A Few More ...founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

[cosninocanines]

If your government believes the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more ,,, you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is "cute" but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ,,, you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested "homes"...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, subsidized housing and free cell phones...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor buys iPhones, TV's and new cars and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

Quote from church today Howard W. Hunter at a BYU devotional in 1965:

 

^{The government will take from the “haves” and give to the “have nots.” Both have last their freedom. Those who “have,” lost their freedom to give voluntarily of their own free will and in the way they desire. Those who “have not,” lost their freedom because they did not earn what they received. They got “something for nothing,” and they will neither appreciate the gift nor the giver of the gift.}

^{Under this climate, people gradually become blind to what has happened and to the vital freedoms which they have lost.}

If you are just sitting around with nothing better to do here is a link to that full talk given by Hunter in 1966. There is alot of reference in the talk to being responsible for ourselves and the freedom it allows us........
