There has never been a successful self help guru that has touted government
dependence as the way to self sufficiency and success.  If you help enough people get
what they want you will end up getting what you want.  Gov doesnt give it just takes.     


Government has proven it is not the answer to any nations problems.  Good, truthful, solid
education is the answer.  Poorly educated people means big government.  Well educated
people means smaller more efficient government.    

We are a great Union.  We are a great nation because we are a people with a common
goal.  Freedom.  We are a great nation because we have a governing document, the
Constitution, which protects our individual freedom.  We can only stop being great if we
allow someone to destroy that governing document.     

You will save far more tax dollars if you limited the Federal Government to its
Constitutional limits.  Social program spending for people not producing or contributing to
society has never worked and never will work.  History teaches us this.   

Government is meant to protect society from outside threats like bad weather, but instead
waste money on giving out "free" stuff to citizens.  Society cannot stand if government
shirks its first and main duty.  

Government mandates cannot do more than the private sector engaged in pure
capitalism.  Capitalism creates what the public wants and Government mandates force
people to take stuff the public doesn't want.  

Freedom means that you are responsible for your own life.  If someone else controls your
life, then it is impossible for you to live your own dream.  You will always be living for the
acquisition of someone else's dream.  

Its OK to blindly follow your God in your faith.  But, one can never blindly follow a single
man or party.  That has never been a good idea and indeed if you do so, you will be hurt
by that man or party.  History proves it.

Its more compassionate to help those who want to help themselves than it is to keep folks
poor by providing them with stolen money taken from those who produce.

If you take from a legit rich man all that he has, he will be a legit rich man again soon.  Its
all about the will to use God given talent.

Life is not a movie and violence is not sexy.  Its deadly and it can be forever life changing.

Personal selfishness has given us many great inventions while group selfishness has
given us tyrants.

How do you create jobs by taking away the money the job creators need to create new
jobs?  New Math?

Justice is blind only when politicians are not involved.

If you are protesting 9 to 5 you are not working and thus not contributing to the greater
good.

Steve Jobs would not approve of the Occupy Wall Street crowd.  Jobs actually worked for
his money.
Even if you take all they have, in short order the rich will be rich again.

Those who wish to live life free are sinning because they are not using Gods gifts to their
fullest.

Freedom is not given by government, it is given by God and protected by government.

A Gov that is broke cannot lift its poor out of poverty.

Small government is good government. It means governing, not ruling.

A nation without secure borders is not a nation for long.  History proves this.

No man can take care of you better than you can take care of yourself.  You become a
slave when you depend on someone else.

No matter how you look at it, more laws equals less freedom.

There is no greater responsibility than that of protecting freedom for your posterity to
enjoy.

Taking capitol out of the private sector limits that sectors ability to grow the economy and
thus limits responsible government.

Only the private sector can create.  All the government can do is take from those who
create.

To a Liberal, too much of a good thing is still not enough.

To fix the economy, the best thing Obama can do is get out of the way of the American
people and let them fix it.

The more laws and regulations you have the less freedom you have.  The less freedom
you have the more dependent you become on the gov.

More government equals less individual freedom and more tyranny.  Less government
obviously equals more individual freedom and less tyranny.

The people you can depend on most in your life are yourself and your family and friends.  
The government cannot help you better than your inner circle
.

Logic like Faith is not for the weak of heart of feeble of mind.

Feel with your heart and think with your brain but always let logic rule over both.

Personality is not a way to choose a political candidate.  Their logic, policy and true
beliefs is what one should examine.  Leave personality to the TV Talk Shows.

There is no greater service than that of serving your fellow man in a way that improves his
life.  That does not mean give him money, it means serve, to help.

Emotions have their place but that place is not in political policy.

When you ask a question, then the only thing you should want is the truth, not what you
think or believe but the actual real truth.

More gov regulation gives liberals exactly what they say they don't want, big corporations
running small business out of business.

More gov regulation gives liberals exactly what they say they don't want, big corporations
running small business out of business.

Garbage thought put into the mind will give you garbage out of the mind which gives us
garbage in government and life.

The only way a public employee gets a raise is if a private citizen takes a pay cut because
he gets taxed more.

Government cannot give you more freedom.  Government can only protect or take
freedom from you.

If one person can make then anyone of a similar background can make it. God didn't
make junk.

You cannot be afraid of an outcome because of the law. You have to pursue truth
because of the law or you wont have law anywhere.

