09/07/2007 | to an extend. But not everyone is capable of being self-reliant (not just due to laziness, but because of health injuries, and socially government should be responsible to help.)

12/05/2005 | Just like the title suggests....we conservatives don't need welfare; we can find employment on our own, whether self-employed or hired.

10/21/2005 | Used to be this way but recently, with the administrations increase in government size, it seems like they are trying to provide more and more, thus negating these concepts.

08/31/2005 | Absolutely. Like tough love with children. It should not take an idea from a political group to bring to front the idea that adults need to be self sufficient. To some degree this is simply about charachter. If your on welfare or unemployment any longer than absolutely neccessary, shame on you.

08/14/2005 | A solid philosophical foundation of conservatism, to be sure. . .but the idea that people on the left don't (1) work, (2) become personally, intellectually, and monetarily successful and (3) aren't personally responsible is simply too stupid for words.

08/13/2005 | Abraham Lincoln said it best when he observed that You can not help men permantely by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves. How are individual to sustain themselves if they don't know how to? Would we send a four year old to work as the CEO of Microsoft? Would we give a blind man a German Shepard and tell him to train him/her themself? I like to think that this piece of common sense isn't restricted only to conservatism but alas NAACP loves to prove me wrong.

07/30/2005 | I discovered conservatism, in myself, rather than having chosen it as a political ideology. I give most of the credit to Ronald Reagan, in another post, but Jimmy Carter deserves almost as much credit for my transformation (or discovery) in the same way so many great comedians needed and made great use of a straight man. Reagan seemed immeasurably smarter and ideologically stronger because Carter seemed always to attempt to talk his way around every issue, rather than simply calling things by the right names. If more Americans were self-reliant and accepted (no, I mean EMBRACED) personal responsibility for their actions and their outcomes, rather than blaming any number of other excuses for failure, America would be a better place.

07/29/2005 | These are necessary components of a thriving capitalist society. And it is our entrepreneurship and ability to largely determine our own financial destinations that separates us from the Europeans. Resultingly, in regard to international matters, the U.S., as a result of its wealth, is able to dictate to Europe rather than the other way around.
And thanks for listing me in the credits.
