These are principles that I believe our country was founded on. They are principles of a Christian nation, though should be tenets of many faiths. If you agree with seven of them we have something in common that we can build upon.
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person that I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My Spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Growing Old
As each day passes we slowly grow old and our bodies are in decay most of our life. One day we go to play basketball and seemingly we have grown old overnight. We've realized we're not as young as we once were. This happening with our society and country.
I think it is amazing how normal all of these things of socialsim, corruption, waste, and loss of freedom or prosperity have become. It is more than just our oppressive big fat government. It is all aspects of society: the media, entertainment, business, consumerism, religion, communications in neighborhoods. Are we going to give in by quitting to do the things we used to do, accepting the way things have become, or are we going to eat better and exercise, and take back the life we had as individuals, families, communities, and a nation, and work to restore our freedoms? I am starting to restore things by not being censured with political correctness and educating myself and other open minded, honest, and freedom-loving people. I may ruffle a few feathers, but that is my cost for freedom, a small one compared to the fallen soldiers and founders of this great nation.
