Welcome to Free American Now! I am excited to have you join hands with me as we take our country back to when we were FREE! Free to do choose, free to live our lives as WE see fit.
First I want to introduce myself, second I want to lay ground rules, and third I want you to know what I think is outrageous, and see if you agree with me.
Introduction - My name is Bryan and my credentials are simple: I LOVE FREEDOM!! I do not think freedom comes free, we must fight for it and once we have it... the fight MUST continue.
Let me clarify my views: I am a conservative, not a republican and I believe in less government and more free enterprise. I grew up in southern California in a quiet and relatively conservative community. My family is conservative and religious, so my up bringing leans towards the founders beliefs in divine intervention and small government. I think that I should be able fail or succeed on my own, and I believe that not only should everyone work for their own success, but by doing so they will be stronger and closer to God. By being closer to God, poverty and and injustice will disappear the way the Lord intended it too... by the charity of others, and NOT by the the government snatching your money to wastefully and wrongly spend it in useless power grabbing and inefficient programs. I do NOT pretend to know all everything about politics in fact I am rookie, but my love for freedom is very INTENSE. What I am is a deeply concerned citizen, who is concerned about mine and my children's future; these are my motivations for this blog and NOTHING else.
Rules:
- Keep it clean and pure - The design of this blog is wake up Freedom loving Americans to what is going on not have politics as usual, and certainly not fight with one another. While I expect that only like-minded Americans will participate on this blog, I am sure someone will find this blog and try to undermine my efforts. If you disagree with me that is fine, but please disagree in a Christ-like manner, no foul language or harsh words. Just state your disagreement and why.
- This is an opinion/wake up blog - If you want facts feel free to get them from credible sources and please bring them into our conversations, but keep in mind the purpose of this blog is to get like minded conservatives to do what is necessary to get the government out of our lives; nothing else. This means your going to hear what is happening in your neighborhoods, not what is going on between pathetic politicians.
- Keep things focused on getting voters outraged enough to get out to the polls - This is pretty clear... I want to make you aware of what is going on so you'll go preserve your freedom by voting for small government principles.
Post 1:
Concern with American complacency.
Last time I checked... having your freedom taken away was a bad thing.
Last time I checked... communism was evil.
Last time I checked... having wealth WASN'T evil.
Last time I checked... having choices made for you IS evil.
Last time I checked... it was "We the People" NOT "We the government".
Last time I checked... America was the good guy.
Last time I checked... the world looked up to us (even envious).
Last time I checked... America was the leader of the free world.
Last time I checked... what America does helps the world not hurts it.
Last time I checked... American's trouble was a priority over the rest of the world's.
Last time I checked... the success small business was the way to a healthy economy not bailouts of failing corporations.
Last time I checked... spending was not the way out of debt.
Last time I checked... "Taxation without REPRESENTATION" was a bad thing.
Last time I checked... doing something the majority doesn't want should be called out punished.
Last time I checked... black was black and white was white, good was good and evil was evil.
Last time I checked... Americans were charitable by nature and don't need to forced to be.
Last time I checked... the federal government was designed to unify the free republic not squash it like a bug.
Last time I checked... a politician wasn't a rock star, but a PUBLIC SERVANT.
Did you know that... our first lady wants to make it ILLEGAL to put a TOY in a kids meal?
Did you know that... a man in Georgia got in trouble for GIVING AWAY garden grown veggies?
Did you know that... child got detention for eating 1 jolly rancher?
Did you know that... our president is allowing voter intimidation?
If all of this doesn't get your boiling then don't complain when someone comes into your house and tells you that you can't have that bowl of Fruity Pebbles and that you'll have to have the Wheaties instead (because Fruity Pebbles is unhealthy). Sound far fetched? Does this sound like something that Americans will NEVER have to face? If you think so... you have your head buried in the sand!! Get involved in your community stop these injustices before they happen to YOU.
What I have to suggest will cause difficulties for me and many Americans, but I believe it is worth it to suffer now for a better tomorrow. I think what we need to do is put pressure on our politicians TO DO WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO, NOT WHAT THEY WANT. We need to get politicians both local and federal that listen to the people, and if they don't listen then VOTE THEM OUT!!
