“[W]ith respect to future debt; would it not be wise and just for that nation to declare in the constitution they are forming that neither the legislature, nor the nation itself can validly contract more debt, than they may pay within their own age…” – Thomas Jefferson

There has been much talk over the past several years of outlawing home schooling and forcing parents to subject their children to government controlled education.  You see, the powerful, who do not wish to give up power or who wish to control the destiny of a nation, know that they must control the minds of the youth in order to control the nation tomorrow.  In such an environment there is nothing more dangerous to the powers that be than parents who teach their children at home where the indoctrination cannot take hold.

Leaders don’t fall from the sky without proof they ever made friends and dated girlfriends and earned grades and had businesses and wrote papers, folks.  Leaders have visible trails; they have made a record of their successes and proudly show them whenever asked.  Barack Obama resides in the White House without ever showing a shred of genuine evidence that he is the greatly-gifted man he and his media sycophants say he is.  And 52% of the American electorate has bought this faster than they would buy a used car from a slick-suited salesman on a shady lot.

But I am convinced there is a growing mindset in our culture that genuine suffering has no value. That it must be avoided, even at the cost of life itself.

Well, I think that’s selfish. So, memo to kids and family: I’m not checking out early just to avoid being a burden to you. And I sure don’t want you doing that for me.

It’s starting to seem (ok, maybe not starting) that President Obama is having a hard time keeping his stories straight.  One day he supports something, the next day he doesn’t.  One day he promises something, the next day he breaks the promise.  He’s like a teeter-totter.
