Voters guided by emotion and free shit...What happens if they become the majority?

[DOTR]

Isn’t the writing on the wall?
Are we sure we want more of this type of voter?
We know the Democrat Party sure does...don’t we?

Too late...

If you've ever read the history of this country, free sh!t played a huge role in that. See also the Homestead Act.

With the predictable result that many of those grants were snapped up by speculators to exploit when the original grantees were unable to "prove up". If the grantees had to pay for that land, they might have thought first and worked harder rather than lose their investment. So, we have a history of "free shit" giveaways not working.

We are a country that provided equal opportunity to all. We want a country guided by the founders. The "free stuff" was NEVER part of this country. If you knew your history you would know that the writers of the preamble didn't want an over reaching, over taxing, super powerful government.

It is you that are dividing this country, by demanding the government be what it was never intended to be. you want a European style.

A land of opportunities exists right now. It is the left that divides us into groups. Blacks vs white, rich vs poor etc. It is the left that says blacks can't make it on their own. It is the left that says the poor can't take advantage of their opportunity. It is the left that is constantly demanding that society change for them.

Just you don't go crazy on me, I know there are factions on the right that are extreme. White supremacists are a bane and need to be stomped out. They are horrible people and have no place among us. BUT they are a tiny minority and an outlier that in no way shape or form represents the majority of us conservatives.

The progressives are main stream. The progressive dividers are main stream media, Congress and local governments. They control the schools. They want the government to control everything. They want the government to provide everything. They want to turn this country from what it was designed to be into a European style of socialism.

We have to disagree.

• Nothing in the Preamble even suggests what you claim
• Apparently you are not watching and listening to Trump
  • Trump used EO's to by-pass the Congress
  • Trump's rhetoric is divisive, character assassination is his forte.
• School districts are elected locally, they are not controlled by a liberal or conservative agenda by bureaucrats in The District
• The ACA is not Socialism, private sector hospitals employ private sector physicians, private insurance companies continue to sell health insurance and medicare and medicaid pay private hospitals and private doctors.

Let's look shall we?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The preamble specifically states the Constitution is for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It is not for all people everywhere.

The Constitution is there to provide an establishment of Justice
Insure domestic tranquility
provide for the common defense
PROMOTE general welfare
secure the blessings of LIBERTY

There is nothing there that has anything to do with taking care of the rest of the world. All of it is meant for the United States.

It's the progressives that want to take away Liberty and instead of promoting general welfare they want the government to provide welfare. Taking away Liberty and freedom.

I want maximum freedom with maximum responsibility.

It seems you've not learned that Welfare, i.e. AFDC was replaced by TANF - please try to keep up and not echo other callous conservatives.

It's all the same thing. Let's not play word games. And if that's all you've got then I guess my point stands.

AFDC and TANF are the same? I suggest you look into Welfare Reform and how different they are.

It's all the same, it's giving out stuff. They may have differing functions, but it's the same principle of giving out stuff. Calling it welfare is just a term to refer to welfare type giveaways. It's much easier than having to type out every program or it's initials.
