A stirring essay

Two for one…

Well written, Jacky Hood, with great observations. Until Rev. Nixon and those with her same mindset are walking the walk to open up their homes to those who need it, I’ll ignore their talking the talk.

Thanks for your comment, MichKosk, making important points that would take me much longer, especially in the morning, to relay. An upcoming Happy New Year to you and your family. It’d be great if you could submit comments earlier in the morning so as to beat me to the punch, so to speak, with astute and common sense observations. Our mutual friend Mr. van Ulden has done so quite a number of times. (And a Happy New Year to you, Mr. van Ulden, if you’re reading this.) Just kidding, I welcome your comments any time.

Great letter that really illustrates the differences in liberal/progressive vs. conservative philosophy. The left attempts, as the Reverend did in her op-ed, to paint themselves as "moral" by arguing that things like food, shelter, health care etc. are "human rights". But these "rights" require taking from others in the form of higher and higher taxes, which has nothing to do with morality. It is kind, good and moral to give of yourself (whether your money or time) to the extent you can- starting with your own family and extending to your local and then broader community. Taking from others so government can provide whatever benefit you think is a "human right" is in no way moral.
