Restoration

What do liberals have against those who take hold of the American dream and ride it wherever they want to go? That's the American dream. Why do they want to crush it?

Don't answer that.

Liberals think in terms of entitlement. Conservatives think in terms of opportunity. In America, we are not entitled to a job, a house, education, healthcare, a six-figure paycheck. But we have the opportunity to achieve these things. Liberals hold that we are entitled to mediocrity. We're entitled to the same thing as everyone else. In an entitlement mentality, no one can get ahead. Admittedly, no one can fall behind, either. But how are you to get ahead if you don't come from behind?

People speak of the chains of poverty. I may be called selfish and naive for saying this, but there is no such thing in America. In America, you always have the opportunity to rise. It may be hard, but you can if you put your mind and heart to it.

Liberals would have us truly in chains. Not of poverty, but of mediocrity. They believe everyone is entitled to be as good as everyone else. And if no one can be better or worse, as long as we all have the same standard of living, that standard can be anything. Or nothing. And we can't get out.

Speaking of not being able to get out, America: WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW. By get out I mean get people out of Congress, get out of the situation we're in financially, and get out of "entangling alliances" such as the New START treaty. And all the climate change treaties and countless other things. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, we need to GET OUT of the mindset we're in, the rut we're in. A feeling of entitlement never amounts to anything, does it? In fact, it makes us feel worse, because we never get everything we want, because others cannot give it. Only we know what our dreams are, and only we can achieve them.

That's another problem. We've lost sight of our dreams. Are we content to just do nothing, be nothing, just go through life instead of living it? Where's our sense of pride? Where's our sense of America?

Who are we? Do we even care? Why are we teaching young people one-sided liberal opinions formed by the government instead of teaching them to think, and once we've got that down, to do it for themselves? Why are we content to compromise? Why must we meet the government at their end? We, the people, need to do something.

How is it that there are three hundred million of us and we all act so powerless?

Oh, I know. Because a few people have convinced us we are. We are so gullible. In our own defense, we've been trained to be so since we entered public schools at ages five and even earlier.

Reform doesn't even begin to cover INTRODUCING what needs to happen in America. Change? Nope, it's beyond that. Revolution? Close, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Keep that one in mind, though. It's not even along the lines of transformation.

It's called restoration.

Does the year 1776 mean anything to you?
