Glenn? Give up? That would definitely be change! If you know anything about him, which we all should by this point, then you know that core principles are Glenn's fuel and compass, so he won't be giving up and I'm heavily confident that we won't be either.
We're all shocked when hear the word "change" because we've only seen bad, dumb, deceitful and corruptive change daily for a long time, but when the right people are effecting it, change is greatly welcome. Our founders brought phenomenal change. Wilson, FDR & Carter brought pitiful change. Reagan brought great change. And now, change is a marketing tool used to battle against our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Independence, but the direction of the battle can be changed too, through education, gatherings, votes and support of ethical representation, so start putting some cash aside to support people who can bring the RIGHT kind of change! We'll all be out here, website or not, but I don't see a "Close Out" sign on the website, just a plan to change it.
Beyond what our founders referred to as Providence, there is one thing that keeps this country on track, growing, prospering, succeeding on the principles of freedom, liberty and independence and that is the TRUTH! I'm talking about the information that, if all Americans had and understood, our country's current path would not even be a possibility. It would be loudly condemned at every voting booth across the land every 2 years. There has been a great success rate of division, deceit and indoctrination that gives the truth more value than ever, which gives massive value to those who find and tell the truth, so thanks to all who do. When deception is the means of success, how noble can the cause be?
I'm just wondering if the website's change will cost the $18,000,000 that the recovery site will. Is that the new bar?
One last thing that I'd suggest is the establishment of an idea pool. There are many ways that people can unite and converse and develop ideas or they can develop them on their own. It would be great to have a central, SECURE, trustworthy place to send them where actual patriotic leadership can sift through them and unite us as the ultimate interest group in presenting them to current or potential future representation.
CONSTITUTIONAL MATH
Add Government = Subtract Freedom
Add More Government = Subtract more Freedom
An infinite and 100% accurate formula.
That's at the heart of my evaluation of all proposed solutions, so obviously, this current group of "representation" has me feeling physically ill just about every day!
What if we all just stay home ... broke, poor, hungry, dying off to reduce the population and unable to defend ourselves? WIll that make "the playing field level" enough to make these people stop this endless barrage of tax stealing knot twisting across America? I doubt it! Every idea just comes off as being designed to tie down our economy, our prosperity, our defense and our freedom. Sorry, people, that's just how I feel. Say what you feel before they make a law eliminating free speech on the web! ... YEAH! That idea's been proposed too. Land of the free?
How do you find those groups? I usually call representative offices. I'd be interested in seeing your presentation and making parent groups aware of it. I'd add my support for teaching proven economic methods and state and US Constitution education. If you want to, put the update on your site and start a new topic thread in another section and post the link to that thread here to make me aware of it.
I also think that it would be good for this topic and others, to have groups (the larger, the better) show up at representative offices (instead of TEA parties) with a written list of issues and preferred solutions that apply to that representative and have one person speak for the group and present the list, hopefully to the rep, but at least to his/her office with the message to let him/her know that the group was there representing even larger numbers.
Now we're getting somewhere! Unite at State Levels. Back down the Federal government take over by restoring the power to where it legally belongs. It's much easier to demand responsible governing at the State and local level.
Sure! I'm not presenting a campain platform, a full answer or speaking exclusively about education. 1. I'm just using education to make some points and I'm saying that "more spending as a solution" for everything has failed us on results. 2. I agree with you that "Free Market" Business & Economics needs to be reinstalled in standard education AND all of the things I mentioned in Pt. 2 -- "our history, our founders, their research base (The government structure put forth by the Anglo Saxons, the Israelites, Cicero, Natural Law and the economic structures of Adam Smith), their spritual guidance, reason for establishing the government they did (A Republic) & not others (Communism, Socialism, Progressivism, Oligarchy etc.) " should be reinstalled as well. 3. Poor education results stem from poor education. Results are directly related to content. Just as the expression goes "You are what you eat", it's also true that you are what you know and you know what you're taught. Knowledge is power.
And one last thing I'd mention is that as far as this website goes, it would be good to have a reader on these response boxes to tell us when we're near the limit of too many letters in a post. Currently, I have some thoughts and type them out and then I get an alert that my response is too long when I try to submit it. I delete parts and and try to submit several more times as I keep cutting out parts of sentences. Finally, I have success and my reply is posted and sent to the original poster ...... then I reread what actually was accepted and sent. It is very different than what I wanted to say, so I edit what has been posted and make it say what I intended (in less words), but the initial post email still stands and misrepresents me. Just thought I'd mention that. a reader would be useful. Thank you very much.
First, I hear you. My education point is that our core principles are needed. I believe that better results come from better knowledge. Money is not a replacement for it. Obviously ... keep covering operating expenses. The biggest problem? Politically established curriculum & policies, not lack of funding. Stop spending as a solution. Education is one example of many where politicians attempt to fix problems with money & business as usual. We have power seekers who hold our representative seats, but having power isn't the job.It's our representative's job to develop real solutions. That's the job. Can't balance the budget? Then no new programs should be established. Cut programs and redistribute THAT money! We have handout systems that grew from assistance programs & organizations feeding off of tax funding without oversight or publicly open ledgers. We have a lot of diverted money. I'd like to see the cap and trade ideas used on government programs, not industry. Set long term goals to back them down like they do with mileage requirements! It's actually a good idea to cap diverted funds and trade it for responsibility and freedom!
Pt 5 - Final thoughts.
1. Education needs to UNITE Americans as one people under one Constitution and one Bill of Rights.
2. JFK, Reagan and Bush 43 proved that low taxes work better than what's currently proposed, so that idea is "Self Evident".
3. Our founders studied centuries of good and bad government. I think that they did far more research on previous governments, their successes and failures than any current politician. I think that our current politicians just need to study the founders as a sort of "Cheat Sheet" to have knowledge of good government. The words they wrote and the way the first 3 or 4 presidents followed their own words demonstrate quite clearly how MOST of our current issues should be dealt with. What isn't detailed still leads the way with detailed principles. Our current "Representation" WANTS to do things like children want things, but those types of wants have contradicted "Good Government" far too often and the results are obvious. I think that we have a lot of Breach of Contract cases in our government. The oaths need to be honored or we have no representation.
Pt.4 From there? Yeah, It's time to present ideas everyone ... For starters. My quick, off the top of my head ideas are as follows. Start backing down the handout programs. Cut the Red Tape programs that cripple society and small business. Cape and Trade is the newest example. Don't start another. Decrease, not increase. Back government down to its place as defined in the Constitution. Expose the books of the Fed. Let's see what's going on there. .. Move to a Fair Tax. Open access to our own abundant resources. Let's use what need to and grow the economy, create jobs and meet our own needs. Let's be self sufficient and allow FREE MARKET alternatives to present themselves from PRIVATE investors and inventors. Natural gas vehicles seems like a good idea. Let the buying public decide, Not the government. Help private doctors Establish private health care donation offices/ Clinics for people in need. KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT! Politicians can promote them, but cannot RUN them or finance them with other people's money! Restore the things I mentioned above to our educational systems. Restore free market education. In my opinion ..... all of the above.
