How different are we?

I know we have many diverse political opinions among my friends here on  this blog , it doesn’t mean that we want different things for America it just means we have a different philosophy on how to attain the things we want to achieve.  Most of you know that I am a Conservative and that I’m not a fan of the present administration, this doesn’t mean that I want it to fail.  To me this is the greatest country that has ever existed in the world and it is a shame that political division is bringing it such turmoil.  For this reason I’m going to try to explain what my values as a Conservative are and I’m sure you will find that we have more in common than first thought.

As a conservative I believe in smaller government, what does that mean? To me smaller government means less bureaucracy, less regulation and more opportunity to be successful.  It doesn’t mean that there should be no rules of decency in both business and the way you live your life.  The Golden Rules have sufficed for decades as the rule of law.  The Golden Rules have nothing to do with religion & everything to do with decency.  Most laws enacted in our Bill of Rights were guided by the Golden Rule.

I believe that we need to develop a system of helping those who need a hand up without destroying their motivation to do it on their own.  Our welfare system today is not only breaking the bank it is breaking the spirit of achievement of those who are trapped in its clutches.  In years past our churches and various social welfare organizations were the safety net for our society.  It’s these organizations that saw us through the Great Depression and the American migration from the Dust Bowl.  It is since the invention of War on Poverty that President Johnson enacted that we have become so dependent on government assistance.  I believe we have more people in what is considered poverty now than there were when this was developed.  Our society was built on mans ability to earn and save for the future.  There will always be those afflicted who are unable to care for themselves and it is societies responsibility to care for them. 

We have become a nation that is unable to speak from the heart, by that I mean there is so much political correctness in our lives that we cannot say or do anything that may upset one group or another.  This just creates more division as these thoughts fester and rather than discuss them openly we form little sub-societies of people who think as we do and in doing so we create additional divisions rather than have an open forum to debate.  Whether it be race or religion we should be able to discuss openly our beliefs without being labeled either a racist or a bigot.  How do we learn from one another without open communication?  Could I as businessman establish a business in a black community employing unskilled workers, no, I would be told that I am taking advantage of the people and I would probably be run out of town.  Big government has built these Ghetto’s all across the land and the people trapped in them are being used as political pawns by people like Sharpton and Jackson who leach off society. 


By taking away the responsibility of parenting and providing for their families we have destroyed two full generations of blacks in this country.  They still have the capability to vote therefore they are a valuable commodity to those who keep them in chattel.   Thankfully many good people have escaped the system and have become major contributors to our Society. These riots and demonstrations from New York and Ferguson are not for the deaths of Black men at the hands of police they are to threaten Society to obtain a bigger share of the wealth of this country.  Unless you are a Socialist or Communist you must understand that being forced to pay for those who are purposely non productive in this country at the expense of those who work to earn a living is a system designed to fail.  Soon there will be more takers than providers, (what am I saying), it’s already happened, just take a look at our countries debt.  It has already climbed to the point of critical mass.
