Food for thought!
My son told me a story today about a sandwich. He said that the way liberal’s think can be represented by someone who is eating a sandwich. As they are eating, a hungry homeless person approaches and asks for half the sandwich. The individual eating the sandwich gives half of it to the homeless man. This gesture provides food for the hungry, gratefulness for the food, and a sense of caring by the person giving up half the sandwich. Liberals believe that they should hold a gun to the head of the person eating the sandwich in order to force the individual to give up half (if not more) of the sandwich to the homeless person. Such idiocy provides food for the hungry, but no gratefulness on the part of the homeless person, and certainly not a sense of caring by the person providing the food. Instead what it provides is anger and resentment by the person providing food, and a sense of entitlement by the person receiving the sandwich. The feelings generated are negative in aspect, not positive. Negative actions produce negative results and both the hungry and the sandwich eater are negatively impacted. Perhaps liberals need to think about resulting consequences when considering taking from one individual or segment of society to give to another. No matter how well-meaning they are, negativity will be the end result.
