Time For The Voters To Choose !!

The time has come for voters to decide whether or not they want a bigger and bigger government such as those in Europe or do they want an America as the founding Fathers believed in.  First lets eliminate the obvious argument which seems to pop up each time the Founding Fathers come up. NO we do not want to support slavery once again. The constitution has made that provision permanent.  Except for those who believe the government should take care of them , they stand a better chance of becoming slaves to the government than this nation was in 1776, the rest of us believe that it is individual responsibility that makes this nation great. Which European nation has been more influential in the world than the US, in recent history? Which nation in all History has been more influential in the world, who  did not take territory from their “conquests”?  Which country has given more to the world, in terms of money or blood for other nations than the US?  Now is the time for voters to decide which direction is best for this nation. Do we want ot follow the form of government as in European Socialism or do we want to return to greatness we once had in this world.  Do we want ot depend on the government for our survival or do we trust that we can take care of ourselves and maintain the individual freedom and accomplishments of the past and dreams for a brighter future?                            There are those on the liberal side who would want you to believe that you can not take care of your self. Observe how the current administration is trying to control even what you eat, as they regulate salt, calories at fast food restaurants,  fat and school lunches. Look how the administration tries to control how you spend your money and control what businesses can do with your investments. The Founding Fathers did not trust big government which is why the included Article X to limit what the federal government could do. They realized any government big enough to give you anything you need would be big enough to take everything you have. As Ronald Reagan said so well , government is not the answer to the problems government is the problem. Look at the LBJ’s “War on Poverty” as an example. It started in 1965 and has spent between 5 and 7 trillion dollars. In 2005 the amount was 1.056 trillion twice as much as was spent on defense. YET most reports indicate we still have poverty and many report it is worse by as many as 7 million more people in poverty. Any government program that failed this badly would generally be under fire to be dropped.  No ONE would allow this government to fight a war that long and that expensive that showed no results. Yet we have a political party whose base is the voters that are dependent on government entitlements. Look at the uproar when the State of California tried to balance an out of control budget. Every entitlement group protested cut to their programs. The only solution they would give is increase taxes. In any household responsible adults realize in a financial crisis cuts have to be made and they often are painful. For some reason the entitlement mentality of society can not reach that same conclusion. They believe that those who are earning a good income and achieving their goals should be made to share with the rest. They seem to believe that big government is the god of the people and will provide their housing and even gas for their cars. The one fact that they don’t get is that the bigger the government gets the less freedom the people get. The evidence is all around us yet it goes unnoticed. The TEA Party and the conservative movements are joining the cause to control government and the truth is the majority of the voters do not approve of this kind of out of control government. The question remains is are the votes ready to get informed and vote responsibly to turn the direction this country is going around or will they just accept what the current administration is doing and go along for the ride while we join the European Socialist countries as a third world country.  The first question that then needs to be asked is which European country would you prefer to live like?
