The Greater Good Means Too Bad For The Children

March 18, 2010 / 8:54 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Senator Lieberman tried yet again to save D.C.’s school children and it fell on the deaf progressive ears of President Obama. Why does President Obama hate children? Why does he treat his own girls one way and act with willful indifference to needy minority kids going to the same school as them?

Read this and be outraged:

Right now, today, some 1,900 Washington children are sitting in calm, safe, orderly classrooms in neighborhoods other than their own, because of this program. The cost, in the scheme of things, is laughably small.

Yet congressional Democrats and Obama are killing it. This week, Lieberman’s colleagues voted down his attempt to attach a voucher-saving amendment to a larger piece of legislation.
It is a scandal. That the children already enrolled in the scheme will be able to finish 12th grade with the scholarship is small comfort; why only them? Why not their younger brothers and sisters, who will not have the same chance? Why leave these children behind?

When you hear liberals talk about loving the little children, keep in mind that, as usual, they only love some children–mostly their own.

That’s what happens when decisions are made for the greater good. The ruling class gets one set of health care, education, tax break, government deal, home, car, etc. and then the regular folks get what the “greater good” gets–which is usually nothing.

    When you hear liberals talk about loving the little children, keep in mind that, as usual, they only love some children–mostly their own.

    And not long after that they stop loving even their own. If that were not true, they would not abort their children. Neither would they raise their children to believe and pass on lies.

    It’s long been said that if you’re not a liberal before you’re 30, you have no heart; if you’re not a conservative after you’re 30, you have no head.

    Today’s “progressives,” though, seem to be lacking in both the heart and the head departments.
