When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

So, in effect, we are "stealing" the very hope the world's most poor have. Shame on us.
Similar to my position on providing "good" neonatal care on peoples such as those in Ethiopia, to "curse" them with healthy children and no real means to deal with the famine, and lack of arable farmlands with which to feed the coming generation.
Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
Pay attention. That is what Roy Beck is talking about.

That's from 2010. I wonder how much worse it is now?

Yeah, it either crashed or got hacked.
Hope it's the former.

So brilliant and in such a simple context that even liberals can understand it. It will probably make their heads explode, though, given intellectual honesty is beyond their capability.