You cannot print money to pay off old debts.  It has never worked in history.  

Giving your kids to a public school system is the same as indoctrination. Look at how
many now thing Government is the answer and not the problem.

A government has to be more wise with its money than the private family because there is
so much more at stake. An entire nation not just a small family is at stake.

If you think logically, there is no way you can remain a liberal which is why liberals refuse
to think with their logical brain.

Excellence breeds opportunity in every area of life including in politics.  But one also
needs the freedom to pursue those opportunities.

Opportunity is all around you but only if you are of a mindset to take advantage of it.  A
government must take care of me doesn't work.

If you want to be first in your field of business, just pursue excellence because your
competitor probably isn't.

Mediocrity is a death sentence for a nation.  When all you expect from others is less than
their best then you will be in trouble.

Liberals are hypocrites and they don't even know it because they are too busy feeling
instead of thinking which is why their brains are shrinking.

Packers have a better team on paper but stats don't win the game. Steelers want it more
so I think they will win the title.

You don't have people who are well fed, well clothed, well housed uprising.  Only those
who are oppressed and starving take to the streets.

You know you are in trouble when people start saying that those who actually follow the
law of the land are the activists.

You cannot support liberty for other nations when you are actively trying to deny liberty
for your own people.

Fear rules our world not because of how we want to live but it rules the world because of
how we have lived.

Stupid people are teaching our kids in public school so how do you expect to turn out
smart kids?

The more responsibility you take for your own life the less you will need government to do
the job for you.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. Government is a few
telling the many that only the few are important.

You cannot stimulate an economy by taking the money out of the pockets of the people.

Making law abiding citizens criminals by changing laws does not make for a safer society.  
Indeed it makes that society even more dangerous.

There is no greater life than a life lived with freedom.  God ordained you to be free.  
Government is ordained by God to protect your freedom.

Your freedom is the greatest gift other than your life.  Indeed life and freedom go hand in
hand otherwise you really have no life.

The old notion that freedom is not free should tell our allies that they now need to pay for
the protection from the USA and its military.

Federal government is not designed to take care of local issues and many people know
this.  Local means local and it also means freedom.

Freedom comes from within you not from the government. In fact government only takes
away freedom and it limits your choice to live your life as you see fit.

You have to know history so that you know how best to improve your future.  Knowing
what the Founding Fathers intended is important so you know how to steer our
government back to the constitution

Whenever you have a government solution to a problem you lose freedom.  Government
never wants to lessen its power but is willing to lessen your freedom.

It doesn't matter why a person does something as inhuman as the Arizona shooter.  They
do something evil and you punish it, period.

The Right Wing often gets the blame for tragedy in our nation even as the proof points to
the Left Wing.

Everyone needs to change their personal economies from a consumer based one to an
investment based one.

The Constitution is the law of the land and if we are a nation of laws then it would seem
prudent to follow this law of which all other laws are derived.

Freedom can only be taken away by two means, military force and by slowly taking it away
bit by bit just as our government is doing to us today.

There is no greater taste for a man than the taste of freedom.  One bite and you will
always want more.

Rules and Regulations should not be equal to Laws because its unconstitutional.  After all
we the people are represented by un-elected officials who regulate.

Freedom means putting up with stuff you don't like as well as stuff you do like.  After all
someone else may not like what you do.

A politico who says he is for something when history has proven he has not been, is still
not for that issue.

A politico who says he is for something when history has proven he has not been, is still
not for that issue.

One has to ask the right questions in order to get the real truth.  The Lame Stream Media
doesn't has the right questions so its hard to get the truth.

The government never has a tax revenue problem.  All money belongs to the people who
earn it.  So that means the government has a spending problem.

The Constitution is meant to protect your God given rights not to give you anything.

Government doesn't create wealth only the private sector can do that.  But Government
can destroy wealth by taxing people to death.

Liberals love money too.  They love their own money so much they want you to spend
yours so they don't have to spend theirs.  Maybe thats why they like taxes but not
charities.

Liberals love money too.  They love their own money so much they want you to spend
yours so they don't have to spend theirs.  Maybe thats why they like taxes but not
charities.

At some point the people have to say, "it's my money not the governments.  I worked hard
and long for this not my Senator."  That is when unfair taxation will come to an end.

There is no greater joy than the joy of freedom.  Ask someone who has it for the first time
in their life and they will tell you.  So don't be so quick to give up your freedom for
anything.

