The Impact Of Immorality

The article says nothing even remotely like this. It is your interpretation of what the author was saying. Taken in context, exactly as written, it says that failing to accumulate wealth is immoral. You scream bloody murder when a judge "interprets" in this manner, but you think it's ok for you to. I'm pretty sure they have a word for that.



Yeah, I have money in the bank. So what? The size of someone's bank account is no measure of their morality. If you think so, you're as mental as Atkinson.

The article refers to dishonesty, and a being a slave to one's emotions. The socialist utopian LIE depends on people being slaves to their emotions and especially their envy.

I disagree. The language used, "demands of others", smacks of socialism.

How so? Since when is looking out for the needs of others and advocating such action evidence of support for government raping people who work hard and giving it to people who dont?

I think there is this myth on the left that the right is not compassionate and unwilling to give. Quite the opposite. We think compassion can be fully expressed on the individual level. We believe in being generous with our own money. What we don't believe is that we should be generous with someone elses money. We don't believe people who work hard should have their money stolen from them by the government making them bitter and then giving it to people who see it as a right that they deserve from the government making them ungrateful.

True charity comes when a person gives from the heart and a person acknowledges that gift, and i emphasize gift, showing gratitute and determined to do hard work to help others out in society as they have been helped. Being generous with other people's money is hardly being generous. And thats what socialism is. If you do that you have the attitude of Scrooge in a Christmas Carol before the visits when he refuses to give personally because he has already given through his taxes.

I think the conservative message is essentially dont be like scrooge:)
