Raise Your Voice

, , , ...

Since the policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt , we, as a society, and individual people have become ever more dependent upon the government to fix our social problems. Unfortunately, the only thing that government seems to be truly efficient at is creating more government. We, as a people, need to work within our communities, to improve our world. Do things like plant a community or neighborhood-shared garden. Trade labor instead of dollars. Get independent. Help your neighbor learn how. Teach them a skill. Encourage them to go to school. Tell them that they can help make the world a better place instead of depending on the government to do it. Convince them it is possible.
“What if they don’t like politics? Well, there are ways to get involved without being a part of the political machine. Volunteer for a Christian organization. Help at a daycare or local school. Mentor someone. Take your power back by getting informed and getting educated. The liberty that the people of this nation are losing is not being taken by force it; an apathetic populace is giving it away because they do not understand what they have. Nor treasure it as closely as they could have. As we slip more and more towards a kind of "pseudo-socialism,” instead of the freedom loving embrace of capitalism the need for the voice of the passionate population of the nation needs desperately to be heard. Raise your voice, and your hand in support of America and your fellow man.

The Enigma

We Don't Want Your Damn Socialist Government

, , , ...

Especially after Obama's speech last night, I believe we rely too heavily on government intervention to solve all our problems. Here where we are sick of it. Check out this video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qqGyAVfxM That man was mad when he pointed at Senator Merkley and told him he was marching on Washington to tell them "We don't want your socialist government."

TANF, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, WIC, public school systems and government bailouts of private banks and corporations. Doesn’t this in some ways take away from our creativity to solve the problem on our own? Jefferson said “Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition [thiers].” I believe it does because we know that the government is going to step in and guide things. To most this means, we just sit back and let the government drive. So they decide where we go. I believe if things are going to be changed so we can accomplish what needs to be done, it is vital that the government takes a step back and the American people sit down into the driver seat for a while. No one knows better what needs to be accomplished than the people that are living their lives within society everyday. You know, that old of the people, by the people, for the people kind of thing where the people actually solve some of their own problems? We must get behind the wheels of our businesses and lives and make the choices we know need to be made and get this country moving again! On the road, people!!!!
