Who's going to be surprised that right-swaying thinkers are thinking swaying right?? Reading this, I feel like I'm looking into a column in Guns & Ammo for intelligent intellectual debate on gun control laws. Or reading Playboy for "unbiased" debate of pornography laws. Like asking WC Fields what he thinks about the idea of prohibition.

The writer of this article is clearly bent on possessions and their meanings, on comparing people by terms of wealth, and even has the audacity to say that the fact that one of his cousins "made it" (I'm assuming he means that the cousin made a good enough amount of money to be considered a "success" in the $-$ glasses of the conservatives who wrote this, but who knows? maybe he meant the cousin made it because he became a man of god? or content with his life's work? (if so, why's it "remarkable" that he should make it?) ) despite being on welfare as a kid, is "remarkable."

Wow - WOW! - I was BLOWN back by this statement: "The Democratic Party enthusiastically embraces all who hate America. Plain and simple."

Really dude????? That's not even debate anymore - it's extremism, radical and close-minded. The only more extreme statement I can think of in this vein would be something like, "The Democrats are evil."

Where did the right develop this mindset that hardships allowed to befall others will "teach them lessons" like "nothing in life is free"? Yet when THEY suffer hardships (that they can't fix with an ivy-league handshake, a sped-through-congress bill, and taking the lunch money of the guy next to them) and their flagships, we "must have a bailout for the sake of the country's security!!" Know what I think? I think that, apart from people like our Harvard man here, who flipped opinions for a dime and a rolodex full of logrolling ivy buddies (and a skull ring, who knows?) .. I think most of them are just INGRACIOUS SUFFERERS. Their response to hard times is to attack the more vulnerable around them, and whether consciously or un-, they bend their logic (or allow it to be bent) to represent this plan.

This throws a wingy into who the occupiers will vote for?
