I recently had a discussion with a true libertarian who truly believed in individual responsibility. I concur that individuals must truly be responsible for their behavior but there must be a floor, that we as society should fight to insure people can’t fall through. A floor that will enable those who are at the bottom the opportunity to pull themselves ahead. This floor would insure that a son wouldn’t have to worry that conditions at his father’s work place were so dangerous that there was a good chance he wouldn’t return. A floor which would insure that those who worked had enough food on the table and shelter so that if mom got sick and couldn’t work, they wouldn’t starve and live on the street. This floor would insure that those who are truly disabled (mentally ill, Cancer patients, etc) have a living standard that they can survive on and have the ability to make changes in their live.
The question is where does that floor end so that dependency doesn’t begin? If that floor is too comfortable with Fleece Blankets and Goose Filled pillows it might be hard to get up and make something more for your life. We need those in our communities to determine how strong they want their floors to be with some basic funding from the federal government to local charities that can efficiently disburse those funds to the most needy.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE ON THAT FLOOR? HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE WHO GETS THE FUNDS?

This article (below) is too bizarre to be true! Whether you’re on the right, left or middle there are certain guarantees (from our constitution) that we all must stand up and say enough is enough. One of these is to insure that the press is free to write “the truth” as they see it without the fear of intimidation from those in power. Freedoms shall not be decided by the government that we elect but are our G-D given rights. Basic freedoms must be protected for all our citizens!

I didn’t think I would have to add this article (below) to the list of government intrusions on constitutional rights but I’m sorry to say that I do. Freedom to practice your faith as you see fit should not be infringed by this or any other government. It’s not whether you agree or disagree with a stance it’s the right of a person to be able to practice their faith as they deem proper that must be protected.

#Ukraine, #Freedom, #Ronald Reagan, # Marco Rubio

There was a time when America held the torch for freedom around the world and it’s time a new set of leaders grab onto it again. While Freedom is being crushed from Syria, Iran and now the Ukraine our current President makes our nation look weak as it did in the days of Jimmy Carter. Freedom doesn’t necessarily require blood but the fear of our enemies that we will defend this goal. Ronald Reagan aptly applied this skill on the world stage. Ronald Reagan built our defenses and was willing to work behind the scenes to watch so that leaders like Lech Walesa had the ability to fight for freedom. We need this type of leadership from a new generation of leaders who can speak to the people in a clear and concise voice. A voice that shares their values and goals today I believe that voice is Marco Rubio.
