Front page of the 06-May-2008 San Diego Union Tribune in an article titled States join call for gas tax relief we have this quote for Florida's Republican Governor Charles Crist:
It's about trying to serve the people and trying to understand and have caring, compassionate hearts for what they're dealing with at the kitchen table... I'm supposed to respond to the people and try to make them happy
Ugh. Just like Democrats Gov. Crist's remarks separate him from others in his state ("the people", "they", "them"). Then to add even more evidence of their leftward march he states that he is "supposed to... try to make them happy". Sad. Very sad. It was my understanding that we as citizens have the right to pursue happiness ala the Declaration of Independence, but for someone, especially an elected official, to feel like they have to make people happy? As any good therapist knows, others cannot make you happy, only you can make you happy. Until we get out this entitlement type of mindset we will never honestly address the ills of our society.
