The 30 percent coalition's celebration of big government and the welfare state is based on a misunderstanding of the human heart, writes Brooks. Our political class thinks that "money buys happiness, as long as it is distributed fairly." But the secret of human flourishing -- no matter your status -- is not money but "earned success" in life, he says.
This is the Hope and Change the entitlement and liberal tribes are calling for.
They dont wish an opportunity to work, they wnat to sit on their lazy butts and get paid by the government.,
This.......was actually published in the Minneapolis “Red” Star Tribune??????
Just a sec....I need to look outside to watch the pigs flying by. BRB.
Satan’s on a rampage. He thinks he has his world government of Antichrist within sight. He has his man in the White House and his devils running the UN. I think he’s only waiting for those who are old enough to remember the United States to die off - then he’ll have a well brainwashed people in his hands, like putty.
The only thing that will turn this country around now is its people turning to God. When Israel followed Him, He made all their enemies, external and internal, to be at peace with them. When they turned away from Him, God stirred up enemies here and there and everywhere, as you see it today.
Israel and America could both save their nations by repenting and walking according to HIs Scripture.
Limited government bequeathed by our Founders is under attack.Now that’s some thing Obama can take credit for and he can’t blame Bush for it.
you can't make people happy
"May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all), the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. . . . All eyes are opened or opening to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few, booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God. These are grounds of hope for others; for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollection of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them." - Thomas Jefferson to Roger C. Weightman, 24 June 1826, Ford, Vol. 10, 390-392
Today, a "favored few," "booted and spurred," and steeped in an ideology that is foreign to liberty, have seized temporary power in Washington, D. C. They must be reminded that "We, the People's" Constitution limits their power to ride, rough shod, over the Creator-endowed rights of American citizens.
May we "refresh our recollection" of the Founders' ideas and give "undiminished devotion to them" on this Fourth of July!
