Today I
got a weird phone call.
I thought it was the school board
calling me with a sub job. Instead it was this voice that said it wanted to ask
me a few questions about my opinion. I said “Fine. Go ahead.”
“Do you work for any political
organization or candidate?”
“No.” I said.
“Do you write a blog with political commentary
in it?”
I hesitated a moment to think about
it and then was totally truthful.
“Yes, I do occasionally. I have a
blog.”
“Thanks for your time today.
Good-bye!” And to my relief, he hung up…
That was kinda spooky. Who was this
person? Why did he hang up? What if I got in trouble for my free speech? Isn’t
that an unalienable right as defined in the Bill of Rights? Do I trust the government
any more to respect that?
Just remember, anything the government
touches eventually falls apart. Only free enterprise builds wealth. I remember
as a kid there were hardly any divorced couples. Mom’s stayed home mainly and
took care of the kids while the dad worked. Yes, a few worked outside the home
mainly because they wanted to not because of financial pressures. Now, it’s to
your advantage to stay single and cheaper too. No need to pay the marriage
penalty tax and you can get all these benefits from being single. Now, divorce
is rampant and homes are falling apart as the devil attacks the basic
institution of society. Most moms have to work outside the home or go on
government assistance just to survive. Why is the economically so stressed now?
Here are the rest of the 10 principles of a
free society:
“Government may not claim the
monopoly over a people’s money and government must never engage in official
counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic activity. Aggressive wars
even when called preventative and even when they pertain only to trade
relations are forbidden. Jury nullification, that is, the rights of jurors to
judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom
as the norm. All forms of involuntary servitude (slavery) are prohibited and
also conscription, forced association and forced welfare distribution. Government
must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never
use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy or
tell other countries how to behave.”
The government is now trying to tell
us what to eat, what to drink, what to smoke and what is the right healthcare
for us. The government also has been managing our economy and doing forced
welfare distribution since the sixties and¸ as a result, we are poorer than
ever. And we constantly tell other countries how to behave, too.
Another unwholesome trait of the
government is it’s been monetizing the debt over the past few years. Look that
up and you’ll see what it means. It’s
basically printing money and buying back its own debt also called quantitative
easing. That’s why there is inflation and a shrinking middle class.
What can we do about it? Pray, read
our Bibles, go to church, trust in the Lord to guide us. Only God can send
revival and turn this country around. We can speak the truth in love, too, and
hope someone is listening. What do you think? Do we as a country have a future
or is our debt going to doom us? Then it won’t matter if we’re liberal,
conservative or moderate cause it will be too late.
I just saw the stock market report
today. It dropped 273 points! Oh, no, not again…
And the writer of this book was: Ron
Paul, of course. Who else could it be?
