If This Doesn't Concern You.....

....you really need to get your head out of the sand.

Hat tip to Everyday Mommy for this quote:

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers ~~

Well said.

Glen Beck has figured out that a legislator has to read 640 words per minute from the time of receiving the bill in order to have read it before the vote, thanks to the fast track it is on. That is, in order for Nancy Pelosi to stay on schedule for her trip to Europe. Given that no legislator is capable of reading that fast, this bill will be voted on by people who have little to no idea as to what it even says. This is the largest expenditure in the history of the nation, with many, many naysayers, and they are jumping into it blindly. Can you say irresponsible? Insane? Utterly frightening?

That comment from Adrian Rogers makes a lot of sense, especially this part, which ought to be blindingly obvious, really!

"What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving."
