I continue to be surprised and chagrined at the number of people who want the government to provide all things for them. It's as if they want the feds to be their "daddy", instead of working hard to be successful on their own. Whatever happened to the can-do spirit of America? Now we seem to be saying, I can't make it on my own. I need help. I need to rob from Peter to pay Paul. The government under the U.S. Constitution, was never meant to be like that. I think we have a large percentage of Americans who would advocate for throwing away the Constitution if they really understood what it meant.
It's frightening, really, what's happening within our government right now. Banks being taken over by the feds, Barack Obama passing out handouts with no means to pay for them. The largest deficit spending in history---four times the amount spent during the Bush administration.
This administration is quickly becoming the worst in American history.
So, who's your daddy? Do you have the courage to stand up for the principles that were set forth on this continent more than two centuries ago? Or will you let the country slide into socialism, where all of us are taken care of by a benevolent government, but none of us has any further reason to try and excel? Think about it.

I couldn't find your email address at Nauvoo, just the URL for your blog. I'd like to request you as a FB friend. You'll find me listed as Nancy Gordon.
I'm not saying I disagree with anything you have said, but shouldn't we excel simply because we want to be excellent?
I think that's what I just said. If I wasn't clear, shame on me, but that was a large part of my point.
