Don’t even go there. This has nothing to do with my supposed lack of compassion for the downtrodden, the poor, the deadbeats, the homeless, or even the illegals who are in a special category all of their own. We have at least two hundred Socialists as well as the ACLU and their kids in this city that make up for anything I lack in the compassion department.What this is about is the beginning of handing over our city to every needy group in the universe. Next we will have the entire country of Haiti invited to live here. Who in the heck gave us the right to turn over city buildings or city property to any group because we have commissioners who are bleeding hearts? Who? Oh, you say it is a greater power that our commissioners answer to. They answer to us, the taxpayer.
What this is about is Socialism. Socialism has been a dismal failure throughout the world and those who seem to believe in its doctrine are a lot of intellectuals, the educated, and the social planners who want to tell us what is best for us. They want to take my chips. They want to take what you have worked hard to get and give it to someone who doesn’t want to work and just wants a handout. They feel guilty that they have a pot to pee in and the other person doesn’t. They have told me that I should come back as a Guatemalan in my next life implying that I just don’t understand their plight. My response was, I would come to the U.S. legally.
What this is also about are Commissioners losing focus as to what they are elected to do in this city. One of our Socialistic Commissioners stated the reason she voted for a management company at the golf course was because we have more important issues to deal with in our City. This is what we elect our officials to do—make the tough decisions that are in the best interest of our citizens, maintain our property, be fiscally responsible and not make decisions that are adversarial to the welfare of our taxpayers. The golf course is one of our most important assets--200 acres of pristine waterfront property. It is very important that we make the right decision here. This company wants a four year contract. Did anyone have a copy of it? Were there any other companies bidding on this management deal?
We are becoming more and more of a welfare state. Just because you were born does not give you the right to have it all. Here in this country you are given all the rights under our Constitution. Everyone is given the tools to become successful just by being citizens here. There is nothing in our Constitution that says we need to take it all from those who worked hard and were productive and give it all to the poor. That was Robin Hood.
