Our current state of government affairs in terms of the economic philosophy of our wise and wonderful leaders in Washington reminds me of one of the characters in the cartoon ‘Popeye'!
The character ‘Wimpy’ continually repeats his monotone request “I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” to anyone that will listen.
We are in the process of giving up our economic future, which includes our freedom as well as our liberty, for a ‘hamburger today’ – an unsatisfying and wasteful hamburger at that…and we, just as Wimpy, will not have the ability nor the desire to pay anyone back on Tuesday !

Peoples toil for fire and nations grow weary for nothing
Peoples toil for fire and nations grow weary for nothing.
We have become a nation that has grown very weary as we have moved away from personal responsibility and have come to rely upon government intervention and support.
We toil for a life of freedom and liberty and we see those founding ideals disappearing before our eyes…burned up as in fire – socialism’s chaff. We have become a nation whose dream has moved from a dream of freedom and liberty to one of entitlement, vain glory and the rejection of personal responsibility. Those in leadership in our government, who have taken an oath to adhere to our constitution – their justice and authority now originate with themselves.
America, have the toils of our forefathers – their spilled blood, sweat and tears, their steadfast determination to be a free nation at the cost of their lives, their fortunes and their honor, become an unworthy anecdote to a country that has grown weary for
nothing ?

America - who are we ?
America – who are we ?
A country made up of people of diverse backgrounds and heritages
Melded together into one body for the common good
Standing on the ideals for our nation’s founding
As our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution proclaim
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all who call America their country
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation under God,
Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All.
That to secure these ideals government has been instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it…
May we stand firm in holding fast to our Constitution and without hesitation proclaim its truths to be self evident while resolving to hold our elected representatives accountable to their oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The roots of our country’s wandering stem from:
1) a continued movement away from the belief that there is absolute truth
2) the slow deconstruction and subsequent demise of the founding ideals that are based upon the sound premise that the role of our government is to provide for and protect the personal liberty of its people
As our federal government has moved toward an ever increasing abyss of bigger government, exacerbating levels of legislation, enslaving entitlements and the usurpation of power at all levels, we continue to forsake our precious liberty…
Socialistic trends move us ever further from our nation’s founding ideals while we have created an ever growing population of people who believe that government has THE answers to all of life’s issues.
We must resolve to stem the tide that has begun to engulf our great nation in a sea of mediocrity and stand up to those who have abused their power to govern.
