Sharing Freedom

DateFriday, January 22, 2010 at 11:04PM

I just ran across the following post on Facebook.

2009 Haiti GDP = $7 Billion, 9 million people; 2009 Goldman Sachs bonus pool = $21 Billion, 30,000 people.

After rolling my eyes at this kind of rhetoric, I posted the following response.

Maybe you'd like to compare the freedom and liberty enjoyed by the citizens of this country to that of the Haitian people. It seems proportional to the wealth, doesn't it? Instead of ridiculing freedom and prosperity, let's share it.  http://anglicanaid.net/

Question: When are the academic snobs of the left going to realize that the enormous success of this country is directly tied to our freedom and liberty?

Answer: Never.  They don't like freedom and liberty.  They prefer condescension and control over those they consider 'less fortunate' than themselves.

Update: Never is a long time and people can change.
