His name is Norman Podhoretz. He served
as editor-in-chief of Commentary magazine
for 30 years. He has written twelve books, including My Love Affair With America. He says that the Republicans constitute
the party of liberty and the Democrats have become the party of redistribution.
In his opinion, the Democrats assume that the gap between rich and poor amounts
to a violation of social justice. But this assumption rules out the role of
talent, character, ambition, initiative, daring, and work in producing
unequal outcomes in the “pursuit of happiness”.
Podhoretz says that what liberals see
when they look at America is injustice and oppression crying out for redress.
By sharp contrast, conservatives see a complex tradition of principles that
animated the American Revolution and have made it possible for more freedom and
more prosperity to be enjoyed by more citizens than in any other society in
human history. I could not agree more. We are a republic, not a democracy. And we do not want to become a socialist or
communist country. For gosh sakes, please vote Republican. At this time in our
history, I believe it is crucial for the future of our country!
