a week or so ago, a friend was in town… he is a conservative who moved
to Texas… we were talking in a bar and one of us mentioned BLM…
the discussion then went something like this…
Me: why was BLM marching? to protest the deaths of
innocent people at the hands of the police"
Him: “what about the people who businesses were burned downed?”
and right there, in that exchanged we see the difference between the mindset
of conservatives vs liberals…his mind jumped to the business owners building
being burnt down and the loss of money… I was thinking about the loss of lives
and he was concerned with the loss of private property…
and that exactly shows us the difference between conservatives and liberals…
he had no concern about the loss of lives, but plenty of concern about the loss
of private property…
I hold that lives are more important then money or private property,
he held as do all conservatives, money, private property is more important…
the conservative answer to life saving programs that save lives is this,
‘‘who is going to pay for it’’’ or ‘‘we can’t afford it’’…
pro-life indeed when money or private property becomes the means by
which we judge things…that isn’t pro-life… that is pro-money or
pro-property…and that in a nutshell is a conservative… pro-money