Here is my short list of things that need to start happening to get our Freedom back:
- Cut every government program (state and federal) back by 80% or more, and in many cases cut them totally out. This list includes, but is not limited to: Dept.of Education, FDA, Fannie and Freddie, Welfare, Obama care, free and reduced lunch, Social Security (find some way to fix this program), government bailouts etc... Keep in mind all of these are gradual not immediate.
- Deport all illegal aliens and secure our boarders - we need to make sure that only legal citizens are in the country, and just for the record this isn't racism it is justice. Illegal aliens are thieves, but not in the way you may think. They come here illegally so they don't pay taxes, but in spite of that they take from the tax payers (welfare, free lunch, free education, free health care, etc). They make a broken economy even worse. Just for the record I think we should make it easier to come here and work legally and to become a citizen. If both of those were much easier we'd have a LOT more legal immigration. Cut the red tape, make it tough, but doable to become a citizen. Also we should enforce the LAW that if any government official or employer wants proof of your citizenship they should HAVE to show it, cut the politically correct bull crap. I have NO problem proving I am a citizen and only illegals are the ones with the problem with it.
- Stop lending money we DON'T have - America needs to pull every cent of foreign aid... this is plain and simple. Not only should we pull out our help we should collect on every loan we have outstanding to other countries. We don't have money to lend so why are we doing it? I am sorry rest of the world, but the gravy train is out of gas, go find someone else to borrow from... we're broke. I'd hate to sound cruel, but we have to fix OUR problems first. I still firmly believe two things about this, first by our problems being fixed it will help the rest of the world, and second Americans are generous in fact so generous that even when we are struggling we'll still DONATE our money to people and countries who need it. Bottom line our government should NOT unilaterally lend OUR money.
- Every troop come home - I was a kid when during the first Gulf War, and to this day I get emotional every time I see our troops. I love our troops and support them with ALL of my heart. I have ALWAYS seen us as the world's referees and that we SHOULD BE just that. My opinion hasn't really changed a whole lot, but I can say that tough times calls for tough measures. America is bleeding and we need to STOP the bleeding, then go back out and help others to do likewise. Having our troops home will have two major consequences: First a LOT less money will be spent keeping them out there (400 billion+ PER YEAR). Second it will make the world a lot more uneasy, which will change the world's view, instead of being viewed as the world's bully we'll be seen as we ARE the world's Saviour (remember we are the GOOD guys).
- Create a MUCH reduced FLAT TAX - Economics 101: Put the money BACK in American's hands! An EQUAL percentage is the ONLY FAIR way to do it. For example if I make $50,000/year I pay 3% tax which is $1500 and someone who makes $5,000,000 also pays 3% and that is $150,000 FAIR and EQUAL!! I don't know if 3% is right, but I do know that it doesn't have to be a lot if you cut government programs back, whether you make $10,000 or $1,000,000,000 everyone pays! You'd have a flat federal and a flat state and that is IT!! No sales tax, no property tax, no DEATH tax, no capital gains tax, etc. If you don't like the thought of no social programs then move to a state that has them, and if you love the idea of no social programs (and want to give your money to an inefficient system) then also likewise to that corresponding state. Let money be put back into Americans hand and WATCH US!! Watch us become wealthy again, and poor, will be poor NO MORE!! (Just for the record churches and charities is where your welfare dollars should go, NOT Washington, your state capital or any governing body.)
- Deregulate and let us be free - Get the feds out of your local schools, get them out of backyard, get them out of EVERY decision YOU should make. Let free enterprise make all the necessary changes and watch just how much we DON'T need Uncle Sam telling us what to do, think, and say! If you the consumer doesn't like a particular insurance carrier's underhanded practices then don't place your business with them, and tell your friends to do the same. This will make it so insurance will have to do what YOU the consumer wants instead of what the special interests in Washington want.
- Let God back in our lives - put God back in the schools, put God back in the constitution, put God back where He belongs... in EVERY ASPECT HUMAN LIFE!
I know this was long winded, but I had to get all of my goals out in the open. I plan to make every post short and sweet from here on out, when YOU or I see a freedom being taken away, or something that is unconstitutional I want it posted so WE can know and take action to correct it. Lets fight for the FREEDOM that we used to have, so our kids can enjoy a free God fearing nation.
