Political Thoughts...

I have no framework of an idea on this post. Just two things I felt like posting nonetheless that I hope makes people think. Firstly, a quote from Rush Limbaugh, like him or hate him...

"I have a question for you Obama voters: Is this what you voted for? The Dow closed at 9625 on Election Day, the Day of Hope. Since then it's down a third, $3 trillion in wealth. A record 31.8 million Americans are on food stamps, up 700,000 in one month. Unemployment jumped to 8.1% in February. Is this what you voted for?"

Secondly, a question that lays at the very foundation of the debate between liberalism and conservatism...

Even in the name of "social justice," charity, love, or whatever you wanna call it - can we really, if we are honest with ourselves, claim that government reallocation of wealth to the poor is a moral act?
