Sacrifice

  Normally at this time of day, I have reached my breaking point of earth shattering news from the Obama administration. But today, as I read the headlines, I realized that it is not only the Obama administration who are pushing us away from our reality, but that we have allowed ALL forms of government to slowly push our control of them away, as they become more powerful and SELF-CONTROLLING by the day. Where did all of this government control come from? How much does the government need to take from you as an individual before you decide to take some form of drastic action? Do they need to take your home, your money, or even your beliefs from you before you take action?


   It does not seem that today’s youth know the meaning of the word “sacrifice.” It appears that you and I would have an easier time making children believe that Martians had landed than we would of getting them to grasp the sacrifices our founding fathers made to establish this great country. We have allowed a new class of people into our social system. A class we refer to as “Politicians.” You see, when this country was founded, our leaders were made up of our peers. These were men who had worked as farmers, and trappers. Our governing body was made up of men who endured the same struggles and hardships of life that their neighbors had endured. They were common people who were, in turn, elected to represent other common people. These men led a revolution against a monarchy that had no association with the common man. They stood up to a governing body that over-taxed the working man. Doesn’t anyone remember the Boston Tea Party? This whole ordeal was about a tax that finally “broke the camel’s back.”

   Americans have allowed politicians to institute laws that do nothing more than protect the rights of other politicians. This type of government ultimately breeds a body without boundaries. Ask yourself this; “If the new Health-Care Bill is going to be so good for you and I, then why have the politicians of both parties allowed a clause to be written that excludes the politicians from having to participate?” Isn’t this a HUGE RED FLAG to you? Our president, Congress, Senate, etc... Will be exempt from participation that is MANDATORY for you and I if this is passed into law. WHY you ask? Because this Health-Care is NOT a good thing for the common people. It is not good for anyone except the politicians and their special interest groups that will ultimately profit from the government getting into the insurance industry.

1. Government run Health Care

2. Government run Auto Industry

3. Government run Banking

   I personally can’t think of any three things in our country that make more money. This is the primary reason the politicians want to get their hands into these industries. It is not genuine help full of “real concern” for you and I. It is, instead, a giant leap towards a socialist society. Politicians should be elected from the working class people to govern their peers. They should partake in the same laws that they deem “reasonable” for you and I. I personally would be ashamed to show the founding fathers of our country how we have managed to destroy and totally disrespect the sacrifices that they made for us. We need a government “By the People” and “For the People” as our forefathers intended.
