This idea that the U.S. is evil for enforcing the law is insane. I don’t see her taking people in
You'll find that almost every liberal you ever talk to, has never spent so much as an hour in a soup kitchen.
I've spent a lot of years off and on volunteering with a local big brother equivalent.
Its always like 3 of us dudes (never any women), with 30+ kids looking for someone to pair with. All races, all mostly innocent kids in a bad situation with someone trying to make them have a better chance at life. And its just me and a few others usually pretty conservative or centrist dudes just trying to give our time.
The organization literally just asks for an hour a week from us (you can do more, but you have to do an hour to qualify for the tax benefit), a literal drop in the bucket, and not a single strongly Liberal person to show up and help these little Mexican or black kids not fall into gangs or drugs before they turn 12.
I haven't ever attempted big brother(a couple guys I knew from the service did though), although I've done a fair amount of designated driver volunteering in the past.
Its pretty fulfilling. Usually you'll end with up a kid who literally worships you as some idol, since their own father is usually incredibly lacking (which is why they end up there), so you are motivated to be the best version of yourself to be a good example for them.
While obviously just having a kid of your own is the best version of that for everyone, trying to improve your local community one life at a time still brings its own benefits.
Liberals want the government to do everything that charities do so they can feel virtuous without all that icky work.
Exactly. I could at least respect a Bernie or free stuff supporter who also volunteered their own time to help the less fortunate but they truly believe the govt exists to solve everyone’s needs and “progressive” Christians seem to miss the point Jesus made about helping those in need
Is it a miss if they weren't aiming at that target? I've noticed liberals never bring up Christ except to claim that He would allow waves of invaders or applaud tax slavery. They certainly don't want to hear the "stop being a whore and follow my example" parts of the New Testament, for instance.
Personally I think it's just a halfassed attempt to use passages and parables they don't understand as a cudgel. I don't think there is such a thing as a left wing Christian. Merely someone who is either lying to themselves, or lying to you.
It's magical thinking. They think that if they can use the right
spellcombination of words, you will just give them what they want.Good point indeed.
This reminds me of the one time Seth Mcfarlane was based and actuallly had Quagmire call out Brian(often seen as Seth's self insert) for exactly this.

Given how he is, I'm still surprised that not only got written and voiced but actually aired. Self criticism is... not in the wheelhouse for liberals so to speak.
Yes. Great diatribe
These are the same people who lost their minds over Trump calling those countries shitholes.
Exactly. I’d love to ask a lefty how on one hand they act like America is hell on earth but on the other hand they demand the western world take in the entire 3rd world
A big mental shift we need in the US is to stop acting like the US is the problem if people come here illegally and have kids and then they end getting deported. We’re not deporting people that misfiled some paperwork or were a day or two over a deadline or have some kind of a polite grey area. I used to be more pro Dreamer, but it just makes the problem worse by rewarding it. Anchor babies in general also never made any sense. Can we go to China while pregnant and have a kid in the airport and now we’re citizens?
Agreed. And I wish there was a way to punish the dishonest media that platforms constant sob stories
