Remember the fear of the rebels when they heard about the Death Star and it’s potential effects on their everyday lives? It brought out of them the motivation and call to action. They did not sit ideally by as the Death Star was built, they moved and acted as soon as they knew about those plans. The reason being was that it would take time to build up a resistance and to gather the support they would eventually need in order to overcome the Empire. Well in a very real sense, we as citizens of this great country are facing a similar problem. We are faced with the very real effects of the massive spending that the current administration is proposing. Those pesky Congressional Budget Office members, why do they have to ruin all the fun with their inconvenient numbers concerning the national deficits. I don’t want to beat a dead horse here but let’s have a closer look at the numbers that they posted.

For all the talk we get about Bush’s deficit (which I’m not going argue the liberals against because it does make the Republicans kind of look like hypocrites) look at the comparison. We cannot become a welfare state. That is not the government’s role in our lives. Their job is to protect our rights and those that are granted to them SPECIFICALLY by the Constitution. It’s is not the government’s jobs to raise us from cradle to grave. The reason is precisely this, under our current form of government and that of the founding fathers, it’s unsustainable. We cannot afford it. It should not be the role of government to pander to a specific demographic, culture or people. The laws that are passed by government should be for the general welfare of the people.
We as citizens of this country need to realize the very real dangers of this type of spending in government and its real world consequences to us and our children. I hope you all will be proactive in your involvement with your local and national campaigns and movements to help bring about the conservative change we so badly need in our government.
