The stark difference between Democrats and Conservatives

Last night, the Laconia (NH) Democrats got together to figure out how to spend YOUR money faster.  From the Laconia Daily Sun:

Sidenote: you know, I REALLY wish they’d alter the format of their PDF representation of their paper (I’ve asked several times) so that I could do "copy / paste" again.  Do that, and I’ll start linking again (but not until).

Laconia Attorney David Osman, who said, "In this worst of times, it is not the best of times for us to be cutting back on public services that many people desperately need.l  On the contrary, this is the best of times to be creating state revenue streams that will be adequate to meet those demands."

And that is the stark difference:  Liberals have no problem spending other peoples’ money to fix what they think is wrong.  They have no problem in believing that Big Government has the ability to spend as much as needed to fix those problems.  Big Government HAS to have its money!

What they will only concede under the most desperate conditions is that the money spent by their policies has to come from someone (not somewhere, not from something, someone).  In their headlong rush to fix everyone (they have yet to learn that you cannot save everyone), they ignore that in trying to help some, they hurt everyone else.  And some of those people, by taking the little they may have left, get pushed over the financial edge by these Liberals’ greedy ways.

Yes, GREEDY ways!  They accuse Conservatives like me of being greedy and selfish, yet they cannot seem to recognize the same problem in themselves.  

Greedy – what they take from others in the form of taxes is NEVER enough – they always want evermore "revenue streams" for evermore programs.  Doesn’t matter that the programs may miss their intended goals and nor does it matter that a lot of the people that end up with someone else’s money are actually GAMING the system.  They equate spending with helping, equate government programs with individual charity.  And make no mistake, the urge to take other peoples’ property for their own purposes is GREED!

And look at the hypocrisy – while admitting that lots of people are in economic worry zones, this guy decides that his need for their money ("…this is the best of times to be creating state revenue streams …") trumps the needs of the earners of that money. 

I would classify that as SELFISH as in "I want to do with your money instead of you".

Conservatives?  We are NOT greedy as we do NOT want other people’s money.  Nor do I covet someone else’s money.  

Think I’m kidding?  NH Senator Sgambatti tips conventional wisdom on its head.  Ignoring the fact that Democrats like her have spent the NH budget into a large hole, she says:

"New Hampshire does not have a spending problem, it has a revenue problem"

and then goes on to say how surprised she is that state revenues have "tanked".  Well, gee whilikers dearie!  You Dems WERE warned; you ignored it.  

Conservatives, when confronted with a "lack of revenues" pull in their belts with respect to spending when this happens.  So do families.  So do companies.

So, why is it that Liberals feel so special that they feel they can ignore what most of us do – shut down spending?  Instead, there is no sign of guilt in ramping up taking from others….

And that’s the major difference between Conservatives and Liberals – the latter are so GREEDY that they have no shame in legal thievery.  Conservatives are the compassionate ones in that we want you to keep your own money so you can provide others with charity on your own.
