All of those programs are a form of wealth redistribution. The only lawful and Constitutional safety nets are private Charities. They cannot be done right by the government as the principle behind it is corrupt. Government does not create wealth, it can only take it. It is either ok to take resources from some to give to others or it is not. If we concede this principle axiom we have already lost the battle. This is how the corrupt can use our better nature and benevolence to gain power. I think it is important to reject it from the government and much better and affective to handle it ourselves. We are a good people, with compassion, and goodwill I trust us to do the right thing before any government.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Patients my friends
I am not a religious man, I grew up atheist all my life, but I have never prayed so much in my life for those fighting this corruption and evil. Pray for a peaceful end to this, pray for justice, pray for the truth, and pray for the protection of those in the line of fire right now.
This guy has been at the forefront of shutting down and exposing gun control attempts coming out of Cheyenne. I think he will be very solid.
