Make Mine Freedom

I'm posting this video on my blog for those of you who haven't already had the opportunity to view it.

It pretty much speaks for itself. Rarely does government offer us anything that doesn't come at the expense of liberty. Our citizens are easily seduced by the allure of more for less or something for nothing and are not as discriminating as they should be of the legislation and programs coming out of Washington.

Bottom line: When we allow government to grow and touch more aspects of our lives, our liberties shrink and we literally open the door more widely for the advance of absolute tyranny.

America's Drift Towards Socialism

“America was built on the principle of faith in God, self reliance, the profit motive, individual action and voluntary charity. It was built by those who believed that the surest helping hand at was at the end of their own sleeves. These forefathers of ours shared one thing in common, an unshakeable faith in God and a faith in themselves. There are indications that America is moving away from the philosophy that made her the most prosperous nation in the world.” – Ezra Taft Benson
