Larry N,

Keep working. Work feeds the soul and matures the character. I say you're on the right track.

As is the same with charity, the clearest gauge for the prosperity of a nation is not how many entitlement programs it boasts, rather, how few it needs. So then I ask the open question: how are we doing?

Obama's goal is to boost and replicate entitlements, create more government programs, and basically create dependency on government coffers, which in turn, creates dependency on the productivity of a tiny minority of high-income earners who have no political voice. They become tax slaves while the rest of us become totally dependent on goverment, and persistently vote for whomever will give us more.

Obama is not the amiable bonehead, over his head as president, as so many would have us believe, as they try to excuse our beeline for the sewer, under his reign.

This is Vladimir Lenin 101 which results in the rescindment of liberty, poverty for all but the ruling class, and single-party rule.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
