Recently, I get the feeling that a MAJORITY of Americans are very displeased with the Democrat Congress, Obama, "Obamacare" and the federal government in general. This feeling is based on radio, friends and neighbors, tv and national polls. So, if the government is so bad, why doesn't it change?
If all those who are conservative, love the constitution, their families, and their responsible freedom voted for the right thing, the thing that is dictated by honor and right, I think the government would change. Part of the reason it does not change is that many of we, the people, are lazy and/or uninformed and don't make the change. I think, however, that a bigger part of the problem is that we fear "public" perception. We fear that if we vote for right that we will seem antiquated or stubborn, or closed minded. So, we try to have an open mind and we consume some of the tripe that the general media dishes out and we vote for "progress" or liberality in a hopes that we will feel the exciting rush of change. Meanwhile we have sold a piece of our freedom, our citizenship; maybe not a large part but an important part and all those small pieces add up to us losing our freedom. We are loosing our freedom to be honorable, our freedom to be self responsible, to have a community, to work towards our goals.
I guess what I am saying is that each and every one of us needs to stand completely for what is right, for what is just and for what is good; even if it is not convenient or popular. We need to stand in what we do, what we say, and how we live; even at the cost of time, popularity or effort. This country was not built by those who sat around and waited for others to build them up. Nor was it built by those who desired to control others; it was built by those searching for freedom and right.
