[StBernard] Am I missing something?

[Westley Annis]

			Am I missing something?
			
			 The definition of the word Conundrum is: something
that is puzzling or
			 confusing.
			
			 Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United
States of America:
			
			 1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of
the population is subsidized.
			 
			 2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they
think they are victims.
			 
			 3. They think they are victims - yet their
representatives run the government.
			 
			 4. Their representatives run the government - yet
the poor keep getting poorer.
			 
			 5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have
things that people in
			 other countries only dream about.
			
			 6. They have things that people in other countries
only dream about -
			 yet they want America to be more like those other
countries.
			 
			 Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much
sums up the USA in
			 the 21st Century.
			 
			 Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
			
			 These three, short sentences tell you a lot about
the direction of our
			 current government and cultural environment:
			 
			 1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the
actions of a few
			 lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun
owners by the actions
			 of a few lunatics.  Funny how that works.
			 
			 And here's another one worth considering...
			 
			2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social
Security is going to run
			 out of money. How come we never hear about welfare
or food stamps
			 running out of money? What's interesting is the
first group "worked
			 for" their money, but the second didn't.  Think
about it.....
			 
			 and Last but not least,
			
			 3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no
pay raises for our
			 military and cutting our army to a level lower than
before WWII, but
			 we are not stopping the payments or benefits to
illegal aliens.
			 
			 Am I the only one missing something?