Taking $100 dollars out of the market and then giving back $75 is not how you stimulate
an economy yet thats what our government would have you believe about higher taxes for
everyone.

Government in a free society is ruled by the people. In an oppressed society government
rules the people.

Those who wish to take away your liberty to give you security don't want you to have
liberty or security.

The best part of the year is the holiday season for our liberty is safe and secure so long
as Congress is not in session.

The Constitution is not an option for the government...its a requirement.

Never let someone tell you that you do not have command over your own body.  You give
in once and they will forever expect you to do so again and again on demand.

Nothing is ever really free.  Someone always has to pay.  When it comes to Govt.
programs that someone is every single taxpayer.

Change does not have to mean destruction. If change means to destroy freedom then I
suggest you keep the status quo.

Government doesn't create a single right.  But it can take them away, but only if the
people let them do so

Good government is when you live your daily life and you don't even notice it.  Bad
government is when you wish you could forget it.

Personal freedom is the core of our Constitution. Its personal freedom not government
intervention that makes us a great nation.

A nation that fails to defend its society from all threats great and small will soon cease to
have that nation and society.

Freedom is not free but the price for it is surely not bigger government.  Freedom is
smaller government.

When you grant someone else the ability to take care of you, then you also grant them
the ability to treat you like a child and make rules you don't like

When ever there is a problem you don't wish to face, you go on vacation.  I can see why
our president is heading to Asia for 10 days.  He needs to meditate.

Our system works best when the people participate and then make sure the elected
representatives do what we elected them to do...leave our freedom alone.

Vote today, there is no greater way to make your mark on the future than by voting today.

Voting is the best way to express how you want your nation to be lead and how you want it
run...so I guess if you vote Liberal you want high taxes and high debt.

The scariest thing there is having freedom and watching someone or a government slowly
take it from you.

Freedom does not mean government provides things for free.  In fact government
services are very expensive.

There is no greater satisfaction than actually earning your "keep".  Giving a man his keep
makes him feel like a slave or worse.

To stimulate an economy, you have to put money in the hands of the people and you do
that with tax cuts not raising their taxes.

If one truly loves them self, they would never let someone else try to run their life.  If
someone hates them self, they will try to run others lives to make themselves feel better.

If time is money, then how much of your time has the government stolen from you in the
form of high taxes?

In times of great need and struggle, the best people to rely upon are family, not
government.  Family cares and will try harder to help.

Rods Law: If something can go wrong, then government will find a way to make sure it
does.

There is no substitute for hard work and sheer determination, unless you are a
Democrat.  Then all you have to do is take it from someone else.

Government of any size cannot work without individual personal responsibility.

Smaller government mean bigger pay checks and more freedom for you and your family.  

The Constitution is not more important than life, in a way it IS life.  Without it, our way of
life would not exist.

Not working for your dinner makes one lazy.  It also makes one expect to have dinner
given to him every night.

Logic never changes.  It has worked for mankind since the dawning of time.  What
changes is enlightenment and it changes because it never works.

Government should control its finances just like an individual should control their
finances...responsibly.

The USA is the last great hope for mankind.  If the USA falls, the planet falls and freedom
will die for generations.

Taking money out of the private sector has never in the history of mankind boosted the
economy of the private sector.  It only boost government.

When your political leaders ignore your nation's laws, how can you expect the regular
citizens to obey those laws?

Legalizing current illegal immigrants will not fix the problem.  We tried that in the 80's and
all we got was even more illegal immigrants.

There is no free anything when it comes to government.  Just look at Bell CA.  They
thought they were getting a lot for free.

Socially Liberal and Fiscally Conservative is an oxymoron.  One cannot support the other
by the very nature of each.

If you elect a thief to office, you can't be surprised when he steals from you and calls it
taxes.

The more FREE stuff you demand from government, the higher all of your taxes will go.  
Nothing is totally FREE.

Government that decides one area of your life will eventually decide every area of your
life.

There is no freedom in "Government Takeover" which means government takeover of
health care equals no freedom for you to chose the kind of care you want for yourself and
your family.

Politicians can't do anything for you that you cannot do for yourself, cheaper, faster and
better.

Logic and Common Sense are not so hard as long as you turn off your heart and think
with your brain for even 30 seconds.

