Synopsis Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 One would think that Reason and Common Sense would be able to parse all the rhetoric from errant idiotologies. Just because something is right and dutiful for any and all citizens to exercise apart from Government influences is no cause for contempt or consternation. Ronald Reagan is quoted here Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan Hey, I REALLY like this one: The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. Ronald Reagan The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Ronald Reagan We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. Ronald Reagan Hey, how is this last one for Personal Acknowledgement, Personal Responsibility, AND Personal Ownership???!!! Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15. Ronald Reagan Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. Ronald Reagan Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem. Ronald Reagan OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Ronald Reagan No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin. Ronald Reagan They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. Ronald Reagan The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much. Ronald Reagan Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence. Ronald Reagan I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'. Ronald Reagan Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. Ronald Reagan Let us ask ourselves, 'What kind of people do we think we are?' And let us answer, 'Free people, worthy of freedom and determined not only to remain so but to help others gain their freedom as well.' Ronald Reagan Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them. Ronald Reagan https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/ronald_reagan And so on and so forth............................... For Your enjoyment while for some, regrettably, their much needed and highly delayed enlightenment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synopsis Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 So, for some with sensitive eyes and feelings believing I only copy and paste, I'll peel back the curtain just a little. Here are some things I came up with fifteen years ago of my own volition. Maybe not original but my own estimation of values. The heart of the nation is the center four (Equal Justice, Constitution, Free Thinking/Responsible Individuals, and Allegiance). The soul of the nation is the center top two and center bottom two (Personal Ownership, Territory, Security/Technology, and Military) The conscience of the nation is the middle two on the left and the middle two on the right (Blackstone, U.S. Constitution, Judiciary, and Law Enforcement). The strength of the nation is the four corners (Magna Carte, The Bible, Executive/Legislative, and Unique Economy). There are relationships between the Physical and Foundation such as the Executive/Legislative and Military, Territory and Security/Technology, Personal Ownership and The Bible, Magna Carte and Unique Economy and others. Each of the items in the matrix here have their unique and definitive definition that for brevity I will not include here. I only post for viewing and consideration. Here is a diagram of the balance of necessary items: Any one of these spheres of influence left to themselves is highly problematic. The balance of them all would suggest the most necessary form of government is the County Government. More can be said about the health and integrity of any community by what happens on the County Fair Grounds year around with the types and amounts of activities relevant to the community while still having exposure to the County Government elected and appointed individuals so that Government is of the people, by the people, and (notably) for the people. Here is the culmination of the aspirations of We the People and making the best use of the God Given Reason and Common Sense to avert enslavement of any sort. Personal Responsibility begins with the person the the nuclear family (one man married to one woman with associated minors), extended family, church, community, and (lastly) the County without State or Federal interference. The Functional Sphere is anything physical necessary to conduct one's affairs apart from external impositions. As such, Personal Ownership is key while Government only apportions Appropriate Taxation with Moral constraints. Willful Freedoms are a balance between the Functional and Moral Spheres with limited framework provided by the Government. Lastly, the Moral Sphere is the Chuch (Body Of Jesus Christ) that provides the Basis for Principled Governance so that the Government can provide Laws and Policy only where necessary. Well, these are my thoughts and I am stuck to them. Enjoy! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
