No, I am not so much PO's as I am concerned about the future of the country. I am worried for my chldren's future opportunity to make or break it by their own industriousness. Their freedoms are being taken and codified in the law by this administration and if this health care jugarnaut, unless stopped, will require them to pay up to 80% of earnings to the federal government. Freedom is the answer. As John ADams said, "This constitutional republican form of government is wholly inadequet for any other than a moral and religious people." George Washington said our republic's survival is dependent upon the chains of virtue of every man. In otherwords, we don't conduct our lives properly because the law demands it, but we conduct our lives in proper fashion because it the the right moral thing to do. Freedom!

I fear we have lost, as a nation, a love of freedom and exchanged it for a desire of creature comforts.....glad to exchange that precious gift of freedom bought by the blood of patriots for a government provided security, as long as we behave as they require. That is not the basis of this constitutional republic. I think most freepers get it. I think most Americans do not get it.

I know..I didn't mean to be flippant. I agree with you totally. I have twin Grandsons just starting school and I fear for their future. Our freedoms and rights are hanging on the edge of a very dark precipice. I keep praying for a miracle to pull us back but I don't know. Especially, with the news today about the Afgan vote. This is the excuse O needed to leave our troops in the middle of a nightmare. I am having faint memories of Khe San. I'm sure the vets from there can fill in the blans. I want our troops home now.
