Common Sense

The transformation of government run by and reporting to The People, towards being a government being an entity of itself and reporting to no one but itself may have started back in the Wilson and FDR days. Both were 'progressives' that had the notion that The People weren't smart enough to do anything on their own. Both did great damage to our free market economic system that still plagues us today.

Then again, it can be argued that none other than Lincoln started the ball ruling down the hill to where we are today. Yes he was instrumental in ending slavery, but he was also the shining beacon that, through war, ended the notion that The People and state governments have dominion over the federal government.

Regardless of how, when, and by whom it all started, the progressives have been on tract to completely destroy all that America has accomplished and stands for, for a mighty long time. It's just been recently that We The People have started standing our ground. And it's been recently that the pace of destroying this nation has increased dramatically. This road to destruction has transcended all political parties. It is a disease that needs cured. Whether they admit it or not, they subscribe to the theories of Karl Max, the original communist.

Start telling yourself, "I don't need the government to do it for me." Stop being a slave and you will start seeing miracles."

The above is a quote from Common Sense by Glenn Beck. I suggest it needs to be read by the entire population of this country. It was inspired by Thomas Paine, who's version is reprinted in the back of the book.
