We Agree!
| In this time of moral and political crises, it is the responsibility of the youth of America to affirm certain eternal truths.
We, as young conservatives, believe: That foremost among the transcendent values is the individual's use of his God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the restrictions of arbitrary force; That liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long exist without economic freedom; That the purpose of government is to protect those freedoms through the preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the administration of justice; That when government ventures beyond these rightful functions, it accumulates power, which tends to diminish order and liberty; That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement yet devised for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while restraining it from the concentration and abuse of power; That the genius of the Constitution- the division of powers- is summed up in the clause that reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people, in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal government; That the market economy, allocating resources by the free play of supply and demand, is the single economic system compatible with the requirements of personal freedom and constitutional government, and that it is at the same time the most productive supplier of human needs; That when government interferes with the work of the market economy, it tends to reduce the moral and physical strength of the nation; that when it takes from one man to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the first, the integrity of the second, and the moral autonomy of both; That we will be free only so long as the national sovereignty of the United States is secure; that history shows periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when free citizens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies; That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties; That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistance with, this menace; and That American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States? |

Absolutely! On ALL Points!
"The Sharron Statement" was adopted on September 11, 1960. How very interesting. Then 41 years, to the day, our country was attacked.
Our country was attacked because the men and women in our U.S. government were too busy playing politics (continuous campaigning) and doing that which is not their job to do, that they failed us on "the provision of national defense."
People bicker, back and forth, as to who was at fault for 9/11. Well, the Islamic terrorists were at fault, obviously. However, the U.S. government dropped the ball. It was and is their job to protect us, and they failed to do so.
If they were in office on 9/11/01, toss them out on election day, 2010. Fire them all! They failed us, in the worst way!

So sad, but true.
Most Americans seem to have forgotten these simple facts.
Ft Hood is a glaring example of just how little has changed- and that part that has changed has gotten worse

Yes, EN,
Who is doing the job of Congress, defending our nation, while they fight over OUR health care? Why is not ONE Republican standing up and saying, "Hey, while you Democrats are keeping us fighting to protect our constituents' constitutionally supported freedoms, WHO THE HECK IS PROTECTING THIS NATION?"
The Republicans should be making a HUGE issue out of the fact that the people who they are having to fight to protect our freedoms, are the power hungry, vote buying, DEMOCRATS!
I have said for a long time now, that the Republicans have to go on the dog-gone OFFENSE! But they are too busy playing "nice guy" and having to show that they are nicer than the left! Well how the heck nice are they being to the American people, by not doing their job in the best way possible!
The Republicans need to go on an all-out offense and show the Democrats for what they are.
The Democrats are trying to take over everything, so that they can control the people on election day by making more and more promises with our very lives.
Nancy Pelosi knows exactly what she is doing, trying to pass this health care bill before elections. She expects us to believe that she is okay with a lot of democrats losing their positions. That is just bull. Such bull would mean that she is okay with the democrats losing control of the house and her losing control of that hammer. She didn't get all of those face lifts, to shrink away into nothingness. Nancy Pelosi is no shrinking violet! No way, there is no way that she is okay with losing that hammer.
Nancy Pelosi knows that if the health care bill passes before election day, that the democrats will then use what is in the bill as a bargaining tool, in order to get re-elected. The democrats will then claim that the republicans will not do as well with the "new health care laws" as the democrats can do. --It's the abusive spouse syndrome. The democrats will make many of their constituents believe that the very people who took their freedoms, are now their keeper, helper and life-support.
They have turned us into merchandise and are exploiting us for their gain. And many people have joined with and support the democrats in doing this, because they don't want to be spoken bad of. But, read 2 Peter 2, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the Lord will handle them quickly.
