"Confirm Thy Soul in Self Control"

The idea that government can improve America by attempting to control everything from the weather to the health choices of citizens is hardly rational.
It's like, let's concern ourselves with controlling the above, but hands off culprits who go door-to-door impregnating teenagers who then require government assistance to raise their children.
How ridiculous is that?
How about less failed government control and more citizens practicing self control.

"God Mend Thine Every Flaw"

God's help would come in handy mending the flaws our country faces now.
I know, I know. Some citizens don't believe in God, and that's their right.
Still, most of us believe.
I believe God will help when we study and attend to His priorities, when we give Him credit for knowing what to do and how to do it, and when we align our behavior with His timeless principles.

Who Made This Mess?

Sometimes, I discover a mess in the house and ask myself, "Who left this mess?" Then, I am reminded  that I live alone. I review my responsibility and clean it up.
Granted, President Obama is not wholly responsible for the mess in our economy. That said, his decisions have made the mess bigger. There is no evidence that he will take responsibility or clean up the aftermath of his failed economic policies.
Instead, the country is being ask to move forward toward vistas of unbridled messes ahead.
Mitt Romney is more invested in cleaning up the mess than in assessing blame to everyone else who helped make it.

"Sweet Freedom's Song"

I stumbled across the phrase "sweet freedom's song" while singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" today. Has it always been there?
I wonder. Which makes the most difference in the world, the official documents of freedom like The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution or little catch phrases like sweet freedom's song, that etch themselves deep into our hearts--phrases like "I have a dream," "In God we trust," "This land was made for you and me," "with liberty and justice for all," and ". . . of the people, by the people, and for the people?"
I know what my answer would be.

Just Say No

Just because a direction is deemed constitutional doesn't mean it's the right direction for the country.
Constitutional is not the same as "Americans want ObamaCare." Not by a long shot.


Mitt Romney's guiding statement(s) about this;


"As you might imagine, I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision and I agree with the dissent. What the court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected president of the United States. And that is I will act to repeal ObamaCare."

Act to Repeal ObamaCare

Today, the Supreme Court announced its decision that the ObamaCare "tax" is constitutional.
Today, Mitt Romney announced he will "act to repeal ObamaCare"on his first day in office.
Today, it is more crucial than ever to elect Mitt Romney as president in November.

It's Not About the Constitution

The question is not whether ObamaCare passes constitutional muster.
The question is whether U.S. citizens want government to snatch even more control over their lives and their wallets.
