After roughly fifty years of the Democrat’s war on poverty, more people are on welfare than ever before. The soul crushing mantra from Democrats is you can’t make it without us. You’re not smart enough, determined enough, or privileged; therefore, the American dream is out of your reach unless the government deigns to reach down to you and shepherd you through life.

I immediately thought of the bleak dystopian novella "Anthem", which graphically illustrates the ultimate extension of this socialist shepherding. The elimination of the concept of the nominative singular pronoun sends chills up my spine whenever I am unfortunate enough to be reminded of it. Damn them all to hell for advancing one of the greatest evils known to humanity.

Amen to that.

Like a watchman on the wall, we must toll the warning bell.

Let it ring out... “WAKE UP!”

Plead and encourage your family and friends to not succumb to the promise of “free stuff,” and social equalization promised by politicians who have failed to improve the standard of living and way of life for the very people they claim to help.

They never had any intention of “helping.” They have every intention of “controlling.”

They want to ensure permanent voting blocks, taking advantage of people in bad circumstances...which circumstances they themselves have created and then continually promises to “fix”...a fix which never comes.

In fact, the only “fix” is that the “fix is in.”

Lead them to divorce themselves from the Pied Piper mentality these leftist politicians and race baiters, and divisive, class-envy promoters are peddling!

Teach them to hold fast to the time-honored traditions and values we all hold dear as Americans...depending on our God and ourselves to provide as best we can for ourselves, and depending on families, our churches, and private charitable organizations to help when in need...and not a government and politicans who want to use the needy for their own ends. No longer listen to or give credence to the absolutely misleading, illogic of the progressive left.

Faith in God, strong families, hard work, personal responsibility, honesty, integrity, the free market, and a reliance on our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the answers. No one can “give you,” happiness. We must use these fundamental values to pursue and find it for ourselve!

THAT is the promise of America...that we are all free to do so.
