Voting for SPLOST is just more liberalism

Vote No for SPLOST and vote No for liberals

Chris Burdette strikes again with his liberal line of thought and more whining about those who oppose SPLOST.

If we had real conservatives on the board of education, we would not be voting on the SPLOST. A person is not a conservative because of their dislike or disgust of Bill Clinton. A person is a conservative because of their desire to have limited government. True conservatives want limited federal government, limited state government and limited local government which include severely limited taxes.

A person is a conservative because of their dislike of liberalism and liberalism's deceptive tactics. The easiest way to identify a liberal is by their use of the term “the children.” For a person to say they don't have any choice except to vote for a tax increase for “the children” reeks of liberalism.

While Fayette County and the cities within her limits are having problems with overpopulation and overdevelopment, the far greater problem is liberalism, the liberalism of bigger government. Liberals believe more government and bigger government is better for the common good. They believe your money is not your money but your money is their money to be spent on whatever programs they desire. Liberals legally steal your money in the form of taxes.

When are the citizens of Fayette County and the state of Georgia going to stand up and say no to more taxes? When are the citizens going to stand up and say no to the federal government, say no to the state government, say no to the county government and say no to the city government? When are the citizens going to stand up and tell the board of education they are sick of their children being socialized and not educated?

The time is now. Wake up, citizens, or lose your liberty. To many citizens have become socialistic addicts by smoking the liberal crack pipe. Start the revolution now by voting no SPLOST.
