Calling All Freedom Lovers...

America's government is spiraling out of control. Increased executive powers, the creation of ever more bureaucracy and red tape, uncontrollable government spending, programs, handouts, bailouts...all of it with the best of intentions. All of it aimed-outwardly, at least- at making America safer. Healthier. Smarter. More prosperous.

But is it really working?

There is no doubt that America today faces problems. Health care isn't perfect. The economy has seen better days. The school system often leaves much to be desired. But is increasing government involvement in these and other spheres really the best solution?

I would suggest not. That with these problems, as with many other things in life, the correct response is "less is more." In this case, less government regulation and involvement means more wealth, better education, healthier people, and, most importantly of all, more personal freedom and individual liberty. In other words, more of what this country was founded on. More of what our Founding Fathers fought to protect.

We don't need more government. We need less of it. Less government and more freedom. A return to the ideas of individual liberty and limited government that the Founders of our nation believed in and outlined in the Constitution. We need to stop listening to the hysterical cries that only the government can save us and start returning that power to ourselves. We need a return to the principles on which our country was founded, to the ideals of early America. What we need, in the midst of the problems that face us, and the myriad of proposed government "solutions" is nothing more than a little common sense.

So that's why I'm here, blogging away. Just doing my bit to keep the glory days of the American Revolution alive and well.
