Responsibility to Children

A friend of mine expressed concern that both parties do not fully appreciated government's role in the lives of America's children. In general, the Democratic party does not recognize a child's unalienable right to be born, and the Republican party does not recognize government's responsibility is their welfare. Here was my response:

With all respect, the philosophy of the Republican party and conservativism is to empower parents to raise their children and to provide for their children and to maintain the parents' responsibility. It is not the government's responsibility to take care of children. Yes, more services need to be provided to the underprivileged, but that is not the responsible of the government. Just as McCain called for during his acceptance speech, it is the responsibility of the American people through private organizations just as the church used to do.

The question is where the responsibility lies. It is not the responsibility of the government. It is the responsibility of each and every American citizen. It is the fault of the American people for these problems. By accusing government of not providing these services, we are collectively denying our each, God-given responsibility.

Government CANNOT make your life better

Obama, fresh out of his interview with Bill O'Reilly, came out and said that he and Biden will talk about how the Obama administration will make Americans' lives better!

Government CANNOT make anyone's life better. There are only two things that government can do: make you dependent on government services (by taking all of you money) or by allowing you to make choices for yourself and keep your own money, therefore empowering your own version of the American dream (the pursuit of happiness).

Do not believe is populism (progressive income tax) and socialism (social security, universal/nationalized healthcare). Yes, I know those can be "big" words. The Democratic Party is about class warfare and government control!

Less government, the better!!!!!!

Obama's New Democratic Party

I remember when Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992. That summer I traveled across the south from Georgia to Texas with my grandfather, talking politics all along the way at the age of 11. I wrote President Clinton shortly after his inauguration, curious with one main question.

“What does it mean to be a New Democrat?”

I find myself asking the very same question again in 2008 as I have every four years for the past 16 years. (And oh, I received a response from the President but no answer to my question.) The fact is I now know the answer: the Democratic Party of McGovern and Carter is no different from that of Clinton, Gore, and Obama. The goals of the Democrats have not changed since of the hayday of Teddy Kennedy.

The “new” party is just the same package in different wrapping. The package has been a failure, but Democrats are convinced if it can be disguised in a new light it will be successful. The Democratic Party does not want to enable the American people to be self-sustaining and self-reliant. The Democratic Party does not want to empower each American to achieve the American dream. The Democratic Party wants to be the source, the supplier, the Ruler.

The Democratic Party is anti-individual freedom. The Democratic Party is against self-determination and the pursuit of happiness. The Democratic Party is anti-capitalism and free enterprise. Look at the policies of the Democratic Party. These policies seek to take decisions from the American citizen in order to make those decisions for the American citizen.
