I Haven't Changed, You Have

Us, so called tea-baggers have taken alot of heat in the media lately. Why? Because we are against change and everything that made America what it is today. Really? I don't think change should include taking people's rights away from them or the redistribution of wealth. Hmmm.. redistribution of wealth to me always meant socialism. Something America would never stand for, until now. :( If an individual works hard they deserve the reward, not the government.

Socialism is the redistribution of wealth to elevate the poor, regardless of work ethic and bring down business, profits and go-getters under government control. Therefore, businesses will eventually close or be subsidised and individuals will have no incentive to succeed. Which in turn, makes everyone equal without the opportunity to create their own destiny due to government taxes and regulation. No country in history has ever recovered their world dominance with these policies. The lazy part of society will be ok but what does that do to the economy? The economy will have to be controlled by the government.

We all know the government is the best business model out there. ;) How many people like the IRS? Only the people that work there I assume unless you're one of those special interest groups. How do we let government personal voted by the people get away with this? They get away with it using your empathy.

Empathies, such as, shouldn't everyone have healthcare? Global warming- unproven science but don't you care about the earth? Illegal immigration - shouldn't everyone have the chance to succeed? Minorities- regardless of qualification, shouldn't we give the minority a chance over the more experienced candidate?

These are just a few examples how the radical politicians play on your instinctual feelings. Instinctual feelings do not grow or succeed without government intervention, which as stated before, squash individual liberty.

Please help me in the charge to restore liberty, not in the way of violence but at the voting booth. Look at Venezuela, socialist regime, they just imprisoned someone who spoke out against the government. Is that what you want? Is that America? That's what happens under government-controlled societies.

We Are America, Founded For Individual Liberty

We are America, the best country on earth. How did we get this way? We got this way by striving to be the best we can be. We didn't hinder individual liberty. We didn't stifle business with government control or outrageous taxes. This great country created an oasis for the individual to create a better society without tyranny.

Americans are one of a kind but apparently certain, control-freak politicians want to UN-Americanize us into something we are not. These politicians want to make us like most countries in the world, reliant on the the government. I don't want to be held down, I want the chance to succeed, work hard and reap the benefits. Why can't America be the last best hope on earth for individual freedom and personal decision making? Is it due to control of the rich, by hindering competition? Is it just the Saul Alinsky radicals with the" great society" sympathies? Whatever it is, it is very discouraging for individual freedom.

We must make sure we keep standing tall and deflect tyranny from which ever direction it comes from. America is a proud nation that will never give into giving up freedom and constitutional rights. What scares me is the rise of a population from whom don't pay any attention to their personal rights. My fellow Americans we must stay strong, for our fore-fathers and military brethren did not fight for socialism or "we know what's best" societies. Let us not give into hard times and lose all we fought for and created. We are America, stand free and put your boot straps on.

Why the Wealthy Left Is For Government Programs

I've always wondered why the wealthy left is for public health care, cap and trade and liberty- stiffling programs. I believe I have the answers. The Beverly Hills, park avenue crowd has already made their wealth. Opportunity for individuals in the present day is at the back of their minds. Their main focus is how to help the so called "under-privileged." They do not understand that individuals in today's world deserve the same opportunity they received making their strides for success. If that opportunity is missing, the rich stay rich and the poor remain poor with basic generic care to keep them afloat with an inhibited chance to succeed.

Now it makes sense. They do not care if other individuals have the opportunity to succeed. The wealthy have already made their money and perhaps feel guilty of their earnings while stating and thinking the poor folks have struggled. Cap and trade is a prime example of this non-American ideology. Certain politicians and wealthy people stand to make millions with this program while the average Joe gets laid off and the wealthy with the dough,clean house with the investment made on inconclusive scientific evidence at the taxpayer's expense. Not so poor friendly, huh?

All I want is the same opportunity which have made the wealthy successful. The wealthy left need to quit being benign to the "want to be successful American" and allow the same chances they received through the free-market which will not happen in government controlled programs. If you feel bad for the poor, create charities beyond a tax write-off but don't tread on my chance to succeed in the process.

Massachusettes, Welcome Back To The USA!

Massachusetts totally took me off guard. One of the most liberal states in the country, took a step back and saw problems ahead in a far left controlled senate. Kudos to Mass. for doing what is best for the country. Liberal rederick and political strategizing was defeated. If it happened in Mass., think about what will happen in many other states that leaned liberal the last election. Change is on the horizon and it is change I CAN BELIEVE IN, change for the preservation of America. Change for keeping many things the same that made this country prosper for so many years.

Opportunity, choice and individual liberty won this week. May we always stay strong as the founding fathers dreamed. We are the last beacon of hope for many countries on earth. We always stated as citizens of this great country, "I thank my lucky stars that I was born in the USA." Let's keep it that way.

Senator Brown, nice victory but we will be watching that you honor your commitment and do what's best for the country and not what's best for your pocket. For you were voted by the people for the people. May the people always control the government for the preservation of the constitution and this great land.

Victory! Step #1 has been accomplished for the preservation of this great country for my children and grandchildren. Anytime transformations are being proposed to take the USA from it's powerful position, we will rise defiantely with individual liberty to preserve what so many veterans fought and died for.
