Who is John Galt?

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

America was once a country full of people who knew how to make their own way and were repulsed by the idea of depending upon other people or the government to provide for them. Now, we are on the cusp of electing a man who is either a complete dolt or an evil, conspiring Marxist depending upon which way you look at it who thinks that the solution to economic stagnation is for the government to subsidize unemployment. I am so disappointed in half of my country. I am not a partisan; I am a red-blooded capital-A American who wants to preserve his liberty raise his family to depend upon (and be accountable to) God and themselves alone. I have a hard time believing that anyone who has more than a spoonful of brains could think that Barack Obama could possibly “save the economy”. In all honesty, he has no intention of saving the economy. In fact, he intends to penalize success by forcing those who make money to give it to those who do not. He wants to force you to tolerate ideas that are base and repulsive to those of us with a conscience.

“I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” -Patrick Henry, 1775

“That government is best which governs least.” -Henry David Thoreau, 1849

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times… and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.” -Barack Hussein Obama, 2008
