Liberty Reborn

It is fashionable these days to forget the truth and even downright ignore it when it cannot be forgotten. And what about when the truth cannot be ignored? Well, in that case we are far too accepting of any attempt to distort it.

We all know how great it feels to be offered something for nothing. Most of us have rushed to the store to cash a coupon for a “free” item happily. But while the price to us on the spot is nothing, the actual cost to produce that item still remains and must be recouped. The sad and ultimate truth is that nothing is “free”. I know, it sounds cliché, but it is true.

America voted for change. That was the resounding theme from Democrats this week after they seized control of both the House and Senate from a Republican Party that had embraced the philosophy of “compassionate conservatism” which is nothing more than a veil for the principles of big government social spending and liberalism as the solution to the problems of Americans. The truth of the matter however is that America did not vote for change. They merely voted to speed up the process of taxing the rich to redistribute the wealth to the less productive and any number of other economic and social principles and policies that are failing all over the world.

Here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania we are supposed to be guaranteed a “republican” form of government. It’s in the United States Constitution if you doubt this. Look it up.
