You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

Ronald Reagan
40th president of US (1911 - 2004)

It is with great admiration that I quote Ronald Reagan. He also lived by another quote and the credo, "Don't be afraid to see what you see".  These are the times that he referred to that will test our mettle and dedication to the truth. The endless unfair siren song of socialism is to redistribute wealth from the productive to the unproductive under pain of punishment including jail and death. The socialist feels that those who succeed in life must somehow have an unfair advantage and do not deserve to keep the fruits of their labor. This concept as a central principle under which a country operates has been proven to be disastrous every single time that it is recirculated. It led to the complete collapse of the Soviet economy run by central planning bureaucrats. The workers stopped working because it was said that they would be paid in worthless rubles whether they worked or not.

Milton Friedman correctly stated that no one looks out for someone else's money as well as their own. The United States has enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the world for a large population of 300 million largely on a jobs machine created by small business entrepreneurs  We need to re-energize small business with tax cuts to create an incentive to expand. This administration's penchant to tax the "Joe the Plumber's" of the world to share the wealth is indicative of the fact that they do begrudge wealth unless it is earned by their political allies like the unions, AIG, Citi and Goldman Sachs. We do not need to grow a huge federal bureaucracy and gargantuan deficit when simple tax cuts will stimulate the economy. We do not need to to socialize medicine before allowing cross state purchases of insurance and  tort reforms to cap malpractice ambulance chasing. The answers lie in free market solutions and less government.

Recent editions of history books have some shocking atheist revisionism as well. The terms B.C. and A.D. have been replaced by BCE and CE. Before the Common Era and Common Era. Also the era of our founding fathers before 1877 is being de-emphasized. The Constitution is the product of the minds of some of the greatest human beings whoever lived acknowledging that man is endowed with some inalienable  divine rights given by our Creator, not by the state. This Khmer Rouge-like revisionism and re-education is dangerous and wrong. The same NEA Union, socialist teachers are trying to turn children against their own parents for not believing another socialist ploy called global warming or, conveniently, climate change, when confronted with the fact that there is none. Their culprit  is carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring substance in earth's atmosphere. Where is the science in this argument? Many scientists worldwide, some former believers, say that global warming is absent in the last 12 years. The record snow this season, which Robert Kennedy, Jr. bemoaned as missing in recent years is part of the natural ebb and flow of weather and the law of averages. All these are pretexts to hide the radical transformational secular progressive wealth transfer agenda of this administration and congress.

These secular progressives go so far as to say that the state has the right to say who has the right to be born. The state can allow a women and her doctor to terminate a pregnancy for any reason and anytime. If the circumstances of the pregnancy are difficult, it is not a reason to kill an unborn child. St. Joseph stood by the Virgin Mary in very difficult circumstances to bring Jesus Christ, our Savior, into the world. If you can not see the truth that abortion is murder and wrong from that, than you are blind.

These secular progressives also believe that the American people have no right to a secret ballot in a vote for a union shop in their place of work. Furthermore, they feel that your tax dollars, should be taken, under pain of imprisonment, and given to failed business models using overstaffed, inefficient, union labor. They feel that your property taxes should be continually raised to fund the subversive teachings of the NEA to our children using a global warming lie as a wealth transfer, social re-engineering, mechanism. Similarly, they feel that the Cap & Trade punitive tax is warranted as a means to transfer wealth from the coal burning regions, including my beloved Ohio, to the coastal regions which are more dependent on hydro, wind and nuclear and southern hemisphere nations looking for a handout. An extra burden of $3,000 per year for every family in Ohio and the loss of an estimated 100,000 additional jobs with our state's unemployment rate at a high 10.8% is irresponsible and will destroy our economy.

On every turn, the truth, which has always been right below the surface, is rising to the top. Don't be afraid to see it and speak out for the truth. You can not stop the truth. It is always there and always will prevail. I am running for Republican Central Committee in Clermont County, Ohio and active in the Cincinnati and Miami Township Tea Parties in defense of it.
