Government is not God

The Government is not God. Too many people think that Government is some magical place where money grows on trees and gold paves the roads. You think something is not going right so you turn to the magical Government to fix it. Magical new laws will make wrongs turn into rights and criminals will magically turn into law abiding citizens. You pull money from the money tree and throw it at education and suddenly the children are smarter. You pull more money from the money tree and throw it a job creation for the under privileged and suddenly we have successful executives.

This is all a figment of someones imagination. This is not reality. There is no money tree and the streets are not paved in gold. There are no magical laws, no magical powers lurking around Washington. In fact, the powers in Washington are far from magical, they are frightening destructive to the American well being.

We have watched for too long the politicians think they are princes and princesses of the magical land of Washingtonland, where they make laws and throw money from imaginary money trees at what pet project they have in mind. Whatever the people claim is going wrong they have jumped in to fix it their way. We have seen for years what they have done to education. They have dumbed down, taken God out, shunned the gifted and praised the lazy students just make everyone happy, feel less challenged, and allow no discrimination. Has that worked out well? Not really. Our educational system pays high salaries to its teachers, gives great benefits out to its teachers but the outcome of education has not improved, in fact, in recent years it has declined. So, the answer? Washingtonland - more money from the money tree. The American People - give more control back to the parents.

Then along comes Obama, America was going through some tough economical times. Where did they begin. Why the Government intervening of course. The poor needed homes of their own, they need loans [even if they could not, would not, ever pay them back]. It was be discriminatory to not give to the poor that which the working class had worked for. So, the answer the Government had was to give it to them. That worked real well, lots of houses got sold, lots of money changed hands but then the loans started going into default. Things went down hill real fast. Jobs were lost, more loans were in default, banks were in trouble, good people couldn't get loans, businesses hurt, businesses went under, more jobs lost, more loans in default, more bank problems, more business problems - a spiral of economical disasters. So - what's the answer? Government - throw the money tree money at it, government control it, government take over. The American People - let the chips fall where they may and let everyone reorganize to begin anew while charity takes care of those in need.

Obama to the rescue or so he thinks. In his egomaniac mind he believes he is creating a new America, a better America. This is how he has been taught and trained by his handlers. He steps in and starts immediately in controlling every aspect of our capitalistic world, our banking industry , our auto industry, our health industry - what next? He has all the answers, so he thinks. Everything he touches he thinks will turn to gold - just like the streets he walks on, and everything that has a problem he will just throw his money tree money at it, trillions and trillions of dollars of it. The new America brought to you by Washingtonland. But will it work? Of course not, Washingtonland is make believe and imaginary and the American people need to wake up from their dream and realize Obama and Washingtonland is not real and we need give America back to the People where mistakes are made and mistakes make us stronger. Wimps belong in dreamland - Washingtonland, the strong belong in reality where patriots reign.

May God Bless America
