My political philosophy is grounded on the original intent of the framers of the Declaration of Independance and the United States Constitution. Those documents have guaranteed and protected the freedoms of our citizens for nearly 250 years by setting up a government and legal system that is not easily toppled by the blowing winds of persuasive politicians that would tyrannize our citizens.
Our nation was meant to enable citizens to pursue their dreams, whether it was through education or entrepreneurship. In order to be effective, individuals should be hindered as little as possible through taxation and regulation, freeing them to employ and expand, bringing greater wealth and growing the middle class. Without a thrving middle class, more people fall into poverty and become slaves to a state run bureacracy.
The people of our state and country should be allowed their liberty so long as it does not infring upon the rights of others. Currently, our rights as citizens are under attack from a liberal and misguided legislature that is taking a larger and larger portion of the income of its citizens to give to those who are not citizens and who are an economic liability.
First and foremost, our nation was created to protect its citizens' rights which includes the right to bear arms, the right of the exercise of their religion and the exercise of free speech. In an atmosphere of political correctiness, the mouths of those who can speak plainly about protecting the morality of our youth is in jeopardy. Our historical monuments are being torn down in an atmosphere of intolerance towards the original spiritual foundations that allowed our nation to be birthed. The deconstruction of our civil and spiritual foundations must be protected from those who seek by onerous regulation and tyrannical laws to supplant a history and culture of people that came together because of the principles that it represents. Americans come from many different ethnicities and the only thing that truly binds us together is the respect for our founding documents. We are at a crucial time in our history, more so than at any other time and it is imperative, that if our nation's citizens wish to remain free, that we protect the freedoms and rights from assault.
