More Stinginess

To me, all the liberal carping about American stinginess is just another example of the failure of liberal thought. The most common complaint out there is that the United States did not give enough or reacted too slowly to the Tsunami in Asia. All of these complainers pin blame squarely on the government and ignore the private donations of private citizens from the United States. This is the failure of liberal thought, it's always the government's responsibility to do anything. What liberals forget is that ours is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. That means personal responsibility. That means when people in our country watch the news and they notice something horrific happen somewhere in the world, they respond and always do so more than appropriately. This counts as a contribution from this country and is the most genuine and generous response.

Ann Coulter's latest column takes on the typical liberal nonsense about American stinginess with facts and debunks the ludicrous theories used to come to conclusions like that. A good read and informative.
