Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today candid conservative minute...

We live in a culture increasingly dedicated to making people dependent on government and the labors of others.  It's probably important to understand the monster we are helping to create.  Political vanity kings like the 'take the glory now and postpone the bill for later approach' in promising goodies to constituents.  Their assumption is that pretending to fight for the needy will produce warm furry feelings.  That assumption is correct - but only for awhile.  Dependent people rarely love or appreciate those that they are dependent upon.  Instead, over time, anger and resentment bloom into a hostile dependency relationship.  When dependencies are challenged, the buried anger bubbles up - often violently.  We all have wants, but when someone else is paying the bill, those wants have a way of becoming needs.  It feels good to have needs met and so needs have a way of becoming assumed rights.  Politicians who trigger the want-need-right dependency cycle are practicing socialists doing great harm to our culture.  They will one day harvest the wrath of their creation - but only after harvesting the lint out of our pockets...

I'm Dr. Carl Mumpower and you've just spent a minute with a candid conservative...
