Private Ownership of Property

One of the greatest things about the United States of America is that you can own your own property, build your own house and live a life on your own outside of apartment buildings. In Russia and many other countries for that matter, that is not a luxury the taxes are too high and in many cases the government can take your property any time they want for any reason.

While here in the United states it has not gotten so bad that property is near impossible to have. It is so bad that you can never own property...ever. In all 50 states there is a property tax. That means that no matter how hard you work you are ALWAYS renting from the government. While I understand that property taxes have pretty much always been around it is time for them to change. A person should at some point be able to own their land, if nothing else. John Locke asserted that that is one of the inalienable rights of man"Life, Liberty, and Property".

I understand that the government must be funded in order to do the things that it was meant to do, such as protect the people. But their reach is far too extensive. If someone has paid off their property they should be able to own it at some point free and clear (including taxes). A tax age cap should be implemented on property tax. At the age of say 55 you should be able to own your property entirely without the threat of it being taken. If you have paid it off you should be able to call it your own, not the governments.

Men who know

It is of the utmost importance that we understand the intent of our enemies. If you believe that communism is done for you are sorely mistaken. It most assuredly is not!

"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
Vladimir Lenin

I believe what Lenin said, and I believe that it can be used to better us or to bring us down to destruction. At the current time as in the days of Lenin it is being utilized to destroy us. Students in classrooms no longer learn about the danger of Socialism, the gateway to communism, for what it is. If we do not know our enemy then how can we ever hope to understand how to defeat it. We cannot trust the government to teach our children what they need to know. We must teach them the truth. I have lived in Russia I know the demoralizing destructive result of socialism and eventually communism. Freedom is a privilege that has to be fought for. Read to your families, tell your children what is right and true then we will once again have the America that is the "Land of the Free, home of the brave" and all that that implies

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men to do nothing"
Edmund Burke

Our Political Figures

Al Gore, the forerunner for the global environmental crisis has turned out to be a hypocrite. While spreading his propoganda in Sweden he decided to leave his car running, for his entire speach, over an hour. In case there was any doubt about Al Gore's dedication to the environmental cause he just removed it all. He is a complete moron. How people like this ever obtain any power in this country is entirely beyond my understanding!

Lame Duck

If there is something that doesn't make sense to me about mid-term elections, it is the fact that regardless of who was elected by the people. The congress members who lost their seats still have the chance to pass pretty much whatever they want during the lame duck session. There should be no lame duck session! If the people voted members out, they obviously lost their seats for a reason, and they have no right to continue to legislate against the will of the American people. One of two things needs to happen. Either the voting date needs to be changed, or the last session of congress needs to be held before the elections. We did not vote to continue to see our will violated. We voted to change what is being done immediately, and that, is exactly what should be done. Now, not after the "Lame duck session".

Americans!

I know that I have written on entitlements before. Well, I am going to write about them again. They are destroying this country plain and simple. The less people want to work, the longer we are going to stay in this recession. The government isn’t going to get us out. The government has never produced any wealth in its entire existence. The more entitled we become, the more rapidly this country will be destroyed, or at least brought to it's free knees. If no one is working, then where will the government get their money? Now I understand that there are legitimate situations in which people need assistance. But I would encourage people in those situations to look for other sources. Sources that teach men to fish, not those that merely give fish. When men are the recipients of handouts we can quickly become broken, and diffident. We need to get back to being self-reliant, to being men. The government does not provide, it is not, nor has it ever been the government's responsibility to feed us, cloth us, and or pay our mortgages. Now we have MSNBC saying that it is time for a social revolution. That everyone should just stop paying their mortgages.

If this is a legitimate news source, I don't know what our country's fate is. It is as it always has been, in our hands. If we think that we have no power, we most assuredly are mistaken. We are Americans! America has been great in the past, because her people were great. "Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better" Martin Luther King, Jr. It is time for us to do our work, and do it well. We can only remain free if we are willing to work for it!

Immigration

I love how the president uses everything humanly possible for his political gain. Now he's going to give 11 million illegal immigrants citizenship. I predict just in time for the 2012 election. As he says it just isn't feasible to deport them. Come on Obama who are you too talk about expensive what happened to those billions of dollars. I know the entire stimulus is still not accounted for, not to mention it didn't have any effect. So maybe you should use some money to do something worthwhile. It is feasible. Yes, Obama there are some who are just here for a better life. What about all those who are here to ruin other's lives.

I am so tired of hearing people all over talking about the rights of illegal immigrants under the constitution. Guess what, they have no rights under the constitution. They are not citizens. Being an American is not, nor will it ever be a right. It is a privilege that millions of people are trying to legitimately work for. Regardless of what they are here for, it's not a very good track record to start off breaking the law.

Let me propose a new immigration law. First of all we secure the border, that obama says is already secure, but is not. We build a fence and wall across the whole thing. Then we stop enabling illegal citizens. We need to crack down on businesses hiring illegals. Then we need to enable everyone and pass a national law like the Arizona law. Then, we need to enforce said law. Not just ignore it and act like it wsa never passed. We need to enable our law enforcement to actually deport as many as possible. Sure, we can't feasibly deport every single illegal. However, we can certainly can show everyone else that is thinking about crossing the border illegally that it needs to be done the right way. We will not reward those who are breaking the law. Many people may say this view is harsh. However, being an American is a privilege and we appreciate what we work for.

Out of touch?!

"He can’t be that out of touch." Obama when are you going to stop blaming everyone for every problem in this country and own up to your actions. Republican house leader Boehner was quoted by Obama saying that Obama's financial reform bill is like use a nuke on an ant. Obama used what he said to say that the republicans are out of touch "he can't be that out of touch" Well,what about you Obama. Do you know what people are saying about you. You don't even need to talk. We can see how out of touch you are based upon your actions! How can you justify preaching how we are on the rise out of financial crisis,saying that we have avoided a depression and the financial crisis is over. Not only that but you say every economist who looks at it says we're on the way to recovery?! I want to know who said that, and how long they've been working for you. How out of touch are you Obama. Do you know what's going on. Stocks are down, jobless claims are up, recovery is certainly not what I would call it. No, of course you don't, you're too busy campaigning, and worrying about throwing this country into a socialist tailspin. Start acting like a man Obama own up to what is going on, and what you've done!
