Call me crazy, but I take freedom VERY SERIOUSLY....


With freedom... you do not just have the freedom to succeed, but also the freedom to fail... your choices, your decisions, your efforts, your ideas, your implementation; those are the things that determine your success or failure... and those are the things that SHOULD determine it... not someone else's efforts


EVERY citizen in this country has the same freedom to make their own way.... there is absolutely NOTHING stopping you or anyone else from becoming successful...

The system is broken, namely because of the thinking of liberals and socialists who think that someone else owes them something for simply existing.... that they need to have the ability to suckle off of the tit of success....

You are owed one thing by this country... and that is the preservation of the country as a whole, to ensure that those freedoms we have are protected.... you are not owed a share of someone else's efforts

As a reward, this asshole gets to have his bullshit stances and idiotic statements dismantled and continually destroyed with common sense, logic, and a healthy dose of support for personal responsibility and accountability. Feel free to join in.