If its possible to do harm with inaction in spite of accurate information, then it is equally
possible to do harm with action due to inaccurate information.  Global Warming is not
immune to such forces.

You cannot get something to happen in reality if you truly do not believe in it within your
own heart.  Obama doesn't believe in victory so he will never win any war.

True Conservatism dates all the way back to the beginning.  It worked for Adam and Eve
and it still works in 2009 AD and it will always work.  Its God's law.

In times of great need it is even more important to make sure you teach a man to fish
instead of giving him the fish.  Only then will he rise above and raise others and the
economy with him.

You cannot argue with an emotional Liberal.  Its like trying to get a 2 year old to
understand logic and reason.

Global Warming Hoax is nothing new.  Whenever you have a group that wants to run your
life without scientific proof you can bet there is a huge hoax behind the movement.

A true Liberal doesn't care about helping others, they only care about control over your
life.

Small minds often tend to dream up big ideas in order to control open and free minds.  
Global Warming is a prime example

If Liberals ever want to give you something, lock your wallet, hide your kids, and brace for
impact because they are gonna make your life harder, not easier.  Always have.

When it comes right down to it, the left doesn't really want you to change your lifestyle,
they really want to control your life.

If everyone who wanted to move to the USA could do so, we would grow our population by
more than 50% to over 460 million people. We are still the beacon of freedom around the
world.

Most Americans are Right of the Political Center so it would do our GOP Leaders good to
nominate candidates that equal the thoughts of the People if they want to win.

Conservatives have not budged from what they believe...its been the Liberal that has
moved farther to the left making it seem like Conservatives have become more "extreme"

Ruling and governing by emotions always creates more problems and never leads to
happiness.  Happiness comes from freedom and emotional governing leads to oppression.

What happens when you let everyone interpret the Constitution?  You get 300 million
versions.  Thats not democracy of any kind that is total anarchy.

Wealth is more than just money and possessions.  Its also your mind.  And if Liberals
could tax thought wealth, they would.

Taxes have always been used to keep the many in servitude to the few.  History proves it.  
Liberals embrace it.  You never own anything if you always have to pay taxes in order to
keep it.

There is nothing on this planet that is more important than your God given freedom.
Indeed for without that freedom you don't even have the option to openly worship that
very God.

When you allow government to take care of you, then you allow that same government to
rule over you and decide what is good or bad for you.  You no longer have a voice.

People and Nations grow when the people have self pride and do for themselves.  History
shows nations die when people depend on government for their daily life.

When you give government the power to help you live, then you give them the power to
tell you how to live.  That's why Welfare is such a crime and failure.

The only way to ensure prosperity for the majority of people on the planet is to give them
all the freedom to pursue their hopes and dreams.

When you are free to go after your dream, then the your whole community, your whole
nation benefits.

It doesn't take a community to feed a family.  It takes an individual using his God given
gifts and sweat to feed his family.

When someone says only a certain group is the target of their limited laws, it means that it
will only be a matter of time before that same law applies to you.

You don't have to embrace another opinion in order to be open minded.  Besides those
who claim you are closed minded are projecting their closed mind upon you.

When ever a Liberal says that they want to help, you should lock your wallet, lock your
doors and make plans for the end of civilization because that is what their ideas lead to.

Freedom is not free.  Indeed, it cost a lot.  Sometimes with your life.  But life without
freedom is nothing but death.  They just don't bury you for 65 years.

Americans with a huge and powerful army, are peaceful.  But if we cut our military, we will
eventually end up singing a different national anthem.

Feelings often change but logic based on facts and principles never change.  A true
Conservative is logical and factual.  A Liberal is all about their feelings.

There is only one reason for big government.  To control your life and limit your choice...
your freedom and liberty.  No other reason has ever existed.

There is truth and wisdom in logic.  Those who shun logic shun wisdom and truth.  Which
is why they get angry with those who use logic and truth.

You can get a better education outside of college by reading and learning on your own.  
Business knows this which is why they say forget what you learned, we'll teach you reality.

If you allow someone else to give you money, they you let them determine your life and
lifestyle.

If you vote for those who gave you high unemployment then you deserve to be
unemployed.

You can't rule from feelings and experiences based on feelings or else you will lose your
freedoms.

God didn't give us government to take care of our every need.  He gave us government to
protect us from enemies so we could be free to take care of ourselves.

The way to stop a radical enemy is to use their own tactics on them.  Let them taste their
own medicine and then they will be less likely to use them against you in the future.

