I never have understood Republicans.

"Republicans were indifferent to the poor". ~ David Kuo, White House deputy director for faith-based initiatives

For many years, growing up it puzzled me why my mother's brothers and my father's brothers always voted republican, it took an epiphany and George W. Bush to clear it up. They love liars and love to believe them. They emulate them and support them and believe every word that spews from their mouths.

While complaining about taxes, they were always the first to sign up for government benefits. All veterans, they utilized the benefits that democrats fought for to gain them, while complaining about paying for them. None of them could afford private schooling, yet would vociferously complain about public schooling, while never participating in helping their childrens school. One uncle damned federal assistance projects while taking thousands from Uncle Sam for crop rotation and fallow ground projects, also for crop insurance provided by the federal government.

His son still does not discern where the programs come from and the fact that most of the votes against it are from the people he votes for when he votes. They want good schools and roads, but do not understand it takes taxes to build schools and roads among other things.

The only thing this current generation understands in monetary gain. The mega business trends, mega churches, mega bytes; all for what? Growth is not the end. The process is only a part of the path, we must remain humble and revere the person.

"Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery." ~ Moses Maimonides (born Moses Ben Maimon)
