Quote of the hour, day, year, and for life....

We all come into this world not knowing much and we will leave it not knowing much more.... It is our task to seek knowledge and the apply it to our lives....
One of the things I know for sure is that; no one here knows everything, and that includes you... So we must get on with our lives, using the best information we have... DUH!!
There are certain values which we should adhere to and want as the foundation of our family and country.... Among those are the principles of:
1) Free enterprise; This is where people, work, and invest, take risks, which can bring profits or loses... In medieval Europe the workers had to turn over a third of their, earning to the Lord of the Manor... They had no say as they were slaves or serfs...
While here in the USA & many countries of the world, we are paying tax up to more than 50%... {Does the "Fair Tax" start to sound better at 20%??}
2) Individual freedom; When government grows, individual rights or freedoms decline... Read the history books, talk to people from other parts of the world.... Many people tend to see the so called benefits offered by the government; but not the high costs.... Not only in time & money but in lose of personal freedoms...
{ you may want to think about it the next time that you allow some government agency make a decision for you.. }
3) Traditional Family values; What are these values?? When I was growing up, most all decisions were made within the family unit... From who took care of under age children, when the mother died, to what was done for people in need... Between, church, community, and the family the society moved along... Not always smoothly, but the decisions and responsibility were made by the people who would live them...
{Now big government exists to solve each and every problem... or so they say!!}
4) Limited Government; The US federal government now consumes over 20% of the national economy in a peace time and more during war.... One problem is the government spends much more than it takes in... Ask yourself how long you could keep this type of system going??
{ Forget the so called spending cuts, they have not occured.... go to www.ntu.org for more details...}
5) Right of self protection or defense; Every animal has some form of self defense... There are those today who want to render us defenseless; both personal and national... You may want to ask yourself what is wrong with this picture??
{The US Constitution mandates the government to provide for the national defense... Peace through strength never goes out of style}
These are the five basic principles of conservatism... As stated "The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedoms, tradition American values, and a strong national defense" www.heritage.org
This not the only organization, but it is definitely one of the best for this country... So wither you support this idea or not at least you should support the basic principles or else maybe you need to consider a move to some other place...
Thank you for your time and considerations... We support a strong USA, and the clear principles that built this country in the first place.... www.simplytruth.com
See ya... K
