We talk about putting our money on the table. I live in Vegas, and people bet on their beliefs all the time. However, the fact of the matter is that in most matters of belief and principle, most people are all talk.
The people who supposedly advocate on behalf of the needy want us to do the work while they get the glory. Rich entertainers stage benefit concerts to collect money and donate very little themselves. The president, despite earning millions last year, donated about 6% to charity. All the while, as I said previously, they bite the hand that feeds them. They attack the nation that allows them to have the luxurious lives they live and tell us we are greedy and evil and need to atone.
People like this play us like fiddles, galvanizing our guilt. They want us to feel bad for offenses we did not give and circumstances about which we know nothing and in which we can do little. You see the ads at Christmas every year about starving children in africa, and maybe your mother used that phrase to get you to finish your meal. I promise to stop bringing that up to people I know and love. It's a form of manipulation.
Let's manipulate the system the way they do to their detriment. I propose we start voting with our pocketbooks and stop patronizing shops, services, and people whose politics run counter to our own and put that money instead into industries that work for the engines of liberty. ACORN, Americans for Change, Center for American Progress, World Wildlife Fund, the Sierra Club, and a whole slieu of leftist leaning "charitable" organizations protected under the non-profit rules in this nation depend on donations. If donations dry up, with what will they be able to lobby for change we oppose? If instead our donations and spending goes to companies who support Americanism, then the people who agree with us will have more money to spend.
Last month I watched the original Manchurian Candidate movie. The good senator pledged that he would spend every cent he had and every cent he could borrow blocking the communists. It's time companies like WalMart and the like stopped worrying about being "socially conscious" or "environmentally friendly" and start giving money to organizations that will not seek their destruction. What we currently do is akin to handing Iran a nuclear missile and hoping and praying they won't shoot it back at us. Asinine insanity!
Put your money where your politics is. Years ago, a general authority of my church was seen shopping at a chain far from his home. When asked why he went out of his way to shop there he explained that they shared his principles. Stop going to Whole Foods, Wild Oats, and other organizations whose sole real purpose is to destroy the prosperity of the Enlightened Experiment. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything, and we already have enough automatons in America. That's why Obama won the election.
