The Fate of the Nation

“The fate of the nation in many respects is being argued in the Supreme Court this week during the Obamacare hearings. The Administration wants to fundamentally change the relationship between the citizen and the federal government by forcing a person to pay into a healthcare plan that they may not want. The individual will no longer have the power to make voluntary, free thinking decisions.”


Mark Levin - March 26th 2012


Most people do not understand just how much is at stake in these proceedings. This is not just about health care; it is about every American’s individual freedoms and ability to make choices for themselves.

Unnecessary Government Growth

“If we look to the answer as to why, for so many years, we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here, in this land, we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.

It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We are not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.”

From Ronald Reagan’s First Inaugural Address

The Fall of Democracy

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

America on the slide part 1

It has been quite a while since I posted anything, but, for what it is worth, here are my thoughts - not that my voice will have any effect on what is happening in our country.
First let me say that I am not some conspiracy guy; however, when I look at what has happened to our country, I can fully understand why some people are. We are literally losing our country. America is at (or perhaps past) the tipping point and so few people seem to see it or understand the seriousness of it. If we continue down the road we are on now, the America that we have known - the America that our forefathers fought for - will be gone. This is not something that has suddenly come upon us, although it has accelerated at a breathtaking pace these last few years. It has been a very slow, very deliberate process and instead of standing up and saying no, we conservatives have continually compromised; we continually allow the left to not only define the game, but we also allow them to define who we are.
Why is it so hard for conservatives to communicate what we really believe? I am not talking about people like Rush or Hannity, who do speak up (although, unfortunately, all too often their message is lost because of their continual chest thumping), but about our supposedly conservative politicians. Why are they continually compromising? Continually giving up ground? We never get it back. Even if our compromise is only slight, it is movement in the wrong directions that we never get back. It all ends up part of a slow slide towards the destruction of our republic. The left is very deliberate and very patient. We thought we won the healthcare battle in the nineties, guess what? WE LOST THE WAR. It came back, and do you honestly think it will ever be fully repealed? By who, Obama? Romney? The house or senate? I don't think so. I am not saying they won't make adjustments, try to "make it better" but it is not going away - not without a true knock-down-drag-out fight, and I am not sure that republicans have the stomach for it. This is only the tip of the ice berg; republicans do this all the time - give, give, give.
More to come.
