The Evil Done in Pursuit of the Good
Part I

The source of nearly every problem extant in the federal government is federal benevolence in the form of wealth redistribution.  The thorny problem of criminal alien invaders would be far less emotional were the federal government more responsible to the Constitution and their constituents than their current "spend like a drunken sailor" ways.

Were the federal stingy with my tax dollars, and not just in the case of the criminal alien invader, there would be little reason for most of the forms of persistent oppression our biased media lament.

Criminal alien invaders would have little success north of the Rio Grande if they were not guaranteed welfare, aid for dependent children, food stamps, housing subsidies, free healthcare, and, for many states, free in-state tuition and a free high-school education.  Regardless of the propositions passed by the people, even the state governments will find a way to continue and increase the pathways of redistribution.

These same redistribution channels are the vector for lifelong poverty, the enabler for illegitimate births (many by children themselves), the genesis of fatherless homes and the origin of the gang-land culture and its concomitant drug-businesses.  They act as an inhibitor to personal effort and result in an under-performing underclass of ignorant, illegitimate, criminal herds who perpetuate the sins of the fathers on their sons.

The whole time, good Christian people allow and encourage government largesse on the underprivileged as a way to salve their own consciences.  They knowingly disregarding nearly 70 years' of evidence that the affect of government handout is universally contrary to its goal.  And socialists and communists, who have no desire but to assure that all wealth is held in the government's accounts, enflame the guilt of the Anglo-Saxon Christian culture as a way to hasten government's eventual monopoly on wealth via taxes.

The criminal alien invader is only one visible symptom of the metastasized cancer in our society -- our own government and its willing accomplices in the leftist media.  The bursting prison populations are another.  Our unwillingness to win a war against an evil who wants to behead our children before our eyes is further evidence of a possibly terminal national disease.  The violent criminal drug gangs selling drugs on street corners from Portland, Maine to Portland, Washington is further evidence that we may have already lost the battle for our national soul.

And the fireman savagely stoking the firebox of the government steam-engine is my elected representative.  The coal in his shovel is my own labor, stolen by threat of bayonette or prison.  These same elected representatives, living on our money, going to parties, taking extended junkets, wearing suits we cannot afford, receiving gifts from people, and falling for the lies their handlers tell them, chastise us for our resistance to additional taxation and redistribution.  We, they say, are selfish.

I am selfish.  I want my home back.  The government says it belongs to them unless I pay annual duty to the city.  I want my own labor back.  They say they will throw me in prison if I don't work half the year for them.  I want my family back.  They tell me what my children must learn and how they must answer questions, even regarding our religious beliefs.  I want my life back.  They tell me I must move over to give an undeserving, unproductive, uneducated, and ill-prepared candidate my place in a) school, b) work, c) health care, d) or public office because of so-called racial disparity.

We have already lost so much to a gluttonous government that we might be fooled into believing that we don't have much more to lose.  We do.

I wonder, though, where we are on our barrel-trip down the Niagara.  At some point along the way, there's a long fall and no way to go back.  And we will be condemned to fall completely and churn, for an uncountable time, in the foam at the bottom of the falls.
