Big Brother came late but he's here.

I'm beginning to feel that our country is at a crossroads in our history. Will the good people of this country allow America to become socialist and in so doing become dependent on government control of our most basic needs? Will hard working citizens bring home less and less pay so that the government can waste most of it and feed the rest back to the lazy. Will our health and our old age become nothing more than a statistic for analysts to use in determining what services we warrant ......and what service we will be denied? Maybe it won't be as up front as a death counselor but more or less the same.

This country has always shown compassion for those truly in need and we did it under a capitalist system. We have our share of people who fall through the cracks and we've always tried to help those who want to help themselves. Isn't it time that some focus be given to the 90% of the population that do the right thing? Let us have less government intervention in our lives, let the free market work, let companys fail if they must and let good ideas bring great rewards. Let America go back to being America and it will fix itself far better than the politicians now running things.

Soon I may not even be able to do this blog. It appears our President is attempting to acquire power that would allow him to shut down the internet ! Well.............I guess Al Gore will get upset about that since he created the internet, or so he claims.

Today I heard that over 400 New York car dealers dropped out of the Cash for Clunkers program. Seems like they were laying out the $4,500.00 but not getting paid the government. I guess eventually they would have....after they were out of business ! This is such a great example of why we don't want the government involved in our health care choices more than they already are. It's also a testament to the fact that logic can prevail once people are screwed with (sorry) enough.

America is not dead just yet

Not too long ago I was beginning to think that it was. Our government was taken over by a man who didn't seem to like America very much. To him we are not only a bully nation but a nation that allows economic disparity between people. But we know better....don't we. We know that everyone should have the chance to succeed more than his neighbor. Incentive, competition, rewards and hard work are all part of the old capitalist America. The New America would have us all the same, except of course for the ruling class. I was giving up hope that our old values would survive. But recent events, fueled by the absurd health care proposals coming out of our capital, have motivated people to stand up and speak out. Perhaps this is the beginning of a return to greatness. We certainly can't stop the pressure until we have our country back.
