The Observer | Comment | Those New York blues:
"Certainly one of the most salient ironies of this election was the discovery of how selfless most Americans are. In great swathes across the country, people who would have been economically better off under Kerry have selflessly voted for Bush. With Bush in the White House, they might lose their jobs, they might die because they can't afford health insurance, but it's worth it in order to ensure the unhappiness of others: gay people who want to get married, for example, or women who need an abortion.

This idea that has been stated in several places by various spokesmen reminds me of my most hated bumper sticker. In South Texas we had a lot of winter Texans. Occasionally, I would see on an RV, 'I'm spending my children's inheritance.' Liberals could easily wear the same sign-- 'I'm spending our future's inheritance to buy votes now.'
Amen, Steve. I've got no sympathy for anybody who demands handouts from the taxpayers. Liberals think that the problem with private charity is that you have to say, "please."
