The 'Unequal' Birthday Party

Years ago, I heard a true story that was told by one of our pastors. It was about a child's birthday party, where one of the children who were at this party wanted to be the center of attention.

The child whose birthday was being celebrated was acknowledged and honored because it was his birthday. One of the little friends was not happy though. He wanted presents too. He wanted the attention that was being shown to the birthday boy. He carried on and showed anger because he didn't have the same amount of glorification as the boy who was celebrating his birthday. Finally, an adult explained to him that 'it's not your birthday'.

I don't know how this child responded or if he was just immature and missed the point of the birthday celebration for a classmate. But isn't that how we feel sometimes? Those of us who are older and have gone through years of birthday parties usually figure out that its ok for us to be happy for other people who were celebrating their birthdays. We could be happy because the birthday celebrant opened the present we brought for him or her. But when you are 5 years old, sometimes this concept is hard to understand.

There is a common theme though, between the 5 year old selfish child and the thinking of the Liberals today.

I have to wonder how Liberals would think about the birthday party? Since we know that the Liberals are basically Socialists, and we know that Socialists believe that everyone is equal in everything and every way, how would they look at this birthday party?

Here is my thought; I think they would be like the little boy who expected to be treated and honored in the same way that the Birthday Boy was. In fact, all the children at the birthday party should have been honored and given presents. It is not fair that one person should be honored. After all, that action of honoring is empowering to someone. The Birthday Boy was honored. He was empowered. He could become a bully. The other children were potentially becoming victims. Everyone must be treated the same.

You probably think this sounds like nonsense? I would encourage you to study what the Socialists actually believe in. They so strongly believe that everyone has to be equal. No one gets any more honor or recognition than another. Those who do not get recognition, are recognized as victims.

So, at this child's birthday party, all kids get presents. All of the children are sung to when the first note of "Happy Birthday" is being sung. If any games were played, everyone wins a prize. There is no winner, remember.
