After a two year hiatus to get my MBA, American Dad is back and ready for the 2012 election. It has been a long time and I am happy to get back to writing my blog. This election year is one of the most important in recent memory because another four years of failed government intervention in the economy and our personal lives will hurt the United States of America.
Conservatism is about individual freedom and the ability become more than the circumstances around you. Not everyone chooses to make themselves better, some like being dependent and playing the victim card. But that is there choice, it is not and should not be the governments job to make those that make themselves better feel ashamed and force them to pay for those that choose not to better themselves.
Government should help those that cannot help themselves, but they should not help those that only want a free ride. The current leaders in government think that the only way people get wealthy is by suppressing others or stealing from them. There are businesses and other people that do hurt people to make a profit, but that is not all businesses or people.
As Ronald Reagan once said, “Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem.” President Reagan also understood that a large centralized government will lead to a loss of liberty. Here is another quote from the President, “Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.” For our country to prosper in the future, the government needs to stop trying to control the lives of its citizens and our economy.
The United States of America is a Republic where government is limited by the constraints placed upon it by the Constitution. The Constitution is designed to save us from a government that wants to control our daily lives. Government can be controlled if we control the term limits of those in Congress so they do not become career politicians. We as Americans have the power if we will only use it!
God Bless,
American Dad
