I have to say it for all the hooplah being thrown around about healthcare and the European style policies of this phony administration everything that is going bad in this country seems to have one common thread.
Todays Democrat Party is a product of an apathic view on the role of personal responsibility. The GOP is not any better when it comes to promoting responsible stewardship in maintaining our republic.
I said it before 9/11 when presidential candidate Al Gore told us we needed $5/gallon gasoline in America as a measure of fairness with the rest of the world. Eventhough most Americans disagreed with his ignorant statments about fairness for a time at least most still supported his 'green' intatives to the same end. To which I said this is a spoiled rotten society and we need a big black eye as a wake up call.
Now the same crowd who bought into the idea that we can 'save the planet' wants to nationalize our system of healthcare. Whats strikes me is the math in all of this. We never reached $5/gallon gas but when we got to around what appeared to be the breaking point of $4/gallon that was when the equations became obvious to even those of frail conviction. Our economic environment is not unlike any other type of coexisting principles; when the one species is in decline another overpopulates and can threaten the entire structure.
In reality there should only be about 2-4% of the population receiving government because they are the only ones who trully need it to survive. Sadly the actual toll of Americans on the take is about 45% and increasing with every new Democrat proposal. Most people will line up and prioritize their lives based on the free cheese in the maze of life. When the energy they expend to do so could be much more productive to their own existence.
Rush Limbaugh is wrong about the upper 10% of earners and his Al Gore like theory that they pay all the taxes however. Sure he can draw that conclusion looking only through his prism of 'fact'. But the harmful effects of the one big thing he leaves out is an absolute; that is the upper 10% owns or owns most of the stock holdings in American corporations whose labor roles are staffed by illegal immigrants. The obvious conclusion is these aliens introduce a false labor market that severly limits earnings of lower to middle income earners because they don't pay or file taxes. When tradesmen go from making an adverage of $50k/year in the 70's to making $30k in todays market it doesn't take half a brain figure out the consequences.
What this country needs more than any one thing right now is a law making most charitys illegal and to make those who are allowed to continue because of a proven record completely and publically transparent. The waste that rises in the wake of the phony do gooder mentallity is mind blowing. Futhermore we need to cut half of all funding to public education in order to condition the children we seek to educate in a frame of mind centered on reality. Instead of providing everything for them put that responsibility on their parents which in turn will foster it's own invaluable lessons.
If Jesus were to visit and teach in today's churches I can't help but think he would turn the tables on the Rick Warrens of the world. He would blast the Catholic church for the same and remind all the 'super Christians' of what it says in His Word. He might recite the words written in James 4:4 to those who believe in 'global warming' and give them the ultimatum of everlasting proportions. He would tell the LDS Mormons, Scientologist, and the JW's to read 1 John 9-11 and debunk their false prophets. God didn't tell Elijah to turn the other cheek on Mount Carmel, he didn't have 'green concerns' in ordering the plagues on Egypt or flooding the globe.
So many of our problems are self imposed out of a sense of entitlement and excess. Americans envious of the sucesses of other see no harm in regulating the progress of humanity on the basis of a fairy tale solution.
