Welcome to Call to Decision

Obama Laments:
"Many Americans Have Lost Faith in their Government"
Can I get an AMEN?
We only want to keep the Lawful part of government Mr. Obama. That's the part we want to call our own. That's one reason We The People, wisely, left "HealthCare" out of Our Constitution.
The Pitchman-in-Chief, still stumping for National Socialist Fascist Communist Healthcare:

Many Americans have lost faith in their government, US President Barack Obama admitted Wednesday, tackling a pervasive sentiment hobbling his hopes for enacting sweeping reform.

American suspicion of government was deepening, he said in a speech from the heartland state of Missouri, where he pushed his endangered health reform drive that has been branded by Republicans as a government takeover.

"People have lost faith in government -- they had lost faith in government before I ran (for president), and it has been getting worse," Obama said at a rally in St. Louis.

He quoted his political hero, US Civil War-era president Abraham Lincoln, as saying that the role of government was to do what needed to be done but could not be done by citizens themselves without help.

"That pretty much sums up my attitude," Obama said. - Yahoo News

Actually, we started to suspect something in the years just before 1861, Mr. Obama.
Did we come to this continent is search of some Giant Super Nanny?
No! We came to this continent because "government" wouldn't permit us to practice our faith in God according to the dictates of our consciences - in Liberty.
We did not come here with our hands stuck in each other pockets.

Life, faculties, production--in other words, individuality, liberty, property -- this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. - Bastiat in The Law.

Obama likes to compare himself with Lincoln?

Lincoln is the worst possible role model - he made war on his own country and killed hundreds of thousands, destroying citizens in the North and South, of all ages, sexes and conditions. He trashed the Sovereignty of the States - and couldn't care less about real Liberty for anyone let alone Blacks. He was the definitive Tyrant - and a Vicious man!
I don't want Obama to be anything like Lincoln in his comings, his goings - or even in his hangings around. As bad as he is - he's no match for Lincoln. And I wouldn't wish that on him - even if he turns out to be our worst contemporary domestic enemy.
To classical libertarians, the high water mark of Liberty, was before, not after, the War to Prevent Southern Liberty. And that certainly holds for the many of the descendents of Black Confederates [get used to anomalies if you are going to learn the truth about history].
If Liberty does not include the right to be left alone - or to leave at will - it is not definable as Liberty for the States - or for the People.
Let's talk about Minority Rights:

No majority, however great even all of the people but one Individual--may properly infringe, or possess the power to infringe, the rights of any minority, however small--even a minority of a lone Individual. - Hamilton Abert Long

Is Liberty something to be feared more than this lawless "government?"
What could it mean?

Being left alone to succeed or fail on our own - with the help of God and our own natural associations without coercion?
Not being groped at the airport?
Life, Liberty, Private Property?
Keeping what you have honestly earned?
Abundance?

One of Jefferson most famous quotes:

"It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights... Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power... Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." --Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798. ME 17:388

America is suffering under a "dangerous delusion" whenever she trusts government for anything outside of the scope of its lawful authority. The careful sort of jealousy that should watch over our Republic is an honorable trait. It is jealousy for the preservation of other people's private property, their liberty, their unalienable rights - something that comes from God and never from government.

Socialism is founded in jealousy with theft and covetousness. And this is no justification for avarice or monopolies either. But all of the great traditions teach that charity is not charity that is not 100% voluntary.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Teach him to enjoy stolen fish and he becomes your slave for life.
None of us is too big, or too small, to fail, not individually, not corporately, and not nationally. Obama can try. But the Tower is not going to reach Heaven. He plays upon the religious sympathies of the people. He just wants them to come under one big tent called Government. The hubris of empire and the rapaciousness of this criminal gang will never be a substitute for the Rule of Law. Our present "government" is too big Not to fail!

Another Lincoln?
I hope we already know all there is to know about this administration in terms of what will have to be left out of the Obama Archives - as the "remanufacturing" of the American Presidents continues.
May all of his unlawful Hopes for unlawful Change be Hobbled!
