Seventy and Still Learning

I am always confused when a major news channel posts a stupid comment by an obviously Right Wing news commentator.  It is OK to disagree.  It is OK to have a different opinion.  but when Navarett says that Obama is confusing because he advocates a combination of Government help with personal responsibility I have to say:….”Stupid is Stupid.”  A very smart man once said that if you only have two choices, then you have non.  (and if you need explanation for this comment then…)  Personal responsibility for one’s action does not ever conflict with the Government’s willingness to help.  And sometimes it is the little bit of help that can make all the difference.  A drowning person may have all the personal responsibility and ability to swim, but may run out of energy before he reaches the shore.  A little help from a lifeguard is enough to save his life.  Just a thought:  Since when is collective help wrong.  Did the government help the banks when they were about to fail?  Did the government help Chrysler when the company needed help?  One can go down a long list of bail outs to large companies but that, to the “conservatives”, is OK because it saves the A__ of the stock holders and the larger investors.  The “little” guy does not count and letting the little person drown is no big deal in the bigger picture.   Shame on you Mr. Ruben Navarrette Jr. , I hope you never need help from anyone so that you won’t have to eat your words in public.
