I am a minority

I am one of a small minority. I believe that the government does not own me, my labor, my compensation I receive for that labor, my child, my land, anything.
I own it. It is mine, it is my wifes, it is my sons. This includes what I think and what I believe, what books I want to read, what light bulbs I want, what I want to eat, what I want to listen to, where I want to travel, and etc. et. all..
I believe that I can best control my assets, that I can best provide for my family.
I own myself.
I believe that no one else has should have the right to my property. I believe that the role of government should be to protect our borders, and all the other specifically mentioned Constitutional duties, nothing else.
For the last 143 years the wonderful government that our founders framed has been destroyed. What was a voluntary union of states has morphed into an all powerful central government, and is on the way to even bigger international government. What was once the role and responsibility of the individual is now considered the role of government. Our government was formed to protect the rights of the individual, not to dictate the abolition of our God given natural rights. We were the ones that justified the government, we were not justified by the government.
"That to secure
these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers
from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "
I want to return to this principal found in our Declaration of Independence. Please read the Constitution of the United States, we are in no way governed by it any longer except when it fits the governments position. The guys that wrote this document used the combined histories of the world to form the greatest system of governance ever conceived. We the people have let the leaders we have elected totally contort and completely muck up our Country.
Do something for me, pick 10 federal laws or agencies at random, and see if you have a majority of them that are Constitutional. You already know the answer.
We currently have a man running for President, that will do his best to bring us back to what we should be. And he is called the nut. Because he can see that we as a country have fallen from greatness, and are turning ourselves into a 3rd world country. And yet the Republicans do their best to exclude and ignore him. You know why? Because the republican party on a national level is not a party of the "republic" they have become the democrats of the 1980's and the democrat's have become the socialist and communist of old Russia. We have a man who can not only help save the country, but also save the republican party. Yet they do nothing to promote him.
We have been brainwashed into believing that running government within it's limits is somehow nutty and just plain impossible in todays world. We have people that call them selves conservatives totally ignore conservatism.
How in the world is keeping our own house in order, and not trying to police the world not conservative?
We are not the world, we are the United States of America. It is not the governments role to rule our individual lives much less rule the lives of people in foreign countries.
VOTE Ron Paul!!!! Dag nab it.
Grow up America and take control of your own lives.
