Define "conundrum"

The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.
 
*Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America: *
 

 

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is
subsidized.
 
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
 
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the
government.
 
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting
poorer.
 
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other
countries only dream about.
 
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet
they want America to be more like those other countries.
 
Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the
21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
 
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our
current government and cultural environment:
 
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few
lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a
few lunatics.
 
Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering...
 
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out
of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of
money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but
the second didn't.
 
Think about it.....and Last but not least:
 
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our
military and cutting our army but we are not stopping the payments or
benefits to illegal aliens.
 
*Am I the only one missing something?*

"God Save the Republic." November 4th was the first step backward from the deep abyss we have been facing for too many years.

That was so well put that I took a screen shot of it and am passing it on to at least 10 people tonight!

Well said!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)
