Though a series of posts, I hope to articulate my view of  Conservatives and of Conservatism as a whole.  Be careful not to read GOP or Republican into any of what I say.   Liberals and Conservatives span both parties and I would argue most Conservatives are members of neither.

Liberals are evil.  They are self-centered, “me first” focused with little regard for anyone else.  How can I say this?  Common theory would suggest the Liberals are for the common man, in for the struggle and such.  Partially true.  They are for the common man; the individual and whatever he wants, regardless of impact to society as a whole.   This is pretty close to the definition of selfish.  How can I reach such a conclusion when the facts obviously show otherwise?

Lets look at the facts.    Unions.  Not about the selfishness?    Are unions to protect the achiever, the worker that works to better himself and the company along the way?  No, they are for the sloth, they guy just trying to get by.   They are to protect that worker to make sure he gets his regardless of effort.  Achievement is held back and the company suffers, profits suffer.  But that is OK because they will get theirs.  They will demand their raises and fight to limit any effort to expect more.  Sounds pretty selfish to me.

 But the most obvious example is abortion.  Abortion is not about the child.  The child is killed and removed from the equation.  It is about the mother.  Making sure that she gets whatever she wants.  For liberals this is not about allowing the procedure in cases of rape, insist or even a single act extreme stupidity.  This is about allowing it any time up to and including birth (as longa as Dr. is present to perform the killing) as many times as needed.   This is selfishness at a level that defies reality.  It so defies reality that if a Dr. is not present or if the killing is performed by a common man, it is murder.   34 states recognize that harming a fetus in utero is a criminal act; that is unless overruled by the selfish desires of the mother and her doctor. 

Social Security and government spending.. spending money they do not have to give to people NOW.   We must get ours now, regardless of the impact on our children and grandchildren.   Social security deficit is over 2Trillion dollars (and held outside of the published budget numbers) and under Obama’s “everyone gets some” plans our Federal Deficit has crested a Trillion anually.  Community Reinvestment Act… I want a house but can’t afford it… we will give you one.  Health Care is a right.   I do not care if I do not provide enough service to another man to afford my own health care or have it offered to me in return for my services.   I live here…I want it.. give it to me.  

These are all the acts of selfish people wanting what they have not earned and taking it from others (even those of future generations, including their own children)  because they “need” it.   But it does not end with selfishness.   That is just the beginning.
