-My brother asked if Russia is doing the right thing in the Ukraine? My answer, people get the government they deserve. For some, it is a communist government that they prefer. For others ,they prefer the democratic governments found in Europe. The truth , they are both victims of the economics. It is oil that controls region. 13 pipelines are the lifeblood in the economy for these people. Russia has no other economy to fall back on.
-
-. You always have two decisions to make. ‘What” to do and ‘how’ to do it. The ‘what’ can be good intentions, but, the “how” can have unintended consequences. Liberals get the what's right and the how’s wrong. Conservatives get the how’s right and the what's wrong.
-
-. Take Obamacare for example. Good intentions can easily sell the ideas, but, the how can be another costly, bureaucratic, top-down, regulatory scheme for politicians who can use the IRS tyranny to benefit their cause.
-
-. Using mandates instead of marketing. Using sticks instead of carrots. Using laws instead of education.
-
-. Conservatives believe in the right of revolution, therefore, no gun control. Liberals do not believe in anyone opposing the master plan. They do not support the Constitution because there is no turning back the clock to 1776. Liberalism stands for “progress“. They need a “living Constitution” to get progressive.
-
-. Exactly what do Conservatives mean by limited government. What gets limited? Republicans have not done a good job defining ,or, teaching it.
-
-. The Constitution provides limits through elections, through holding officeholders accountable, through the rule of law. Those alone should control and regulate a limited government.
-
-. Government does not have the prerogative to choose which laws get enforced ,or, interpret laws to affect different purposes than intended, like the current executive branch is fond of doing.
-
-. Obamacare will ruin healthcare, becoming the healthcare of a socialist state. Worse it undermines individual rights. On its grounds alone it is unconstitutional.
-
-. Liberty means we the people govern ourselves.. If they control your health they control you.
-
-. The other branch of government, Congress, needs to approve any regulations that cost over $100 million. Congress needs a budget for each appropriations bill. There are 13 of them. Strong debate should be used to control spending. Compromise between opposing parties. No more omnibus bills. You have to pass to learn what's in it.
-
-. We the people. We need to get control back to the “structure” of government. Three branches that have equal power. Two parties that are forced to compromise and work for their constituents not just a party ,or, their own political power ambitions.
-
-. Going back to the structure of our government the way it was intended is progress.
