George Bernard Shaw once said, “When you run a government where you rob Peter to pay Paul, you will always get the support of Paul.”
This is what is wrong with our society. The liberals promise everything to those who will vote for them is really a form of social manipulation, for you are guaranteed that they will vote for them at the election booth. The thing is that this is not the American way.
The authentic American way is for us to each take control of our lives and better our existence as we see fit. Be it by education, building businesses, or just good old hard work, or a combination of all three, whatever we choose to do is born out of free will. I saw recently where a new housing project is being built to give those “less fortunate” people a home. It will still take at least three years and there will be room for about 450 families, yet over 15,000 people have filled out applications.
Question: How dark is your future when the best you can hope for is to live in a government-subsidized dwelling a few years in the future? Shouldn’t we have a greater vision of a brighter future than that? This is the problem with liberal thinking, it actually encourages failure and mediocrity. Yet we do not need to buy into the lie. Life can be better than that, and we become better when we start with ourselves. Yet as the Britney Spears song goes “Gimme gimme more, give me more.” Which is the mantra of the liberal movement. Once you give them something, they then want more, and when they don’t get it, then they demand it.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.

Letter: Smith’s firings appear vindictive
Anderson is a city of negative publicity and actions. Why else is Sears leaving? Can we stand four years of vindictive actions and negative reporting?
