It's no mystery — Waffler is a communist stooge. 😒

Laughable! 🤣

And don't forget about MAID service!  (Medical Assistance In Dying)  More than 5% (and growing) of deaths in Canada are now attributed to MAID.  Beware calling the suicide hotline in Canada — they will transfer you to someone who can help.  People can get MAID service now for being poor or depressed — even teens!  Patients on long waiting lists are offered MAID now if they keep complaining of long waiting times.  It just goes to show, give an inch and they take a mile.  Remember that the left wants to reduce population by half as soon as possible, and the globalist government agencies are all on board — as long as Big Pharma can get a big cut in the process.  I do NOT want government health care!!

Indeed, the American Revolution was an expression of what John Adams called 'the American mind.'  We've come a long way, baby...

Waffler wouldn't know the principles upon which the US government was founded if they bit him on the a$$.

The only reason an income tax was introduced was to guarantee the interest of the public debt.  Prior to the central banking fiat money that replaced real money (gold and silver) there was no income tax, and America was the most prosperous nation on Earth. (Waffler worked for the IRS, by the way...)

Socialism has claimed more victims than any other ideology.  It has always resulted in the impoverishment of any nation that embraced it.  Canada, UK, Europe in general, Latin America, you name it, socialist promises never deliver except by a Ponzi scheme for which the bill always comes due — usually at the price of war and liberty.

Reagan's proposed line-item veto would have really made a difference.  Appropriations bills are so loaded with pork and corporate welfare that if the president would stick to their moral and civic duty, nothing would pass the veto.  Congress will not hesitate to hold the nation hostage if they don't get their way.  Reason #756 why we should not become dependent on special dispensations from government — whatever they can give, they can also take away.  An uneducated populace held in dependence is their greatest weapon.

Let's not forget during the Biden years, government aid was given to liberal orgs and neighborhoods, while anyone who showed support for Conservatives were skipped over.

Time and time again, it becomes self-evident that the federal government makes a poor patron.  Socialism, propped up by an unpayable debt used as funny money, completely corrupts the prosperity of a lawful, republican form of government. 

America was the most prosperous nation on Earth before socialist/communist ideology took hold. Private charity still trumps government subsidy. 

The entire premise is flawed — just because a storm floods a town does not mean the government should use the public treasury to fix it.  This is just more of the same blame-game, not taking responsibility, and placing 'compassion' upon the government to express.  WE the people are responsible for being charitable and compassionate, choosing to whom and when we may donate our time and money for causes that we hold dear.

As for healthcare, it is due to government meddling that the cost of insurance and medical care is so high.  It is because of the funny money system, that houses that were built for $20K in the 70's cost $750K today.  It is because of generational welfare systems that ghetto plantations surround every city.  And this is the ultimate goal of progressive liberalism — totalitarianism over a dependent and broken populace driven into poverty.

Stop taking the bait!  You progressive stooges are riveting the chains upon the necks of your neighbors claiming the moral high-ground paid for with the labor and fruits thereof from the common people.

Let us never forget Waffler admitted to working for the IRS until he retired on a comfortable government pension.  He also boasted of his Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia and public school education...

And we find ourselves today proving James Madison's warning as absolutely true.  Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Once again, Waffler manages to top himself. 🤣

There were no atheists among the Founding Fathers and members of the Constitutional Convention. There were many sects represented among them, but I don't recall an avowed atheist appearing until the progressive liberals (i.e. socialists) showed up.

The socialist religion of communal power (governed by a dictatorship) has been anathema to the foundation upon which the American republic was built. The laws of nature and of nature's God are not a religion, it is the basis of reality. It is the job of humankind to discover them and live in harmony with them for the good of all for their own sake.

The Truth is not a religion — it simply IS. Get with it, or live in delusion and inherit the wind.

'The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.'  Nothing is new under the sun.  If we do not pay attention to history, we are bound to repeat it.  The rulers absolutely know this and count on the ignorance of the populace in order to lord over them.  Once again, WAKE UP!

We should remember that all the money Congress spends goes to private contractors.  The government cannot own businesses, so all these welfare programs are disbursed via organizations that profit from the programs. Even though they call themselves non-profit orgs (because they don't actually produce anything), their salaries often exceed those in commercial businesses.

These recipients of government funding will also kick-back substantial amounts to political campaigns and/or employ spouses and family with little to no real responsibilities and/or make contracts with businesses in which they have a stake. 

Face it, all this unconstitutional spending results in wealthy congressman — this certainly looks like a racket to me.  And now, the level of fraud that has been discovered by the Trump admin is absolutely staggering.

As far as welfare specifically is concerned, it is nothing more than buying votes.  Welfare payments are kept just low enough to keep their dependents dependent forever in poverty.  It's like paying farmers to keep their lands fallow.  Statism's purpose is to indenture the people following tried-and-true tactics.  The solution is to return to the republican pillars upon which the USA was founded.

🤣 Better!

I was raised with several religious influences in my youth.  I particularly liked 'Christian Science.' A definition of science: Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organizes knowledge through testable explanations about the natural world and society.

Christian Science could be compared to a systematic discipline that builds and organizes knowledge through testimony of its practitioners about the metaphysical world and the Bible, particularly as demonstrated by Christ Jesus.  What physical science is to physics, Christian Science is to metaphysics, and the acknowledgement of Divine Intelligence behind the Creation.😁 

I like it!  Our 'natural rights' are inherent and a faculty of birth.  How can we come to know 'who we are' without the liberty to do so?

Yes, that is my experience, too.  This was my experience with going to church and school.  I would ask myself, "Does God want to hear the same old things over and over just being repeated without any individual spark?"  Can we not be 'real'? 

😎 Yeah, freedom and democracy actually don't mix... And that's one of government's best kept secrets!

Or like the leftist trick of accusing the other side of what they in fact are doing?

Yes, for the most part.  I agree with Mike.  A republican form of government is a government of laws, not of men.  The representatives have no more power than that of the common people that elected them, and specifically, no more power than what is enumerated in the Constitutions.

Excellent point, Mike!  Love it. 👏

This didn't happen overnight.  It has been a long haul since at least the 60's when the Ivy League schools that were founded as seminaries became hotspots for secular progressive liberalism.  Yale is but a shadow of its former self, and has become a bastion of Marxist thought.  

The politicization of college education is primarily fueled by government grants and guaranteed loans which have compounded the expense of education beyond any possible return in value to the students except for indoctrinating them with leftist ideals.

Another often overlooked fact, is that with a fiat money system enthroned by the FDR progressives, all the money in circulation is 'minted' by 'borrowing' it — i.e. credit/debt.  Student loans make up a considerable percentage of the money in circulation, along with mortgage debt, credit card debt, auto debt and good ol' government debt.  This has been another banker's trick to expanding the money supply without an equal backing of labor/capital in return, thus more inflation.

Ever-expanding unpayable debt is the master plan of the socialists/communists (it's a founding plank).  Which is also why not one college kid in a million knows anything about it!
