Obama said we all belong to the government. I believe he has it backward. I believe the government belongs to all of us.

UMMMMMMMMMMMM..............

Lincoln said a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

the obamanation has a rather marxist interpretation.

if i belong to the government, then the government owns me.

Blessings, bobo

Some of them won't understand who is in charge until the hangings start for treason.

and Willard will be just as bad...

During his speech at the convention he said he intends to “help” people...

I’m from the government and I’m here to help...

No thanks Willard...

No thanks Obama...

Both of you progressive liberals just get out of our way...

We the people have been doing it on our own in this country for 400 years...230 plus the years before...

Without the “help” of the government...

There were no food stamps when the people got off the Mayflower and the Nieuw Nederlandt...

We, the people, need to take time to let our public servants, (elected office holders) hear what we want them to do as well as stay abreast of what they do. In other words, keep an eye on our congresscritters!!

They seem to take themselves too seriously if they realize we don't care enough to tell them what we think/want!

Indeed the all is His and USG was created on His principles and He shall judge it as it stands!

Psalm 24
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and [a]all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.

3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul [b]to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord
And [c]righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 [d]This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob. [e]Selah.

7 Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O [f]ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!

I wish more people and more of our children understood this. My son is in the public school system, so it’s a struggle for me at times to undo whatever damage some teachers try to inflict. I thank God he has a number of very good teachers in the mix and he’s turning out to be a responsible, thoughtful, Conservative young man.
