This is a very sad story about a bear.  Everybody should heed the warning to not feed wildlife because they become dependent and cannot forage for themselves anymore.   This is such a tragedy to see what they have done to our country’s wildlife!

The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect US wildlife.

Where's the Government?

Scott Brown’s astounding victory in Massachusetts last week was more than a shot across the bow; it torpedoed the notion that the healthcare “crisis” was at the top of everyone’s list of concerns since Obama took office.  In fact, most polls had the economy as Americans’ first concern, at 60%.  Healthcare?  5%.  That’s right.  5%.  Like cap and tax, Obama’s healthcare debacle is a failed power grab to wrest individual freedoms from each of us.  Many in the drive-by media have subjected us to the notion that if only we had universal healthcare, the seas would part, the sun would shine and our economy would rebound.

Scott Brown reminded those in Washington’s bubble, in no uncertain terms, what we in the Heartland have been saying all along:  Knock it off.

THANK YOU.  To all of the men and women who have proudly served our country, thank you.  Thank you for putting your life on the line in distant lands, away from your spouse, your children, your family and other loved ones.  Thank you for meeting unbelievable challenges and harrowing circumstances with courage, honor and duty.  Thank you for bearing the scars of war so that we are free to go about our lives in the greatest country God ever bestowed on man.

It is all too easy for the rest of us to get wrapped up in our daily struggles, some of which are more difficult than others, but none that approach what you have endured.  Indeed, we have the luxury of complaining, of speaking out loud about our doubts and fears and exercising our unalienable rights, because of you.

So on this Veterans Day, thank you for protecting and defending our freedom, and may God Bless You.

Just like you, we care about our homes and property, our children’s education, and most important, the performance and accountability of a limited government that answers to you, not the other way around.

Our Principles
Our Founding Fathers got it right when they risked everything for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Our rights come from God, not from the government
There is no right the government can give you that it hasn’t first taken away.

Personal and economic freedom
Each of us has the right to make our own choices, which includes what to do with our hard-earned money.  It is for us to decide how much we pay to the government.

Individual accountability and responsibility
Our God-given rights go hand-in-hand with responsibility.  Each of us is responsible for our own actions and our property.

Respect for and preservation of property rights
Private property rights are fundamental to our freedom.  We choose what we do with our property.

Private citizens, businesses and non-profits are better at solving problems than government
A limited government exists first and foremost to protect its citizens, so that we are free to foster an environment of free enterprise and common sense.  It is in this environment that each of us is at our best when tackling problems in our community.

One can always count on liberals to make the exception the rule.  In this case, they’re trying to destroy the greatest health care system in the world in order to wield more power - power that will take a generation to give back to individuals, where it belongs.  The story from Elizabeth MacDonald deftly destroys the most popular health care myths.

 Healthcare Myths

Give this some thought.  Liberals harp about sticking up for minorities.  But which group is more important than the next?  Perhaps it’s time they stick up for the smallest minority in the world: Read more »
