The Month Before Christmas

Written on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 by Rod Bedard Jr.

T’was a month before Christmas and all through the land
Stood half of the people with outstretched hands.
They wanted free goodies and that’s not a joke
And were eager to take them from hard working folk.

We’d not seen it coming, at least not this fast
The change in America was so hard to grasp.
The Liberal Progressives had quietly toiled
Our Blessed America soon would be spoiled.

It started out slow with perhaps good intention
The programs kept growing without apprehension.
With affirmative action it really got brewing
Handouts galore, what the heck were we doing.

The Dems and Republicans both are to blame
Both having experts at playing the game.
Convince folks they’re victims and tell them they’re owed
By tax paying people they don’t even know.

But the Democrats really perfected the craft
Picking our pockets while all of them laughed.
But we didn’t hear them, we’d fallen asleep
Trillions in debt we are in it too deep.

Now Sanders! Pelosi! Now Waters and Reid!
On Axelrod, Dean and Jackson-Lee!
Use rhetoric, blame and accusation
With race and class warfare they’ve split up the Nation.

So now we have come to a dangerous place
Where of brave politicians there’s barely a trace.
Obama is Czar now and that’s how he acts
Executive orders, tax and tax.

They’ve really expanded our fiscal mess
While insulting, demeaning, hard work and success.
Hey you didn’t build that…that’s what he said
So he’ll take half your earnings after you’re dead.

America’s debt’s going up by the hour
The Dems couldn’t care less, it’s all about power.
They’re determined to keep it no matter the price
Trade “free stuff” for votes and that should suffice.

Steal from the working in much larger portions
Use it for birth control pills and abortions.
Blame corporations and seek retribution
Indoctrinate the children in redistribution.

Pit men against women, whites against blacks
The poor versus wealthy, keep up the attacks.
There’s Occupy Wall Street and all those fools
Useful idiots, Socialist’s tools.

Progressives and Liberals have picked who to blame
They pander and pander and have no shame.
They’re righteous and angry and they know the way
That we should all live and we don’t get a say.

They promise their voters milk and honey
The shameless line up to take other folk’s money.
Conditioned to think they are somehow due
There’s never a thought about stealing from you.

So we’ve come to a place in our Country today
Where half of us leech and the other half pay.
So I ask you think what this poem’s about
When we become Europe, who bails US out?

nice way to see vets who have fought for your freedoms and now need the country to buy them the prosthetics so they can walk.
 
Nice way to veiw the cop who worked 40 years protecting your streets and is now retired and needs in home care to keep her alive.
 
Nice way to veiw the children who need to be given a school lunch because their parents cant find a job Because your party broke the world wide economy so rich people could keep a tax cut.
 
time to for this country to shutter off your type of evil minded taintwallows who think kicking someone when they need human compassion will "learn em how".


Your day is done.

Its over.


go be a heartless asshole in the dark
 
Not that any of that is mentioned but maybe you tightwad liberals should give more instead of giving other people's money, and please back away from the insults. From one of your own

This holiday season is a time to examine who’s been naughty and who’s been nice, but I’m unhappy with my findings. The problem is this: We liberals are personally stingy.

Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates.

Arthur Brooks, the author of a book on donors to charity, “Who Really Cares,” cites data that households headed by conservatives give 30 percent more to charity than households headed by liberals. A study by Google found an even greater disproportion: average annual contributions reported by conservatives were almost double those of liberals.

Other research has reached similar conclusions. The “generosity index” from the Catalogue for Philanthropy typically finds that red states are the most likely to give to nonprofits, while Northeastern states are least likely to do so.

The upshot is that Democrats, who speak passionately about the hungry and homeless, personally fork over less money to charity than Republicans — the ones who try to cut health insurance for children.

“When I started doing research on charity,” Mr. Brooks wrote, “I expected to find that political liberals — who, I believed, genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did — would turn out to be the most privately charitable people. So when my early findings led me to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error. I re-ran analyses. I got new data. Nothing worked. In the end, I had no option but to change my views.”

Something similar is true internationally. European countries seem to show more compassion than America in providing safety nets for the poor, and they give far more humanitarian foreign aid per capita than the United States does. But as individuals, Europeans are far less charitable than Americans.

Americans give sums to charity equivalent to 1.67 percent of G.N.P., according to a terrific new book, “Philanthrocapitalism,” by Matthew Bishop and Michael Green. The British are second, with 0.73 percent, while the stingiest people on the list are the French, at 0.14 percent.

(Looking away from politics, there’s evidence that one of the most generous groups in America is gays. Researchers believe that is because they are less likely to have rapacious heirs pushing to keep wealth in the family.)

When liberals see the data on giving, they tend to protest that conservatives look good only because they shower dollars on churches — that a fair amount of that money isn’t helping the poor, but simply constructing lavish spires.

It’s true that religion is the essential reason conservatives give more, and religious liberals are as generous as religious conservatives. Among the stingiest of the stingy are secular conservatives.

According to Google’s figures, if donations to all religious organizations are excluded, liberals give slightly more to charity than conservatives do. But Mr. Brooks says that if measuring by the percentage of income given, conservatives are more generous than liberals even to secular causes.

In any case, if conservative donations often end up building extravagant churches, liberal donations frequently sustain art museums, symphonies, schools and universities that cater to the well-off. (It’s great to support the arts and education, but they’re not the same as charity for the needy. And some research suggests that donations to education actually increase inequality because they go mostly to elite institutions attended by the wealthy.)

Conservatives also appear to be more generous than liberals in nonfinancial ways. People in red states are considerably more likely to volunteer for good causes, and conservatives give blood more often. If liberals and moderates gave blood as often as conservatives, Mr. Brooks said, the American blood supply would increase by 45 percent.

So, you’ve guessed it! This column is a transparent attempt this holiday season to shame liberals into being more charitable. Since I often scold Republicans for being callous in their policies toward the needy, it seems only fair to reproach Democrats for being cheap in their private donations. What I want for Christmas is a healthy competition between left and right to see who actually does more for the neediest.

Of course, given the economic pinch these days, charity isn’t on the top of anyone’s agenda. Yet the financial ability to contribute to charity, and the willingness to do so, are strikingly unrelated. Amazingly, the working poor, who have the least resources, somehow manage to be more generous as a percentage of income than the middle class.

So, even in tough times, there are ways to help. Come on liberals, redeem yourselves, and put your wallets where your hearts are.
