There is so much doom and gloom on the news especially since it is an election year. We can't change what people are saying, but we can change what is going on around us.
We need to teach our children and grand children about our founding fathers and what they truly believed, not what the progressive movement believes. As a child I idolized our founding fathers as good God fearing men that wanted freedom, peace and happiness for all Americans and if possible the rest of the world. I was also taught they were inspired of God to create this wonderful land of Freedom and our constitution. Yet today our children are being taught one of two things:
1. That our founding fathers were crazy old men that didn't really know what they were doing
2. That they were socialists and that progressives like FDR and others are just now being able to bring in what they truly intended.
Both are so far from the truth that it is scary, we need teach our children who the founding fathers are, what they stood for, and that the constitution is an inspired document not an outdated piece of paper.
In an earlier post I stated that I am not a republican, I am going to clarify that for you all. I am indeed registered as a republican, but I do not always see eye to eye with what republicans do. I want to be clear that I strongly believe in small government (not just smaller than what the democrats want, but really, really small government), I believe as Ronald Reagan once said "the government can't fix the problem, it is the problem." I believe in free enterprise - let businesses fail, prosper, and grow on their own. I am opposed to situations like the government bailing out K-Mart for decades. I believe and in a low flat tax, we are way over taxed, and it because of all the socialist radicals wanting to "spread the wealth." I want to help the poor and I do it on a monthly basis, but what I don't like is the government telling me I HAVE to via taxes. When a Republican candidate follows these principles then I am in support of them, but if they are of the mind set of spend, spend, spend... that politician has lost me.
There is hope and that hope is YOU, you can teach your children and those around our about what our founding fathers intended which is limited small government, free enterprise and low taxes. There is one party that is basically in line with these ideals and it is a movement within folks from the right wing. They carry the republican flag because that is the party closest to their ideals; most of you have heard of them it is the "Tea Party," (as in the Boston Tea party going back to our founding fathers most basic principles). Like the republican party I am not in total agreement with everything they represent, but I like their core beliefs because I think they are closest to what our founding fathers intended.

Take part in the greatest movement in America since the revolution, teach correct principles and let Freedom ring!
