It is, I would submit, that liberals have so expanded the definition of "the harmed" that they have diluted the definition of the truly needy to the point of non-existence. I differentiate between those who would, but cant--the needy--and those who could, but won't. <br /><br />Every individual who describes a want (defined by liberals as a "need") is deemed worthy of support by society rather than expected to take personal responsibility for his or her condition. Thus the truly needy get swallowed up in the larger pool of mere "wanters" and go un-cared for. If liberals would grow as much spine as they expect conservatives to grow heart, perhaps we could return to a society in which we take care of those who truly cannot do for themselves.Mac McCartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816287937690789122noreply@blogger.com
