Sorry Zimmer but with Turtle its all a matter of looking out for Number One, particularly the money of Number One.
That is how it should be. Nobody else is going to look out for you or your family's concerns more than YOU.
Your life and your family is your responsibility... not mine... though
I may elect to assist those in need.
When you satisfy those needs, then you can look to assisting others, and Americans do this like no other. Government is trying to destroy that... and we know why.
The rest of it - the ideology, the philosophy, the political underpinnings - its all just lipstick on a pig. An ideology of selfishness is nothing new - but if you look at the posts of Turtle it all comes down top a few basic things
"the ideology, the philosophy, the political underpinnings"... What a sad and laughable load of dung.
Taking care of yourself and your family isn't selfish... it's personal responsibility. What is selfish, actually sick... is looking to the government to act as your thief.
1- I am rich and that makes me a superior individual
Pure stupidity, but that's the value of free speech. It identifies the bright and the ridiculous. Wealth doesn't make a person superior... only wealthy. He has, or sould have the same rights under God, and the same numbers of votes... One.
2- the Republicans will help protect my riches
No. They will protect my property and liberties. Nice for you to reveal Dems don't believe this.
3- the Democrats threaten my riches
Dems threaten my freedom, liberty, and feel they are free to the fruit of my labor to spread that wealth around to their constituent groups to buy votes as they see fit. THEY THREATEN THE WEALTH OF ALL. Just look at what Freddie/Fannie and their forcing banks to make bad loans has done? Rocked the foundations of our economy with their idiocy.
4- the unwashed masses threaten my riches by voting Democratic
Oh my... where did you learn this BS? "Unwashed masses"? ROTFLOL...
5- lets disenfranchise tens of millions of Dems so the Republicans can hold power forever and protect my riches
Dems held Congress pretty much for 40-years, and regained power by running a bunch of supposed Blue Dawgs... then we got the Cult Election of 2008. Power will switch hands... that's the nature of the beast, but how about Dems running honestly about who they are and what they want to do?
They cannot run honestly, because they would get their asses kicked. People learned what the hollow vessel of Hope & Change meant... and look what happened 6 weeks ago?
all the rest is just extra layers designed to make this pure selfishness look like it has some substance other than greed.
Liberty and private property... a judicial system that protects all the foundation of a sound society and economy. The Founders understood this well.
Democrats like you don't. You're ignorant fools that have been fed a load of BS... and you actually have taken it to heart and believe it!
I did at one time too. Then I grew up.
