Preach on brother!
The story will not change in our lifetimes. Categorical change is the Democrat's mantra. They seek self-gratification by declaring sweeping social reforms such as "free" healthcare, and college education. SH posted that having a single payer healthcare system would be "easy", but that it would bloat the federal budget and deficit a little more. Crockett crows that we should let all illegal children into our country in order to be good citizens of the world. NJ doesn't want to infringe on the "rights" of those that follow Islam under the banner that Islam is a religion we should respect without regard to its beliefs and teachings.
Seemingly, all Democrats blame violence on poverty, and unequal pay and a host of other social situations on improper discrimination. They believe that their compassion is the overriding justification for sweeping social policy. They propose their compassionate solutions as if they have the grand knowledge needed to solve these "social problems". They repeatedly ignore the impact of preempting the decisions millions of others, or the obvious constraints, and problems their grand schemes will create or exacerbate, such as huge federal deficits made worse with single payer healthcare, terrorist attacks, generations of welfare recipients. They also ignore obvious contemporaneous and historical proof that their ideas have been shown to be failures.
In a free society, "there is no single just cause, only just methods"-Jean-Francois Revel
The big question involves a review of the manner in which decisions should be made. Do a few elected representatives have the knowledge needed to make sweeping decisions that are superior to the millions of decisions that are made by the "marketplace"? Of course not, but politicians climb on that soap box every election and act as if they do have that knowledge. Liberals magically possess the knowledge, as is most recently evidenced by the failure of Obamacare, to make healthcare affordable to all. Millions of people should not be allowed to make their own decisions because, BY GOD, liberals know best because they are compassionate! Screw individual freedom and to hell with those that liberal causes negatively effect.
