Where is your head at?

The media loves to take us Americans on rabbit trails, trails that lead nowhere. For instance, what are you thinking about today? Obama? whether he is Christian or Muslim, does he take too many vacations? How about the possibility that there may be a Mosque built near Ground Zero? Sure, these are topics worth mulling over and having an opinion on but, in the end where do arguments about these issues get you? Does mulling these hot topics give you more freedom, increase individual freedoms, allow you to keep more of your earnings? No.

I, like many am not immune to getting hot under the collar when stories like these come up. In the mean time the Government is growing at an unprecedented rate, and when the Government grows the people that established it, lose freedom. I do say people but it is the person that I care about the most, the individual. Throughout history when the individual is swallowed into a collective it breeds only failure.

If one looks at what is happening in this country with a clear mind, forgetting all of the stories of the day, one will see that things are being done on your behalf (by a growing centralized Government that circumvents the Constitution at every turn) without your permission or even a thought of what it does to your, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The "Collective", "Greater Good" or "Social Justice" are terms and ideals that are no where to be found in the Constitution, and there is a reason they are not.

I try to keep things as simple as possible. If a policy or agenda does not increase my freedom as an individual, I oppose it. There are no gray areas, no anecdotal stories, no emotional arguments. Less freedom for me? I disagree, period.

When our Representatives are taking the property of one group of citizens to subsidize another group, this not only creates Class Warfare, it is in Direct Opposition to the Constitution and the vision the Founding Father's had for this Country. As a matter of fact, (a term liberals shy away from like a Vampire to light) that is the very reason the United States of America was formed.

So keep it simple. If your rights and freedoms as an INDIVIDUAL are not increased by the policies that are being crammed down your throat, Oppose Them.