You cannot base tax policy on how you feel because you would end up with very high
taxes and nothing to show for it.

Principles never change.  Principles don't know anything about our calendar. Yet
Principles are timeless and work every time they are applied.

You cannot expect to limit some one's freedom without having your own freedom limited.

Too many Americans think that the government should give them free stuff.  Well if
government pays for it, then its not free and probably cost more than in the private sector.

If you give your enemy an inch they will take a mile.  That is just human nature based on
human history.  It is insanity to think otherwise.

You are your own best source of help.  Not the government.  For what the government
gives, the government can take.  What God gives no man can take

Principles are like a rock.  You stand on principle and you will always stand on firm ground.

Martin Luther King, Jr. got it right.  Its about the content of ones character, not the color of
ones skin.  After all we are all of the HUMAN race.

The Constitution is the authority.  If it doesn't say the Fed can do it then they CAN'T and
shouldn't do it.  Period

The only way to get the best out of every one is to judge them solely by the content of
their character, not the color of their skin.

We live in a Democratic Republic.  Not a Socialist or Police state.  We have rights
protected by the Constitution

Its only a "right" if it doesn't infringe on someone else.  Breathing is a right but eating is
not.  Christ even said so.  How would Health Care be a right over food?

You can read to a Liberal what a bill says word for word and they will still say you are the
liar.  You can't fix stupid.

Nothing in government except for the public safety is ever done better than in the private
sector.  But it always cost more in government.

The truth is always best even if it something you do not want to hear.  A lie will only get
you into big trouble later on even if it something you do wish to hear.

If its unconstitutional that the Federal Government can't do it.  How hard is it to
understand that the law is the law.  If our government can't follow the law then they can't
expect the citizens to follow it.

We are all of the Human Race.  Black or Asian or White is not a race, its an ethnicity.  We
are all Human.

If you give up your liberty and freedom then you cannot complain when someone else
does not give you what you want or expect.

You cant raise taxes, spend money and hope economy will do better.  History has proven
it NEVER works.

Humans achieve greatness only when they have the freedom to pursue that greatness.

When you talk to a representative, you are actually talking to the people they represent.  
That is the basis of a representative government.  We don't have rulers

When you let someone take care of your basic needs, you are no longer a free citizen but
a subject.  And that always leads to tyranny.

You don't have a right to the earnings of others.  But you do have a right to work hard
and match or exceed the earnings of others.

Balance is not when you have an elected official who upholds the Constitution and one
who subverts it.  That makes no sen

Feelings cannot dictate how you rule.  We are a nation of laws not a nation rule by man.  
No society can stand being ruled by the whims of man.  We are no exception.

Doing the logical and right thing is always honorable.  Liberals tend to disregard honor for
feelings which always leads to the rest of us suffering.

Doing the logical and right thing is always honorable.  Liberals tend to disregard honor for
feelings which always leads to the rest of us suffering

A body of people that cannot even get its own check books in order sure cant properly
spend the collected money of a nation.

Even when you don't keep score, the kids do.  Winning an losing is a part of life and
protecting kids from losing only sets them up to fail hard as adults.

Freedom means YOU make the choice, not that the government makes the choice for you.

You never know what you can lose until you have lost it, then its usually too late to get it
back.  Freedom is like that.

History never repeats an important person, it just gives the people someone new who is
perfect for that time period.

If you give up liberty for safety you will soon find that you don't have either liberty nor
safety.

You cannot make laws based on feelings to protect the minority without hurting the
feelings of the majority.

Logic is like principles, it does change with the whim of people.  Feelings change hour by
hour.  Civilization is built on logic and principle, it would collapse if built on feelings.

Government cannot do for you better than what you can do for yourself.  God made us all
with the ability to tend to our own needs.

Words have meaning and if you change meanings to fit your own self interest you
undermine society and freedom.

Words have meanings and cannot be changed just to fit how you feel at the moment lest
civilization as we know it fall to pieces

People of a nation prosper the most and in the fastest manor when they are free and
have the liberty to chose their own destiny.  Not by telling them how to live.

You cannot protect the people by tearing down the very document designed and written
to do just that.  The Constitution.

It is not logical to do things that only make you feel good but do no actual good for your,
your community or the planet.

If a man wants to take your freedom from you, then he is not your friend even if he says
he is doing it for your good because its for his own good not yours.
