Conscience of a Conservative: Way back when some newspapers did tell the truth.

Way back when some newspapers did tell the truth.

Just got this interesting email from one of my contributors. Its a newspaper clipping from 1949. This was on the editorial page of the New York Daily News. Way back then a Welfare State was something held in contempt, just like Mitt Romney suggested in that viral video about the 47%. This is so old that many people reading this blog hadn't even been born yet. I'm sure you'll all find it interesting since it seems to have become the theme song of Barack Hussein Obama's Democratic Socialist Party.

About this blog

Defending the Constitution.

Our country was created as a Constitutional Republic, a nation of laws, held together by the fabric of the Constitution. The Constitution limits the powers of the government while the first ten amendments, called The Bill of Rights, guarantee the rights of We The People.

Defending the Republic.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” —The Declaration of Independence—July 4th, 1776.
