I just read it myself, really interesting read, great thoughts. Near the end though, there is a fatal flaw, in my opinion, in the writer's thinking:
"I am a liberal. I believe that those of us who are able to produce abundance have a moral duty to provide basic food, shelter, and medical care for those who cannot care for themselves."
Fair enough. Mentally/Physically disabled people, the old, the sick, children, I can get behind this statement.
"I believe we have this duty even to those who can care for themselves but don’t."
That's where they lose me and most Americans.
That's the main difference between Liberals and Conservatives, in a nutshell.
I think it's precisely this attitude of Liberals, "we have a duty to care for those who can care for themselves but don't", is why they are a destructive force to anyone they "bless" with this toxic/poisonous form of love and compassion, if you want to call it that.
