The Crowbar

I’m working on something big that has incredible potential. This blog by itself is not enough to have an effect on American politics. I originally intended to strongly challenge and expose the left blogsphere’s crazy antics and ideas. They deserve to have their credibility diminished, most of them are awful people. But challenging them is not enough. I want to offer Americans something better, ideas to stabilize our country and enhance traditional, non-progressive American values.

So, I’m putting my web administrator skilz to use in creating something much bigger,  much better, & much more fun.

My Big Idea started with the premise that conservatives & tea partiers have vast amounts of compassion toward the poor and the needy – even knowing that the poor and needy are usally poor and needy because they’ve made bad decisions. I’d even go so far as to say that conservatives & Tea Partiers have far MORE compassion toward the poor and needy than liberal-progressives could ever muster. It is far more compassionate to give away your own wealth than to advocate transferring a rich stranger’s wealth to the poor and needy who then  conveniently become dependent on your advocacy. Well, Duh… but this is totally lost on progressive-liberals.

But, alas, I stand befuddled. Why don’t conservative politicians and Republicans talk about private charity as a competitor to coerced government charity? It seems to me it’s the obvious, perfect foil to inefficient, corrupt, & dependency-inducing government charity.

Charity is important because the people retain affections for democrat-liberal-progressives mostly because they appear to “care” about the poor and needy. They appear to be “helping” the little guy while republican-conservatives appear to be rich folk who care only about themselves (SO not true!).

So, then, WHAT IF conservatives & Tea Partiers became advocates for large-scale private charity that could compete directly with lame, socialist-driven government charities?

Why can’t free-market principles be applied to helping those in need?

That’s the question that started it all. We shall see where it leads.
