I believe the following is a perfect example of why the liberal mindset is so dangerous.

Social programs that are created with the intent of helping people often have the opposite effect. To a liberal that thinks with their emotions the choice is simple: When someone is in need, you give them the resources to fulfill that need. If a person is poor, give them money. If a person is homeless, give them government subsidized housing. If a family can’t afford to feed their children, give them free lunch at school. But is any of this actually helping people? Feeding starving school children couldn’t possibly be bad, could it?

It’s all a matter of motivation and responsibility, which are two things the liberal mental disorder never considers. It is pathetic and disheartening that parents are no longer required to feed their own children. Do you realize the magnitude of that statement? Parents do not have to feed their children because the government will do it for them. How low have we sunk as a society that something as basic as feeding your children is no longer expected of people? If you tell someone you’ll do something for them, they have little motivation to do it for themselves.

"Oh but Mr. Blarg, the poor children are starving because they’re below the poverty line. How can you be so heartless?" School lunches here cost $1.25 a day, and at five days a week, that’s a whopping $6. When I was growing up, buying lunch was a luxury. How much would it cost to bring PB&J everyday? I bet you could get the weekly cost down to $5 if you really tried. But instead, liberals would rather play Santa Clause with other people’s money. You’ve probably paid for a kid’s lunch whose parents drive a leased Navigator. You’ve probably paid for a kid who has cable at home, or Jordan’s on their feet, or an Xbox 360 in their room. Not only have you had to pay for it, but these "needy" people have not had to make the tough decision between lunch for their child and a big screen TV.

What liberals and this mentality have done is excuse people from taking responsibility for their own actions. You no longer have to rise to the occasion, work harder, get an education, make sacrifices, plan for your future, or be responsible. When the government does that for people, the people won’t do that for themselves.
