- “It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.”
Robert H. Jackson
- “Conservatives were brought up to hate deficits, and justifiably so. We’ve long thought there are two things in Washington that are unbalanced---the budget and the liberals.”
Ronald Reagan
- “Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened by responsibility.”
Sigmund Freud
- “A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.”
G. Gordon Liddy
- “So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”
Voltaire
Whereas some, blessed enough to live in America, think their time on Earth is some kind of spectator sport with free tickets and hotdogs, I like to think our time on Earth should be a series of challenges and rewards. The object is to understand that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win, but the journey, the act of applying yourself and behaving in a manner that is useful, is what we are on Earth to do. I believe the soul and every fiber of human life on Earth is here for an unlimited amount of potential to be seized by each individual's own actions---not by the actions of governments.
You will rarely hear a politician on either side of the aisle say anything to this effect:
“You should not rely so much on your government because you have every tool you need within yourself to succeed.”
The more educated, independent and driven a nation’s people are the less powerful their government is. Responsibility falls on us to keep our government in control. Too many of our politicians are like whiny, spoiled children who compulsively lie and create wakes of devastation that only a selfish child could not realize is destructive. The people of a nation are the guardians of their government and our current administration desperately needs to be disciplined.
