Studies have shown that Liberals (or at least those who call themselves Liberal) give less to charity than Conservatives.

For many Liberals their “charity obligations” (Noblesse Oblige; Tzedakah, Acts of Charity,or whatever term one wishes to use) are fulfilled by their voting record. In other words, they have passed their duties onto the government. They can now wash their hands.

But once the money has passed onto the government it is now “free for the taking.” It would be unethical for them to not get the most for their own children!

Nice disconnect, no?

Conservatives, on the other hand, have more of a sense of personal obligation. They are more apt to see the connection and do the right thing.

That said, I find it very un-Obamalike to send $3 million to relieve the strains on a lily-white community whose K-8 public school district does not have a principal, but rather a “head of school.” Pretty tony, no?

If Ross were not a solidly Democratic, ultra-liberal enclave in Marin (aka Nomenklatura) County, the usual suspects would be screaming their heads off at this.

Once this story hits the local news stations, I’ll just sit back and watch the back black lash.

If those morons were removed, others would replace them. The system originates the problems because the system gives sanction to individuals. It is not that there are corrupt morons around. It is that the system keeps making more of them until you change the system, not get rid of the morons. A corrupt system can exist with continual purges of the corrupt cogs. A corrupt cog, however, cannot exist in a system that isn’t corrupt, but actually honest.

When speaking to a black audience, this could easily be used as anti-Democrat propaganda utilizing black prejudices about whites and how laws are enforced.

The Left is almost impossible to beat if they close ranks and keep up their alliances. Shattering those alliances by making one interest group turn on the other, now that’s the way to go.

Any citizen or individual that wishes to see increased prosperity, equality of opportunity, and the pursuit of justice should care where money is being spent on the federal dictate.

This is white privilege. But those like Helen are too afraid to fight it. Much easier to beat up a fake strawman they call white privilege and systemic racism.

I as a taxpayer don’t actually care. If the rule was: do the paperwork, enter the lottery, see if you win – and they did it and in fact won; then what’s the beef I as a taxpayer should have? (After all, the money’s already been stolen from me. My wallet only cares that it’s gone, it doesn’t much care where it goes.) Do I think there are 5,000 better uses for the money? Absolutely, but the rules were what they were and Ross didn’t cheat, so…

Now. The morons who made the rules – we could well have something to say about them!

(As to education, the good burghers of Ross need to cast their nets a bit wider, though. I don’t know what private schools there may be within 25 miles of Ross, but I do know Deerfield, Choate, Loomis, Avon, Canterbury, Suffield, Exeter, and all the rest anybody’s ever heard of – they’re all in New England. [Though when last I looked Avon was costing upwards of $35,000 a year. That doesn't really work on $102K a year - yet Avon continues to be fully enrolled with a waiting list. I don't know how many New England preppies are from Ross. Maybe Ross ain't all that rich.])

Anyway, good for them. They followed the rules, entered the contest, took home the Kewpie doll. It’s hard to complain, except in generalized terms about the usual government half-wittedness, of which there is evidently no lack.

Apparently, the version of Keyensianism that Obama learned taught him that a job in a helicopter factory is not stimulative….
