The irony I have observed in Democrats

(1/2) > >>

Froderik:
Democrats are the first ones to say that automobiles are killing the environment. Automobiles do cause pollution, so why don't Democrats quit buying cars? Why is it that I often see expensive cars and low fuel effiency SUVs with bumper stickers for Democrat politicians? Why is it that I also see old beat-up cars burning oil and blowing clouds of grey smoke also bearing bumper for Democrat politicians? If these people REALLY subscribe to the Democrats' playbook, then they better repair their cars or ideally just quit driving. Ah ha! You say that Republicians are guilty of these same things, therefore I shouldn't be talking. Well, sure, but you don't hear us bitching about SUVs and all that. No one likes pollution, and we should to enforce the anti-pollution laws we have before enacting more.

On a similar subject, it is also very ironic that Democrats drive expensive cars and live in expensive homes. Isn't the Democratic party the party of the poor person? Why don't these people sell their expensive belongings and give the money to the government so that it can be used for social programs? If they don't want to do that, they can walk into any place of worship and make a donation that will be used much more efficiently to help people in need than any government program.

Have you ever noticed that Democrats claim to be the party of the "Working man"? They imply that wealthy people don't work. They imply they wealthy people somehow got their wealth through some illegal means. Did it ever occur to a Democrat that a person may have become rich by working very, very hard? I guess they didn't consider this option. Did it also occur to Democrats that there are just about as many wealthy Democrats as Republicians? I guess the Dems don't like to make it known to the populace that some of Dems have tons of money. The reason for all of this is that Democrat politicians believe that the common man should be enriched through government handouts, but not by actually working hard and getting ahead. This gives the Democrat policians control over the populace. Sounds like a Socialist government to me.

Cause cars were invented and roads laid before the socialists took over so much of our industry. So cars exist and have really not changed all that much in the past 50 years or so. If we had a truely free market in automobile manufacture and not a nationalized monopoly, someone would probably have come out with a more efficient or alternative fuel vehicle way back in the `70's when ppl started really getting concerned about air polution and geopolitical oil wars. If it were available at a reasonable price, I'd buy one.

But Democrats don't think that way. Instead, they want to pass laws to take our money and spend it according to some plan they think might eventually result in a more efficient car. But, since the funding goes through political agencies, those decisions are all political and hardly ever make any sense at the other end.

No. Up until now, and perhaps until my dying day, I've been a strict non-voter.  :smokin:

Voting for Nadar is like saying "Hey! Can you super size that government for me, please?"

I think the best answer to our current debacle is to take Moe's frequently offered avice and S P R E A D  O U T!!
