America is nothing more than a prescribed terriorty set by boundries. A piece of dirt, a plot of land. The question is what has happened to American values. Have they been erroded by the constant pounding of ignorance? Has the battering of years of no common sense bickering and fighting over meanial things worn a hole through the greatest country in the world. Have we the people forgotten that we the people rule the country and that politicans are only there to do the will of "We The People". If congress can write a law to tax a certain set of people for something they may or may not have deserved, can't they write a law that would allow the american people to unvote those same representatives before there terms are up if they aren't doing there job. Who spends 350 billion dollars without taking the time to know what there spending it on? Are "We The People" really being represented in OUR best interest? It’s not what has happened to America.

Pray to God they do not win the war! This school of thought says that it is more important for everything to be equal than it is for everyone to have the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The consequence is income redistribution becomes more important than earning income. Morals are not important because all morals are the same. There are no grades in school because it is bad for the self esteem of the less capable. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Freedom includes the freedom to fail and when you do not allow failure (bail out….sounds familiar) you subsidize failure. There is an immutable economic law: What ever you subsidize you get more of and what ever you tax you get less of. What does this society subsidize (reward) and what does it tax (penalize)??? God save us from legislated equality of outcomes! When you have winners and losers by no moral offence, then there is always more prosperity and ultimately more justice for all.

The book "The 5000 Year Leap" outlines 28 principles that this country was founded on. We need to return to those principles if we expect to survive. I have begun outlining each principle as it applies to our modern society.
