Good nature is the very air of a good mind,
the sign of a large and generous soul, and
the peculiar soil in which virtue prospers.~ Godfrey Goodman, Anglican bishop (1582-1656)

As long as you think we have to police the world and run this welfare state, all we will argue about is who will get the loot.

Selling your liberty for a free phone and birth control
A friend now says that those who voted for President Obama are no longer welcome at their house. She doesn’t believe in supporting those who would sell their (and our) freedom for a free phone and free birth control. She doesn’t believe in supporting those that believe that their need gives them the right to force someone else to provide for them. She knows that if she takes money directly from someone’s pocket, it is theft, whereas if the President does it, it is supposed to be admirable, but is not. She knows it is not charity if it is someone else’s money. She knows that it is racist to vote for someone because of his skin color. She knows that nothing is free, not even health care – someone has to provide it. She knows that the quest for power in Washington knows no bounds.
As much as possible she intends to support those people and businesses that support liberty, and avoid those that do not. She intends to support employees who value their freedom and let those who do not go. She knows that freedom is the best path to prosperity and the only moral path.
In short, she believes in freedom and equality for everyone and is taking steps in her life to attest to that. Her advice for the Republican Party is to adopt the slogan “We’ll stay out of your pocketbooks, and out of your bedroom.” She’ll support the Constitution, and the Founder’s view of freedom in the hope of protecting liberty in the United States.

There is all the difference in the world … between two kinds of assistance through government that seem superficially similar
“There is all the difference in the world … between two kinds of assistance through government that seem superficially similar: First, 90 percent of us agreeing to impose taxes on ourselves in order to help the bottom 10 percent, and second, 80 percent voting to impose taxes on the top 10 percent to help the bottom 10 percent.
The first may be wise or unwise, and effective or ineffective way to help the disadvantaged – but it is consistent with the belief in both equality of opportunity and liberty. The second seeks equality of outcome and is ENTIRELY ANTITHETICAL TO LIBERTY.” ~ Milton Friedman
The President’s Dictionary problem
“There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back,”- President Obama, August 2012
The President has a clear misunderstanding of the meaning of “give”. Give means voluntary. No one is stopping these “wealthy, successful Americans” from “giving something back.”
the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government
is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the
stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” ~ Ayn Rand
