Rejection:

Thursday-January 26, 2011

Rejection:

I have asked that you look for the truth and look for the proof of success in all of what has been done for the sake of growing government to help us. What you might find is that there has been very little of what we would consider success.

Government spends 4 billion dollars a day in just interest rates (finances charges) on our debt. This was reported by Neil Cavuto on FOX. This is why I am talking about rejection!

Rejection is defined: The action of rejecting: the sate of being rejected b: the immunological process of sloughing off foreign tissue or an organ (as a transplant) by the recipient organism 2: something rejected.

The president is constantly comparing us to countries like China. They have a great infrastructure, he says. They have speedy trains, he says. But what he fails to tell you is that China uses slave labor to build the tracks and buildings. Unions don’t exist there, along with environmental impact studies that are needed when we build here. China doesn’t care about impact studies, they just build. The fact of the matter is that passenger trains don’t work here like they do in China. The only trains that work here is when we ship cargo, because of something called commerce. Commerce is what makes us the largest economy in the world and in all of human history.

Why we should use rejection, as Paul Ryan said Tuesday night in the Republican rebuttal, as a way to bring back this principle: “The importance of limited government and the blessings of self government.” This is the principal of what our country was founded on. We cannot be compared to China and we should not give into Russia to get a nuclear treaty.

We should reject our government, because we cannot and we should not continue to trust it any longer. We are going to be told that we must invest in education, infrastructure and green environmental technology. Oil, manufacturing and business is out, because these things cannot be controlled easily by government.

We should reject our government, because we have spent close to two trillion dollars on what? Where are the jobs and where is this robust economy that we were promised, because of the investment that was made on our behalf?

The words “The importance of limited government and the blessings of self government” mean something. It is a principal that must not be forgotten. Of all the things that were said Tuesday night, these ring true.

We do need better education, but that comes from teachers who want to teach and unions that should not be so powerful. Education starts at home with parents who don’t send their kids to school to be baby sat. Technology can grow, if market forces are given the opportunity. These are the things that are meant when we speak of limited government and self government. There are going to be those that break the system when they do use the laws to prosecute. Don’t use government to be the moral authority it has never been and it will never be.

It is okay to reject business as usual. This is what we are rejecting now. But when we want an alternative way of doing things, don’t use government to decide what the new ways of doing things are. We need to go back to the future and require that our government is limited and that we are self governed to the task of building, teaching and developing the technology that will keep us great.

Reject the notion that government should drive every aspect of our life. We did not make it to the moon by government alone. A president lead the nation in establishing a goal, but engineers, creative thinkers and private industry created the means to meet the goal.

Reject the notion that some budgets can be slashed by replacing those budgets with new ones that will grow the government. Reject the notion that technology must be supported by government this is the code for new government subsidies.

Step back slow down and find out what your priorities are. These priorities should be your government’s priorities.

Washington said as much in his first State of the Union:“ In resuming your consultations for the general good you can not but derive encouragement from the reflection that the measures of the last session have been as satisfactory to your constituents as the novelty and difficulty of the work allowed you to hope. Still further to realize their expectations and to secure the blessings which a gracious Providence has placed within our reach will in the course of the present important session call for the cool and deliberate exertion of your patriotism, firmness, and wisdom.”

Our leaders seem to want us to be rock stars, financiers and computer geniuses. Maybe we want our politicians to be the same as well. For me, I want people to be self governed, with character and confidence. Our President comes from academia and a Chicago Political machine. This does not make a great leader. A great leader knows how to go back to the future and learn the lessons that others died trying to perfect.

Washington said it best: "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American People." First Inaugural Address, 30 April 1789.

A footnote: Every day we make history, we make history as a nation and as a people. Our leaders must walk among us to know the distance we have traveled to make a life that is good and prosperous. Don’t reject this - reject what will prohibit this.
