Liberals look at most people as stupid and needing of help.

Hence, the reason for so many social programs.

Don't give people a handout. Give them a hand up.

On the other hand, I believe God puts in people the ability and desire to succeed. Man is a goal striving being.

Goals. Dreams. Desire. Wanting to make a difference. It all comes from God.

So I believe everyone can be successful. Didn't say it would be easy. Didn't say it would be an overnight success. I said I believe it can happen. (And the definition of success varies.)

But when you give handouts and all these social programs, you take away incentive. You take away desire. You make people dependent.

You also make people resentful.

That is why I don't like most politicians, especially ones like Obama. He doesn't inspire people to believe in themselves, to look inward and to God for their success.

Instead, he tells people to look to Obama, to look to government for their supply, for their need. The exchange or medium is their vote.

In the end, all you have are people in despair, who LEARN dependency.

There are too many people that we can point to who have overcome the odds to in order to be successful. One of my favorites is Chris Gardner, a black man who was homeless, and is now a multimillionaire. (Don't just watch the movie about him. Read his book.)

It is stories like these that make this country great.

Happy Independence Day.

P.S. Read, "The Americans Who Risked Everything."
