Restoring America

Things You Should Know, 1/16/17, from Andy Stevens, Anacordes WA Tea Party

"The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living." "There was a time when common sense and common decency counted for something. Educators felt a responsibility to equip students with solid skills that could take them anywhere they wanted to go in later life -- enable them to  become doctors, engineers or whatever they wanted to be.. Too many of today's EDUCATORS see students as a captive audience for them to  manipulate and propagandize.".......THOMAS SOWELL

"During this election year, we are destined to hear many words that are toxic in the way they misrepresent reality and substitute fantasies that can win votes. One of these words is entitlement....Particular  individuals or groups can be given many things, to which politicians say they are ENTITLED, only if other people are forced by the government to  provide those things to people who don't need to lift a finger to earn  them. All the fancy talk about ENTITLEMENT means simply forcing some people to work to produce things for other people, who have no obligation to work". THOMAS SOWELL

"Some  people are surprised at how many young people look favorably on  socialism. But socialism is a wonderful sounding idea. Those who have lived through the era of its disasters in the 20th century, or learned about them from history, are likely to see through the appearances to the reality. A young age prevents the former and our dumbed-down education prevents the latter."...THOMAS SOWELL

Ronald Reagan "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959 "We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."

John Stuart Mill: May 20, 1806 - May 8, 1873 War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Ayn Rand: Atlas Shrugged -"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you..... You know that your society is doomed"..... AYN RAND

Cicero, 55 BC -- We as a nation would do well to heed this sage advice provided some 2060 plus years ago... The budget should be balanced. The Treasury should be refilled. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled. The assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome fall. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

PASS THIS ON!

Kudos to the Governors stand with and support the sovereignty of their state and the United States of America!
