It is my belief that as human individuals, we are born into this world with natural rights that are inviolate; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property or Happiness which has been expressed eloquently by Thomas Jefferson. Anything less puts us in the status of slaves, indentured servants and farm animals. My impetus for this blog is to serve as the clarion call to others, like minded or not, that our freedom is at stake in a world of increasing collectivism.
I really liked what President Obama said in this video. Americans are often too arrogant, and Europeans are often too anti-American. Neither Europe or the USA can face the challenges of this century alone. No one can.
I don't like what he said from the standpoint that he'd rather take us down a few pegs. He doesn't even see us as s first among equals. He wants us to be a part of a "world order". I am not so happy to give my sovereignty in that context as the people that promulgate that have different ideas about what freedom is than I do. In some cases our arrogance is justified. Not so much Europe's anti-americanism. How many times have we bailed them out? I think we need to let them sit in their own shit. There times I think we should withdraw our support in all foreign countries to remind them of how much we do, which is more than anyone else.
Right now the challenges that face Europe, besides the fiscal stuff, is basically an islamic invasion, for which most of them are capitulating and the relationship is like a tail wagging the dog, IE, Sharia law in England. For us, the challenge will be to avoid socialism. It's not working so well in Europe and it's going to get worse for them.
