WHAT WILL THEY FORCE YOU TO DO NEXT?

Bob Beckle states angrily on "The Five" 
"IF WE CAN FORCE THEM ON CAR INSURANCE WE CAN FORCE THEM ON HEALTH CARE"
Wow this is the nut in the nutshell.  Bob Beckle was arguing the point that if the Obama Care mess is made unconstitutional then 40 million people would be without health care.  Then after a few more rounds back and forth he angrily stated, "If we can force people to buy car insurance then we can force them to buy health insurance".  Instead of going over Obama Care, car insurance and how totally ignorant Bob Beckle is let's discuss the real issue here. 

The philosophy that it is OK to use force for the greater good and because we think we know better we should be able to force them to do things our way.  This is not freedom but forcedumb!
This is an absolutely scary thing because that is what many people like Bob Beckle think is the way to get things done.  The government is the ultimate carrier of force, but that force should be used to defend against foreign invaders and domestic violence against it's citizens freedom to live their life the way they choose.  The government is given this power of ultimate force for that reason and that reason only.  Although many have and still do believe that "WE" should force people to do what "WE" think is right for them.  This is the exact opposite of freedom and should not be tolerated by citizens of a free country.

You can look all over and see examples of this philosophy which is the ugly cousin to the philosophy "because they can afford it" which is also being throw out left and right. 

The next time you hear this you need to make the point that no one has the right to force anyone to do what they don't want to do.  Yes this means that some will make some bad decisions despite the facts but that is a by product of freedom.  Freedom has to be first over anything else. 

What will they FORCE YOU TO DO NEXT?

How bad do you want to be great?

No matter what your passion it takes the same process to be great.
Decide what you want to do and then make an I will statement that includes finishing with your desired goal.  An example...... I will be a great ....... by doing ....... every moment until I achieve. 

Say and talk about your plan so you can create a clear visual picture of your steps and success then do the actionable items until you achieve.  With goal based decision making assiting you along the way it is just a matter of time before you achieve.  If an action applies to your goal then you do it and if it does not then you don't do it.  Your right to chose your path is the key and also why it is so important to live in a society that allows freedom of choice.

Obituary of a Democratic Republic

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

Obituary--Very Interesting In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of
Edinborough, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some
2,000 years prior:
 
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts
from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for
the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with
the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal
policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
 
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of
history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations
always progressed through the following sequence:
 
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2008            
 
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul,
Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last
Presidential election:
 
Number of States won by:              Obama: 19                   McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by:        Obama: 580,000         McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:    Obama: 127 million  McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:  Obama: 13.2    McCain: 2.1 
 
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income
tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached
the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the
USA  in fewer than five years.
 
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much
is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

This is truly scary! Of course we are not a democracy, we are a
Constitutional Republic.  Someone should point this out to Obama. Of
course we know he and too many others pay little attention to The
Constitution.  There couldn't be more at stake than on Nov 2012.

Freedom

Freedom of choice to live your life the way you want and the right to defend that freedom is what makes the United States of America so great.
