I was at a restaurant today; a place where everyone knows your name or in the very least whether or not if you're a Christian. Very friendly people that enjoy sitting and talking with each other... most are of retirement age which makes me (age 40) the baby of the group. They had talked about when growing up in the 1950's who things at that time was more free. Kids could drive the tractor to school, carry the shot gun in the window to hunt afterwards, drive the feed truck (age 14) so that a stop could be made to pick up feed from the local elevator on the way home.

You could work overtime and not feel guilty, because you made a little extra money that week. Whatever you did no one was going to help; certainly the government wasn't going to; it wasn't their job! You worked hard for what you had and nobody could take it away, even the government.

All that was required was an honest days work for an honest days wages. Where has that mentality gone? Today we want the government to step in and make sure of equality between races, between sex's, between, rich and poor, between countries... what happened to letting someone that "made their OWN bed and lie in it"? "Someone has to be made responsible for this", or "The Devil made me do that, so it's not my fault."

There is no personal responsibility! Why?

The reason: We want to be taken care of by some body other than ourselves and in exchange we're handing away our freedoms. And President Barack Hussein Obama's blueish-purple lips smile as he willingly to take that freedom away for government control.
