A Test!

Here’s a test.

What should the state’s response be to the situation mentioned above?
A)Provide mirrors for the driver to see what is happening on the side of his vehicle.
B)Require bulletproof glass to be placed in every window of a car.
C)A and B.
D)Neither A and B – let me carry my own firearm so a punk will not be willing to ‘take a chance’ that I will shoot back.

Let me break this down for you. If you choose anything other than D – you want a Nanny state. If you choose D – you are still cut from the cloth of the Americans who founded this nation and have what it took our forefathers to make this country great – it’s called self-reliance.

Self Reliance vs. Nanny State

When a tree falls on your house – do you call the local authorities to get it removed? No, you call a tree service or you get out your chainsaw and you start going to town on the tree. It’s your home, it’s your mess – you clean it up. You remain a statistic – As reported on the evening news only three trees fell in last night’s storm. –

At what point do you come in contact with the government (any government, state, federal, local)? Here’s an example: If I pick up a pizza pie for my kids down at A&G.

When you get in your car:
You’ve had to get this vehicle inspected.
You’ve had to pay for its registration.
You’ve had to qualify for a driver’s license (which many people shouldn’t be allowed to have because the test is way too easy.)You’ve had to pay a tax to purchase this vehicle.

When you get on the road to get your dinner:
The road you travel on is either a state road, county road, federal road or a local road and either government works to up keep these roads using our tax dollars.

When you buy gas so that your vehicle there is a gas tax – goes to the state and federal government.

Finally you reach A&G – and fortunately for us there is no meters (as there are in Newton) otherwise we’d have to pay for the privilege to park.

I pay for my pizza – which includes a tax because the food is prepared – and that money goes to the state government – 7%.

I’m not done yet.

Additionally, the owner of that property has to have a business license, the building and food needs to be checked – so the health department is also connected to the running of the building (which includes a host of codes and assurances just for A&G to open it’s doors – it needs to meet all of these requirements)

The local town also has their claws into the business because the owner of the property has to meet certain safety codes in order to be open (the flashing around the ovens, the number and height of the plugs, the GFI circuit on the receptacles – to name a few.)

I’m not done yet.

Now just to make that pizza – the suppliers have had to pay for all kinds of additional issues – the truckers bring the materials into the area for the owners of A&G to purchase.
Then there are the employees. The owners of A&G need to have all kinds of trainings so that they are OSHA qualified – and that their employees are looked after.
Chemicals need to be marked and labeled
All kinds phone numbers need to be attached to the paperwork describing the chemical.
Employees need benefits
And under the current legislature we now have the ability of these employees to take as much time off as needed for family issues – while they are still paid and forcing the employee to pay twice the amount of wages – which boosts the cost of my pizza pie – thank you NJ Legislature.


All of this just to make me safer. I feel so special.

I feel so special –

As I drive home, I stop at a light. Another car pulls up next to me – ‘pimped’ out to the nine’s with florescent lights and chrome everywhere. I look over as the loud music from the car penetrates my SUV. As I look over the driver gets offended because he thought I was ‘eyeballing’ him. He starts cursing at me. I try to ignore him and look forward as his Spanish verbal attacks continue. What I don’t see is the illegal hand gun he pulls out and aims at shoots at me with.

The Fix

Of course the answer sits in the idea that we are individuals and we need to do more ourselves. We depend on ourselves and our own support group. In many ways we may believe that we do this now – but in essence for the really important things we do not. The REALLY important things include – security. We depend on a police force to protect us, and in many cases even the quickest acting force is going into a situation to clean up a mess left by a criminal. Because of this we find ourselves depending on someone else to come and ‘save the day’. As much as I like Superman, there is not a Superman to come and rescue us in our times of needs. At the end of the day – when the wolf (or should I say bear) comes knocking at my door- it’s me who has to fend him off.

To re-establish this individualistic spirit we need to tap into the thought of freedom, explain to our neighbors that government needs us to survive – we do NOT need government to survive. The theory here is simple, without us the government doesn’t exist. The issue then comes getting the message out. The majority of our county carries that idea of individualism and self reliance – but the majority of the rest of the state is a nanny state. I know this is material that you already know – but honestly the answer is more then sending these other areas a message.

We need someone who is running for a statewide office who is NOT afraid to go into the urban areas and proclaim a conservative message. A message that will ring in the ears, hearts and minds of those who hear the true conservative message – the message that says – we each individually have the divine right of KINGS! That each of us is a king of our own castle and can and should make our own determinations on the future. That we cannot be forced to kneel before someone else – FREE MEN and WOMEN NEVER KNEEL!

But kneeling is just what those in the urban areas are doing. They are giving their souls and their freedoms to the ‘man’. They have given up making their own decisions because they allow a government that dictates to them – set’s laws and rules that are meant to ‘make their lives safer’ while stealing their liberty.

Cigarettes are bad for you. Make no doubt that they are something that can kill you. But when did it become the power of the government to socially engineer you as a citizen and tax you to the point where you are unable to afford to by these cigarettes and are now forced to quit.

Since when did the government have the power to dictate where your child goes to school and how they are educated – it’s happening right now. The government has the choice of your schools – not you. Any choice you make comes with a bank roll to back it up – cause private school is not cheap.

The list goes on. But I think you get the picture.

Class dismissed.
