ACTION

The Premise of the objections posted on 13 April, to a fiscally sound plan is that government has a place in providing HealthCare and/or College.  Before WWI it most certainly DID NOT!  And Unemployment benefits, as a whole, tend to make job creation harder.  True job security can only be obtained by production.  If an employee produces, the company will pay anything to keep him.  That is reality!
 
   The hypothetical government program needs means testing to verify its targeted purpose.  Those that have received these benefits for generations (and there are many, nationwide, including in your town), have learned how to get around those limits.  This result of human nature robs those "poor" of their potential, traps them in a low quality world, impedes the economic growth in those areas that are means tested for the rest of us, and teaches the progeny of the dole supported a twisted path to "success".  Such is the nature of the destructive power of government "cheese".
 
   Governments in general are force.  The sole motivator of government is law, which is made true by the treat of jail.  Thus, as a free people, we must never forget that everything that government does happens at the point of a gun.  If you buck the government long enough, it will kill you.  James Madison said "The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse."
 
   It is thus incredulous that "educated" people look to government for tasks that require charity.  Taking charity at the point of a gun robs the givers of the benefits of the process of identifying needs, a job they would do much better than the government.  Depending on private folks to identify those needs would also bring the community closer together.  We see above how it robs charity's beneficiaries.  Private charity provides better benefits, tailored to the specific need, and is much easier to escape.
 
   The Ryan budget moves our nation toward a truly beneficial society by reducing the destructive force of government cheese.  It is amazing that one who calls herself "Attorney" cannot see that.  Thomas Jefferson told us: "To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."  It should be our goal to return to that state!

Glenn Beck - Make the Pledge - 40 Days and 40 Nights:

July 19, 2010 - 14:59 ET

For the next 40 days and 40 nights, I pledge...I COVENANT to practice faith, hope and charity by doing these things.

First...faith. I will pray on my knees every night for the next 40 nights...starting TONIGHT. Pray for guidance, inspiration, peace...pray for the leaders of our country. Pray for their safety, and that they will receive wisdom. I will re-establish my relationship with God.

Hope...hope comes from truth. You can't have hope based on lies. If you go to the doctor and you're in the early stages of cancer, but the doctor tells you that you just have the sniffles...that's false hope, and it won't help you, in fact, it would kill you. So, we have to have honesty, to have real hope. So, I will stop all lies for the next 40 days. That includes lying to myself. I will establish a pattern of honesty and make it become habitual. I will question with boldness...everything...even the things Glenn Beck tells you every night...I will do my own research...and then pray for my own confirmation on the things I have learned. I will find out what is true in my life.

And third...I will have charity. Charity begins at home. I will do something kind for every member of your family at least once a week. I will write it down, and then do it. Also, I pledge to take notice of how blessed I really am. I live in the greatest country the world has ever known...and even the least prosperous among us, are among the wealthiest people in the world...I will be grateful.


Pledge of Nonviolence

Below is the Pledge of Nonviolence that Martin Luther King, Jr. asked those who believed in his message to abide by as well as his core principles of nonviolence.

I am going to ask you to make the same commitment to nonviolence and give you the opportunity to make that pledge public by having you ‘sign’ these documents below.

-glenn


1. As you prepare to march meditate on the life and teachings of Jesus

2. Remember the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation - not victory.

3. Walk and talk in the manner of love; for God is love.

4. Pray daily to be used by God that all men and women might be free.

5. Sacrifice personal wishes that all might be free.

6. Observe with friend and foes the ordinary rules of courtesy.

7. Perform regular service for others and the world.

8. Refrain from violence of fist, tongue and heart.

9. Strive to be in good spiritual and bodily health.

10. Follow the directions of the movement leaders and of the captains on demonstrations.

The Five Principles of Nonviolence

1. Non-violent resistance is not a method for cowards. It does resist. The nonviolent resister is just as strongly opposed to the evil against which he protests, as is the person who uses violence. His method is passive or nonaggressive in the sense that he is not physically aggressive toward his opponent, but his mind and emotions are always active, constantly seeking to persuade the opponent that he is mistaken. This method is passive physically but strongly active spiritually; it is nonaggressive physically but dynamically aggressive spiritually.

2. Nonviolent resistance does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent, but to win his friendship and understanding. The nonviolent resister must often express his protest through noncooperation but he realizes that noncooperation is not the ends itself; it is merely means to awaken a sense of moral shame in the opponent.

3. The attack is directed against forces of evil rather than against persons who are caught in those forces. It is a struggle between justice and injustice, between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.

4. Nonviolent resistance avoids not only external physical violence, but also internal violence of spirit. At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

5. Nonviolence is based on the conviction that the universe is on the side of justice. It is the deep faith in the future that allows a nonviolent resister to accept suffering without retaliation. The nonviolent resister knows that in his struggle for justice, he has a cosmic companionship.

“Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give the earth itself and all it contains rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you... From the practice of the purest virtue, you may be assured you will derive the most sublime comforts in every moment of life, and in the moment of death.”- Thomas Jefferson, 1785
