Really it is just like Yasser Arafat and the Palestinians… Yassar needed a whipping horse to give him a platform and something to “lead.” He needed the homeless, downtrodden in those refugee camps, else what would he have to say? If he ever really helped them, or if any other nation- that claimed to care- had taken them in and really helped them, where would his “prestige,” platform and money come from? Who could they hate? Who could they blame... for anything? Yassar would have to move on to say… live a real life.
The Dem’s need a victim in much the same way. They cannot afford to really help anyone. Imagine people getting off welfare and out of government (see it right there!) housing. Where is the Dem’s constituency? Where are the teeming masses yearning to be led?
Rather than help them, Dem’s must create a helpless class. First they must convince “them” they need someone to pick up the mantle for them. They must create victims who need the government. After all if the people realize their future is in their own hands, not in the government’s, they kill the golden goose! But… if you can keep a people emotionally and financially tied to you, you can ride this donkey for generations. The Dem’s never want to see people “Free at last, free at last.” That would mean the end for all of dem.
However, Conservatives NEED the government, as well. They need the government to stay out of the way. They NEED the government to allow the free enterprise system to work so Americans can go about their business and actually pay taxes. Should this ever happen, these taxes can then be put to use for things this nation actually needs, like an improved infrastructure.
However, Conservatives need the government in another way, as well. Conservatives need the government to keep America safe from “all enemies both foreign and domestic” so they can continue making the money that fuels the economy. Therefore, conservatives need the government to maintain a strong military.
Dem’s want to give a man a fish and feed him for a day. This way the man will need to come back to the government day after day after year after generation (Note generational government housing) to get his food. All the while, of course, taking these fish from those who caught them.
Conservatives want to teach the man to fish, how to clean his own fish, how to sell his fish at market price, and how to buy more fishing poles so he can catch even more fish. This way the man (or woman) can teach his children “fishing” is not a dirty word. “You were not born to live off another man’s fish.”
