Читать книгу Here's Proof Only We Conservatives Have Our Heads Screwed On Straight!!! - Lowell M.D. Green - Страница 3

Forget the CBC’s infamous “Vote Compass” online survey of political issues conducted during the 2011 spring election campaign. If you are unsure of your political leanings here is an easy way to place yourself on the political spectrum (at absolutely no taxpayer expense). Read the following quotes from British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Then read the five statements that follow, identify which of the five you agree with, and you will have your answer. More importantly you will learn how many copies of Here’s Proof you should buy!

Here, in part, is the statement the “Iron Lady” gave to Woman’s Own magazine, September 1987:

I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand “I have a problem, it is the Government’s job to cope with it!” or “I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!” “I am homeless, the Government must house me!” and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation and it is, I think, one of the tragedies in which many of the benefits we give, which were meant to reassure people that if they were sick or ill there was a safety net and there was help, that many of the benefits which were meant to help people who were unfortunate—“It is all right. We joined together and we have these insurance schemes to look after it.” That was the objective, but somehow there are some people who have been manipulating the system and so some of those help and benefits that were meant to say to people: “All right, if you cannot get a job, you shall have a basic standard of living!” but when people come and say: “But what is the point of working? I can get as much on the dole!” You say: “Look. It is not from the dole. It is your neighbour who is supplying it and if you can earn your own living then really you have a duty to do it and you will feel very much better!”

Here’s how to grade yourself.

1.Strongly agree—you have the mature wisdom and common sense of a staunch conservative thinker and will need to buy enough books to supply every neighbour who ever littered their lawn with a Liberal, Green Party or NDP sign. Enlightenment is your duty!

2.Somewhat agree—you are in the process of acquiring the full wisdom and elevated sense of understanding that every true conservative thinker possesses and will need to buy sufficient books for all members of your family to ensure you all progress up the ladder of enlightenment at the same rate.

3.Somewhat disagree—You fall under the “faint hope clause,” and thus if you buy and read this book carefully, all may not be lost. You could very well be a late bloomer, so at least give yourself a chance at total enlightenment.

4.Strongly disagree—God help you because no one else can. Do not buy this book! It will give you nightmares!

5.No opinion—You are definitely an NDP supporter. Thinking requires energy that we all know creates greenhouse gasses and a terrible carbon footprint. By not buying this book you can save the lives of 2,312,000 trees! Or, if you want a peek at how we conservatives think, buy the eBook to keep your poor brainwashed conscience clear.
