Dad's Day

Yeah, this is Father's Day. Those of us who are fathers have a special bond of things in common. We all want the best for our kids. We want them to be able to enjoy life and the pursuit of happiness. We want our sons and daughters to enjoy the fruits of their labor. This is America, the land of the free and the brave...

But when we look at the direction America has been going over the past several years, we begin to wonder. Is this the decline of America as we once knew it? Where is the government going? Why have we allowed this to happen to a GREAT country?

Let's face it, these are NOT great times in this country. Unemployment is hovering near 10% and is not going away anytime soon. American jobs are going over seas to foreign countries on a regular basis. People are loosing their houses. Government spending is out-of-control and it has become America's death knell.

All Americans see is that the government keeps spending and spending. Congress no longer listens or represents its constituents. It's giving money to those who don't work, those who are here illegally, and those who have little or no integrity. We have become a welfare state. Why work when you don't have to? Hell, why pay taxes? Almost 50% of Americans no longer do! Just hold-out your hand and let Uncle Sam help you out.

Are these the values that made America great? What are we allowing to happen? What are we doing to our future generations? Do you actually believe that your grandchildren will be able to pay the debt that WE have created in the recent few years?

Honestly, no they will not be able to pay the national debt. They will have a much lower standard of living as a result. America is headed in a downward direction unless we do something to stop it.

Action to Take
Say no to government hand-outs. Demand that we stop government spending and balance the budget. Stop giving America away to those who do not deserve it! Stop giving up YOUR freedoms to a bigger government.

AND: Happy Father's Day!
