I sit here and read everyday the complex problems that face America.
We all have different views of how this country should be run, taxed, working rights and or trade agreements the level of involvement government has in our lives.

I love America and still hope it will give everyone a chance to pursue their dreams and find their happiness working in any job that fits their needs at that time in their lives.
America is full of companies small and large, who are run by responsible people and think about their fellow American's and its employees and some companies who could care less.
We have had corporations and lobbyists in Washington helping to write bills that benefit them in the form of tax breaks, laws that destroy their competition, and immgrantion laws undermining our workforce.

Because government and its elected people for so long ignored the general principles of free markets and corruption of government's power we have created a economic and social disaster. Groups from race to religion look for handouts, benefits all in the name power to political parties and the welfare state. Nothing is more important then an honest person, a kind and understanding person to the cause of liberty. Congress should be filled with the truth and instead we find it full of lies, corruption and power over the individuals liberty was once a honorable principle to defend.

With true freedom the only thing that would stop progress would be the government supposedly created to protect it. We the people killed our freedoms by electing idiots and less then honorable men and women. These people were running on what they can give you and not what they won't give you via some special interest, self serving, re-electing pro corporate transfer of collective power.

Those in Washington with all their "good intentions" have eroded the self will of American people to the dependancy and complacency of indifference. Generally we care but those who so passionately care about one subject lose the sight of the transferred power to the elite defining everyone's fate. Call me crazy but the less anyone has power the better chance everyone can adjust and find better solutions to problems and challenges America faces.

Sometimes I think our brains are so full of the daily dose of controls and regulations that is all we know. We can't let loose of the religions and social and economic ties that control our human nature to lash out and use force change at the expense of individual liberty. Our government was created to protect individual freedoms and choices and people with the rights listed in the constitution would hopefully continue to remove the chains that bind our minds to government power. From the revolution to the minority rights and women rights to vote let it always be part of our defining moments in America. These events called us together fighting for our independence against REAL injustice and limited government power.

Now lets talk about Today.
Today we are broke, we think and hold on to controlling and understand the rest of the world in our view. We put troops in 170 countries and have 700 bases and give money away to stabilize, destabilize and move nations to fit the model that fits our interests. We prop up dictators, thugs, drug lords and somehow the American people think this works. Are you not shamed of what your country has become. Can you look at the news and watch this country and its government fund this insanity. This is not, nor has it ever been freedom. You must trust in the individuals goal to be free first, let other countries define their own freedom and or form of government and be vigilante to preserve our liberty at home. Be strong in your defense at home but keep your mouth and wallets closed via tax dollars to issues and problems we have no constitutional and individual responsibility for.
Nobody should be getting anything other then what you earn, electing those who know the difference and when corporations, groups of races and or economic and and religions organizations come knocking you tell them the constitution is not for sale and individual liberties will not be hampered.
This is all coming to an end, we can not sustain something that never should have been. The ideas of tying ourselves to other men, business, and choices is self destruction on a mass scale. We will have no travel, economic liberty with higher living costs managed and controlled by government.
Often it is said we need an common enemy to keep the country together and moving forward. I am starting to think its the very government who was created to protect our freedoms. You have only 2 options soon. 1. Accept the fate that has been decided for you by those who have no care or understanding of your free will. 2. Resist, resist all attempts to be controlled, told how and or why you must SETTLE for second best, told you can only be apart of a group to be your own person. You can be only have worker rights when you the worker have options. So many options in the work force the idea of losing your job and or the oppressive hours will not be manged and or purchased by political and corporate power. In a free market choices make business cringe and government power controls less effective over your individual happiness.
We should never have groups telling you how to live your life at the expensive of everyone's life. Failed ideology that fixes nothing other then governments reason to play "we know what is best for you", From the war on drugs. the war on poverty, to the war on terror be humble, reject government that infringes on your privacy and your life choices. Be responsible and make those who are irresponsible in their CHOICES that HURT others RESPONSIBLE IN THE LAW. Understand your rights and execute them.
I know I am asking alot of you but when you look at each side of every post ignore the party, ignore the names, ignore the hate. Do they make the argument of liberty, unrestricted, responsibility to individual rights or do they just want another form of control to their impulses based on race, economic and social differences. Free your minds, I ask nothing of you other then your chance to see liberty first and when you do elect those are vigilante to protect it.
