If you're like me, you are tired of the attempt to slowly and methodically chip away at our freedom.  My hope is that as people start to wake up and realize that something is "just not right"  they will not simply complain and throw up their hands because they feel powerless.  I feel blessed to be a citizen of the United States of America and I want to make sure that my descendants are able to experience the liberty that has been bestowed upon me. 

I believe that the Constitution is our guiding document and should not be simply dismissed as a "living document' that means one thing one day and something else the next.  Our founders experienced tyranny and therefore carefully and deliberately chose each word that was written.  Once we give way to the idea of a "moldable" constitution we give politicians, special interest groups and corrupt institutions the ability to use our founding document as a pawn to further their agendas. 

I believe that everyone in this great country has the right to believe, worship, and EXPRESS their religion in anyway that they see fit as long as it does not impede upon another person's safety.  SO WHAT if it offends.  FREEDOM OF RELIGION...NOT FREEDOM FROM RELIGION!

I also believe that we are all individuals with independent talents, wishes, dreams, and abilities.  We are all equal in the sense that we were all created by a loving God that granted us a free will to do with this life what we choose.  That doesn't mean that we all will accomplish the same things, experience the same education, make use of our talents in the same way.  Nor does it mean that we are OWED something from someone else.  We are independent thinkers and workers who should use our own sense of compassion to help those that can't help themselves.  Whether that be by way of a charitable donation, offering a helping hand, or simply being a friend.  As far as the government goes... our elderly who have paid into the Government system for years and contributed positively to our society should be first priority when in need, NOT, able bodied people who will not give up their cell phones and cable TV to buy groceries.  Children who have been forgotten and cannot help themselves should be helped. However, the never ending revolving door of entitlement has to stop and it is ruining the very fabric of our society.

I think that many people when they hear the term "conservative" think of a person or group of people that is uptight and wishes to suppress freedoms.  However, nothing could be further from the truth.  True conservatism allows for TRUE FREEDOM.  When we give the government control over our money, our health, and our children what freedom do we really have? 

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have."  -Gerald Ford.

I look forward to reading your posts and welcome spirited debate.  However, I will not tolerate vulgarity or personal attacks and will not upload such comments.  THANK YOU!  CG
