I. Spread small business acumen.

There are examples of small businesses all over. Small business is within reach of the poorest people. They simply need consulting. Everybody wants to succeed financially.

As people who are poor learn about how to run a small business, they need to get accounting 101 in their brain: a simple p & l and balance sheet.

1 or 2 courses at a community college, or a few nights after work with a consultant - or a mentor.

Let small business people tell tales of woe about getting into debt and bankruptcy: how did it happen.

Let small business people share tales of success: one step at a time, no flash in the pan, just hard work, some smarts, and sticking to principles. And the avoidance of using debt or equity in place of revenue.

The more solidly people understand p & l and balance sheet, the more horrifying the finances of the Federal government look.

II. Show how the Bible contains specific orders which have the effect of avoiding problems.

I won’t get “preachy”, just will assist the person who comes to me with analytically reviewing the text. let’s make a list of things I can do to mess up my life, and then find the corresponding directive from the Bible that if I had not been so boneheaded and just followed that directive I would have avoided the problem altogether. But someone has to ask me or they won’t listen to the analysis.

Not trying to convince the poor rube of anything, or force anything on them, just saying, hey, dude, if you read the manual you could have avoided that brick wall.

No other book or teaching is as helpful to the individual personally.

But they can take it or leave it.

In short, the solid foundation of Christ that America was built on is being removed and replaced with the sand of immorality. We the people - not the government - need to bring the foundation back, piece by piece, sweeping out the sand as we replace each stone. Politicians are like reeds in the wind: if their constituents consistently reject those who would destroy America and instead insist on a decent Judeo-Christian society with a government that governs least, they will grant it to them. We must speak louder - and more often - than lobbyists.

III. Study European history.

We’ve got the latest upgrades to government, with all the updates and fixes, applied to the American framework. Trouble is, we have bad data. (not enough moral people). And the framework doesn’t handle immorality in it’s people. It never has, and this latest version still does not.

It’s all been done before; clear specific examples help. I love the one about inflation wreaking havoc on the economy of the Spanish empire. And they had gold currency. Biff (the average rube) has not been told about these things in Propaganda school. European history there is limited to “white people=bad”. European history was originally a problem because there were so many Roman Catholic immigrants and Protestants going to public school, so the Reformation and early America must have been a touchy subject. Instead of refraining from pointing fingers and making a quality study of things, I guess it started to get glossed and skipped over. From the mid-1800’s on history started being slowly twisted. Now it’s avoided because the Propaganda schools are run by communists - who fear and loathe both Protestants and Roman Catholics equally (who says they aren’t fair ?). So the significance and relationship of such history as that of the Magna Carta, the Glorious Revolution, the Protectorate, etc., are boiled down into a comic-book understanding instead of a thoughtful, thorough and honest exploration of the struggles and politics that had such an obvious and large influence on the design of American government.

So the big secrets are kept secret. Why are the 1st Amendment freedom of religion clauses there ? Because of the experiences in European history - for no other reason. But if one does not know those historic experiences one can not understand anything about the 1st Amendment. It’s like we have a fence around our henhouse to keep the fox out, but we only see the fence, we’ve never seen a fox and don’t understand the fox at all. The fence is now a splitrail fence, it’s around our house instead of the henhouse, and the gate opens only from the outside.

IV. Be the media.

Break stories like...

* the actual text of laws and regulations
* government financial information
* the actions of members of Congress
* etc.......

Short and to the point so eyes don’t glaze over.

Things that cause rubes to wake up and know that they’re being had. One of my favorites is info on how morality laws were all sneakily repealed since the 1960’s. People born after that time never really saw morality laws have any effect since they were being “phased out”, and they don’t realize that up until then morality laws kept deviant people in public office from passing laws that promoted deviancy, since those laws would have contradicted existing laws. The “phase out” of morality laws paved the way for the government to promote immorality as a right, contradicting the laws of 2,000 years of Western civilization. While all individuals were not moral during that time by any means, the laws enacted by Christian governments were aimed at Biblical standards.

Many today think we have a “new way”, “new thinking”, a “modern world”. Arrogantly and ignorantly they think this, despite some in every generation before thinking the same thing and being just as wrong. There is no “new way” when it comes to truth. Truth has been there all along and will always be there, unchanging. Working for living and not getting into debt are as timeless as 2 + 2 = 4. Social conservatives need to go forth and evangelize the huddled masses so they can get in on this truth; only then will they escape the lie of collectivism and statism to finally be free.
