I would like to use an analogy to compare for you conservatism versus liberalism:

Every two weeks, I visit Florida's Blood Centers in Ocala. There, they stick a needle into each of my arms and I lie there immobilized for anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half while they draw platelets. The machine draws blood from one arm, removes the platelets, then returns the platelet-less blood to the other arm.

I have been donating blood for over thirty years; whole blood for the first twenty and platelets for the past ten or so. I do not receive any accolades really nor do I seek any (Florida Blood Services gives you a t-shirt and Florida's Blood Centers gives you a gift card to Darden Restaurants and, occasionally, a $10 gas card). I do it to help people with blood disorders.

Now for the analogy...supposing that Barack Obama MANDATES that EVERYONE submit to having a needle stuck into each arm every two weeks to have a unit of platelets removed. How do you think that you would like having THE GOVERNMENT telling you that you MUST give blood or face some sort of penalty?

Methinks that most of you wouldn't be too keen on the idea.

Now tell me, dear people, how this differs from the government TAKING BY FORCE a third of your pay and giving it to people that supposedly NEED it worse than you do? Of course, this includes "the poor" that are unable to provide for themselves, and, if you elect Osama, "FREE" medical care, "FREE" college educations, ad nauseum.

YOU THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU PULL THE LEVER FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
