Why and Where Morality? Governments True Role!

           Why is it that no one can take responsibility for their actions anymore?? I found this great quote that states, “George Washington is the only president who didn't blame the previous administration for his troubles.” While this is comical, it is also very sad. Every President loves to accept praise for the good things his administration has been able to accomplish yet when something goes wrong it is the fault of the previous administration. If the economy is going strong it’s because of the current administration. If the economy is faltering it’s because of the previous administration.  It drives me nuts.

 

            If I’m working a sales job and I’m not getting any customers, can I blame it on the previous salesman or the management? No, it’s all on me. I now that these leaders often step into the presidency after a previous administration has enacted many new laws but guess what?? We elected you to be a leader. Step up to the plate and take a swing at it. Don’t blame your strikes on the bat.

 

            America doesn’t often like an independent President. We want someone who is not afraid to take advice. At the same time we want this person to make a decision and stick with it. If you give the go ahead on something you better stand by it. No excuses. Final.

Capitalism can't break. Capitalism is the quest for profits. Profits that are needed in order to drive and sustain a system. Without them there is no reason to push on. Those profits are the livelihood of everyone which is part of that system. What is broken is our government who has gotten themselves in the business of trying to control free ... See Moremarket enterprise. The free market is an ever swinging pendulum on a giant scale that is the balance of supply and demand, risk and reward, needs and fulfillment of needs, a consumer and a supplier. This pendulum must and will always swing back and forth as supply and demand push and pull as the marketplace dictates. However this natural movement is symbiotic and creates new opportunities for expansion with every swing. When we experience such extremes as we are now it is because a new variable has been introduced into the equation and now the pendulum must find a new center. The transistion of our world to a global marketplace most certainly is impacting this equation with supply and demand from markets overseas now able to affect our national marketplace. The market must find a new equilibrium. The only thing that is broken is the notion that we can control this market artificially through legislation. The private market must sort itself out and when you try to push that pendulum to one side through legislation rather than through demand it just comes swinging back at you with nothing to stop it. Legislating business, incentives and mortgages to attempt to force a more prosperous market is like building your house on the sand, there is no foundation to support it long term and as soon as the tide comes in your house will be washed away. If this market is to settle into it's new global equilibrium, if we are to return to a natural and normal cycle of up and down our government needs to get the hell out of the way. We need fair and balanced global trade policies with a tariff structure that reflects the tariffs placed on American goods in the respective country. We need to stop trying to police the world and we need to worry more about Americans who are losing their homes than people who have never and will never contribute to the system which is supposed to save them. We need intelligent, logical leadership and we need government to stop confusing themselves with God.

It is shocking to me that on both sides of the political scene you have people state that you cannot trust politicians.  So, my question is to the folks that support big government, if you feel that way why would you ask a government to take over car companies, healthcare and banking if they cannot be trusted?  My suggestion is that we quit talking just to be heard and slow down and think of the ramifications that big government has on all of us as the people of the United States of America.   If that statement is true, then would it not make sense to have a limited government?  A government that should be responsible to provide a free market, and a governement that should focus on national security instead of trying to trample the private sector.  What are your thoughts?

It's Capitalism that brought us down this path to are own ends. Al Qaeda would not dare to attack us because we were a nation of God. Other things also got us where we are today, Roe v Wade, homosexual marriage etc…. You get the point. There was a time when I was proud of my nation that was replaced by the all mighty dollar. Well it’s high time we bring God back into our nation. In school we were allowed prayer that was just replaced by other restrictions. Our children are put under so much pressure it’s no wonder that there resulting in anger problems. It all boils down to two things, do the right thing and put God back into are lives or keep going the way we are. As for me I choose god

      Sometimes I find it so amazing how much people know about something that should hold little value at all. Likewise, they know very little about something that should be of great importance to them. One of these “important things” that I am referring to is our own government. I can’t tell you how many times I have spoken with someone and discovered that they can recite any line from any episode of “The Office” but when the conversation turns political they drop out faster than cell phone service in the mountains. I understand that entertainment has its place in our society and we need it to enjoy ourselves but when it takes precedence day in and day out over intellectually strengthening our minds we have a problem.

     One of the best things about living in a Democratic country is that we as individuals have the ability to change our country. If we don’t understand how this government runs, however, we won’t be able to make a difference. Many people have told me that voting is worthless because as an individual they don’t contribute anything. While you may feel small and insignificant, don’t rule yourself out. There are others who feel the same way you do. The truth is that as an individual, uniting with others who share your beliefs, you can change almost anything. The more we educate ourselves on the workings of our government and the direction they are heading, the more we can prepare ourselves and attempt to create change.

     The R Project understands the importance of unification but we also want to stress the importance of staying educated. We encourage you to skip a re-run of your favorite show that we know you have seen five times over and check out what is going on in D.C. You may be surprised what you find yourself getting excited or fired-up about.

The government takes your money and uses it to support programs that have been of little to know help and in most cases enslaves people.

At what point do we draw the line and say the Government is infringing on our personal responsibilities? Health care plans vary greatly and it has always been up to individuals to choose what works best for themselves and their loved ones.  At what point did this become the government's responsibility and should it ever be? The R Project feels that we as free Americans should not be subject to Government regulations on Health Care plans that blatantly violate our free will.

The R Project would like to know your thoughts on Obama's proposed health care.

Do you feel the Obama administrations Health Care Plan will bring freedom to people or enslave them?

Is this Health Care Healthy?

Please take a look at the Health Care Bill at http://rprojectsite.com/r-project-docs.html
