Your DOORBELL Is Ringing! Free Stuff

Common Sense Commentary: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" Jn.8:32

---

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it. You don't multiply wealth by dividing it. Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to

enjoy the fruits of their labor.

~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005

"One of the penalties for refusing
to participate in politics is that you end up
being governed by your inferiors."
~ Plato

"The oppressed are allowed once every few years
to decide which particular representatives of the
oppressing class are to represent and repress them."~ Karl Marx

A lot of truth is in that last quote but what he brought to the world was "oppression's zenith". I suspect there is a new one, just coming to power, which will be even worse than Karl Marx created.

"In a democracy the poor will have
more power than the rich,
because there are more of them,
and the will of the majority is supreme."
~ Aristotle

Common Sense Comment: RB
Aristotle was right in what he said, but the U.S.A. is not solely a Democracy.  Democracy is "Majority Rule", but what we have is a Democratic Republic.  The "Democracy" part gives everyone an equal vote. The majority vote carries in a states election of its local and national political Representatives, and state and local issues. The "Republic" part keeps the majority from abusing the minority and making them second class citizens.  A Republic is supposed to be a government of laws as is our U.S. Constitution.  Every other law must, by law, harmonize with and strengthen our basic law, the U.S. Constitution.  The Constitution is what protects the individual and  minorities... not the Democracy but the Republic.  If you had lived in Germany during WWII, you would have seen  the majority so intimidated by the NAZI, Socialist government , that they were afraid to cross Adolph Hitler and his Brown Shirts, so they went along with and voted the way he wanted them to.  As a result, several minorities were left completely at the mercy of what became a Nazi majority.  The excluded  included Jews, Gypsies and evangelical Christians as well as others.  I would not want to live in a pure democracy where the majority could vote themselves into wealth and total power and vote the minorities into poverty and persecution or vise versa, where the majority of Socialists could vote the industrious producers into oblivion and themselves, wards of the state. Our Constitutional Republic is the horse-power which pulls our national carriage but  democracy holds the reins.  Both are vital to what has made America successful and exceptional in the past and will again if thinking Americans will all vote and insist upon a restoration of respect and obedience of our U.S. Constitution. We are supposed to be a nation of LAW not at the whim of a majority vote which could elect a dictator who would ignore the Republic and LAW of the Land. The Legislative branch of our Government is charged by  the Constitution to legislate (make) laws in harmony with the Constitutional constraints.  The Executive branch (President) is charged with enforcing the Constitution, THE LAW OF OUR LAND.  He has no right to make law and only to enforce Law as the Constitution prescribes.   When there is a disagreement between parties or individuals as to what is Constitutionally right or wrong, the third branch of our Government, the the Judicial (court system) filters out the lesser issues and the really big issues wind up at the Supreme Court to decide.  All of this is outlined and ordered in our U.S. Constitution.  The fact is, that often times the  Legislative branch makes unconstitutional laws, the Executive branch sometimes enforces those illegal laws and ignores the Constitutional ones and even "makes" laws in violation of his powers under the Constitution.  Also, the Judicial branch often judges and decrees unconstitutional decisions and often, itself, makes laws which it has no authority to do ... in our Constitution.

FREE STUFF

From: bbrown@cofo.edu To: Papahoss3

 

The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff,

because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

And, the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.

And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... the people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff

and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?

The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing

people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.
