Founders Wisdom – Still True and Valid Today

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not" – Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

A warning, from over 200 years ago, about becoming an entitlest society, or if you prefer a Socialist State . In the simplest terms, if you are given something you value it less; then you come to expect it. I have seen in my relatives and constantly do battle with myself over it in some things. We have to hold people responsible. I call it “taking responsibility for your own misery”. There are examples where we can compassionately help people get off the welfare rolls. Former Governor Tommy Thompson of Wisconsin is one of them with his welfare to work program.


"Industry is increased, commodities are multiplied; agriculture and manufacturers flourish; and herein consists of the true wealth and prosperity of a state." - Alexander Hamilton, report of a National Bank 1790.

Widsom from 220 years ago, still valid today. The way to prosperity for this Country is through small business. Small business cannot get there with the heavy burden of unnecessary government regulation, ridiculous health care mandates, extremely high Worksmen Compensation insurance costs and unfair taxation. These small businesses will not expand, and, will let workers go in order to keep the business afloat. Obamacare and the pending Cap & Trade legislation will kill small business.


“There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” - James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788.

The growth of today’s government under the Obama Administration is unprecedented. The growth of government power and the growth of spending is unlike anything in the history of the world for any country and will surely destroy this Great Country if it doesn’t change and change now.

Catching Obama Lying,....Again

Text and video from The Raw Deal

(video courtesy Greensboring.com) In the video, Obama explains how his Father, when returning from World War II, was treated properly. Obama was speaking to veterans at the time. Truly, he takes ‘appeal to your audience’ to a whole new level.

A 3-year-old soldier. Impressive. It was September 1st [1939] when Nazi Germany first invaded Poland. Obama’s father would have been three at the time. Facts truly are stubborn things. Perhaps what’s most interesting about the verbal ‘misstep’ is the ease and sincerity at which he pulls it off. Kinda makes you wonder what else he might be lying about…..

Wait a minute, maybe Obama's father was a drummer boy?

Common Sense of Range Magazine - Keeping Track of the Radical Environmentalists

I am a avid reader of Range Magazine, not just because it showcases the ranching and self sustaining western lifestyle, cowboy logic and horse sense, but it also brings to focus political issues such as the liberal political assault on our freedoms, radical environmentalist driven restrictions on land use, as well as the radical and unfounded babble about climate change.

In the latest edition of Range Magazine, Summer 2010, the editors expose plans by the USDA to further reduce this country's ability to feed itself. We used to build things for the world as well as feed them, now we rely on foreign countries, mostly China, to build our products and a host of other countries to feed us.

Here is a quote by Bob Stallman, American Farm Bureau on "Hoosier Ag Today", with Gary Truitt, January 11, 2010:

"At the very time that we need to increase our food production, climate-change legislation (note: Obama's deathly Cap and Trade Bill) threatens to slash our ability to do so. The USDA is suggesting the number of acres of land that would shift from crops to trees with that legislation could be 59 million acres. That number of acres equates to setting aside every crop production acre in Indiana, California, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Tennessee."

Make no mistake about it,...the radical left agrenda is to destroy this country. They say it themselves:

"We must make this an inseucre and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness, millions of acres of presently settled land." - David Foreman (1947- ), co-founder of EarthFirst?

Not convinced?,....

"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrailized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?" - Maurice Strong (1929 - ), founder of the United Nations Environment Programme.

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid plan to jam Cap and Trade down our throats will be a deathnell to this country.
