Let us look at other countries that went with Big Government. What is wrong in that country? To be straight with all of you. So far we are free. But how free are we because of Big Government? Where did the United States of America start being called North America when talking to other countries? Big Government doesn't want Americans to stand up to them. For the ones that do. Big Government wants to take away our rights to be free through the things we do everyday at home. Just like when we tell someone Merry Christmas out in public. I'm sorry. I never signed or voted on that. Did you? I never voted on songs of Lord Jesus Christ being taken out of schools. Did you? Look at everything Big Government has changed without the votes of the American people. I'm sorry to say. I will sing songs that have God in then. I will say God Bless when I sign my work. I will say God Bless when someone sneezes. I will keep on saying Merry Christmas and making my own Christmas Cards. The only reason why Big Government don't want Americans to sat these things is because we have different believes. What happened to the separation of state and church? We never had this problem until Big Government came into play.

Look back 20 years ago. Look how different things where in the United States of America. Now take that look now. How did Big Government get their hands on the American People? Closed doors and not telling the American People the answers to our questions. They only want the ones that think and act like them know about it. The Big Government thinks that the American People will be blind to what is going on. Yes, some are still blinded. But they are opening up their eyes to see the truth. Big Government wants to give people money. Americans that don't understand call it Obama Money. That is not the truth. Obama Money is Big Government paying the Americans to keep their mouth closed. To keep the We The People quiet. But Big Government is finding out that we are not being quiet. Big Government is trying to take over public schools and the way teachers are teaching the children.

Big Government has tried to take over the schools that my children go to. The school got a letter from me. Here people with other believes can worship the way they believe. But Christians can't. That is wrong. I told my children's school; if they even try to stop my child from praying, talking about God, or even send a flier home about any kind of different believes trying to get us to support that believe. I will take all my children out of school and you can tell Big Government why you and the school is NO Longer getting 35,000.00 per child that goes to your school. I will take my children out. Then Big Government can pay me 35,000.00 times five every year because you agree with Big Government.

How does Big Government come into your home and know about your home life? I'll tell you. Through the mind game done at schools across The United States of America. Big Government has the children believing and learning about other countries and a little bit or nothing at all about American History. Have the students go home and tell the parents that they are wrong on how The United States of America started. Have the students meet in small groups and have another student put them down because they do know the truth. This has already happened to my family. Yes, I was very upset and had my children taken out of small groups.

Have you had a chance to look at the toilet paper in a store? Have you noticed that all of them are know white. 15 years ago you could buy toilet paper in several different colors. Not No more. Know the Big Government knows what you wipe your butt with. I guess they thought we all want to wipe our butts with white toilet paper because we didn't know what kind to buy. Have you noticed that there are only a hand full of things made in the USA. 15 years ago; only 15% of things where from other countries. The rest was made here in the USA and sold by the USA. All you need to do is look around you. You can see how Big Government has already taken over our buying and selling. How they are already in your home through the things we buy and what we use. Big Government is now taking over phone lines, soon the computers, cars that have a tracking devise in it and can also cut your engine, and the list goes on. Do you know why? Because Big Government don't think that we know anything and Big Government wants control over all of us.

Big Government also has another name. Do you know what that name is? Big Business! Every-time Our Government states Big Government; Big Business comes to mind because they are both the same. We are the Only Country that is not ran by Big Government/ Big Business. The Countries that are ran by Big Government/Big Business are having more problems. The other Problems they are having. The people are not to think for themselves. They don't have the right to say how they feel. People that do are Killed. You just don't hear about it over the news anymore. Because Big Government/ Big Business don't want you to know. They are people running scared over Global Warming. Sorry to say; Global Warming has been happening way before the Dinosaur where here on Earth. Global Warming is another way to take the American's Eyes of what is going on. Obama will come up with more things or other businesses to talk about instead of talking about what he is trying to do. If you didn't know this; Obama is not against the North American Union. Do you remember Bush talking about it? Obama agreed with Bush. Obama signed the papers. So how do we ( Government ) get the American People to agree? Take All The Rights, Freedoms, and etc.... Away From Them. Let us do this SLOWLY, because they are Stupid, Tea Bagging Americans, Red Necks, and Gun Fighting People. Obama has already stated this over National TV.

I'll be up front. I don't care about colors or what race anyone comes from or back ground. I care about MY Nation. One Nation Under God. We the People didn't put up with this when other Presidents try-ed this. We had them impeached. Make makes this any different? What do We The People have to do this? Obama is braking the laws of this land with every bill he is trying to pass. The ones that stand up and say this is not right are being fired, passed aside, and how knows what he is going to do later. Obama wants Big Government/Big Business because it falls into his plans. He don't want Our Congress to read the bill before they vote on it. One reason why; Big Government/Big Business has done this in the past. Don't have it written out just talk about it. Or use words that No One understands. Then when it is voted on. We can get back to ranning A One World Nation with No One getting in the way.

You can delete this if you want. You can e mail me with how bad of a person I am. Because I don't agree. I don't agree with Big Government/Big Business. A lot of Americans never lived in another country ran by Big Government/Big Business. I have. It's not all fun and games. I have seen men, women, and babies killed that are still in the mother's arms before she was shot and killed. So other would not stand up to the Big Government/Big Business. Do you as a mother, dad, brother, sister, and other Americans to be treated like cattle? As a mother and as An American. I don't want my children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren and so to live in a Nation that just thinks about the power they have in office. As a mother I want my family to have everything that this Nation Under God stands for. It's time to stop the S.O.B. that is going on in Government. Because it is just not my future. It's also yours.

Government size is the hobgoblin of small minds. Humanity in general, given materials technology, tends to inflate their egos to enormous size. Keeping egos in check simultaneously with government numbers increase is the challenge. It is useful to ask what size a government should be?

A government should be the same size as the number of people employed by it. Are there too many government workers now? M.B.A. theory of Harvard would be to downsize government, force a hostile takeover or at least create a hedge fund to buy it. I doubt that anyone would argue that the size of government competence or intelligence has increased recently; in the national health care debate the poor are getting shafted as usual so that the middle class can get something for nothing, or negotiate as a group against the global corporations they are owned by while getting tax cuts and passing on the bill with service cuts to the poor. In that circumstance no amount of government increase in size would make the life of the poor better. Government corruption and bad citizenship increases with scale as well.

Destroying the living biomass of the universe with a trillion insults is probably dooming the U.S. and the world to tragedy in some time. In the meanwhile government incompetence and ideological idiocy by the broadcast media and public continues in the United States. The broadcast media alone basically dooms the U.S.A. to servitude to global corporations. John Ralston Sauls may be optimistic about the end of globalism is his book 'the end of globalism', yet I am not. What if the hierarchical priesthood is the whore of Babylon of revelation and a priesthood of believers is going to be continued to be set aside? The beast may be the worldly avarice that makes of human egos destructive idiots regarding ecological economic policy abandonment that allows the 'externalities' of destruction of the health of the biosphere for humanity and all other life forms.

Perhaps the government and global corporatism along with the false prophet of Mecca are all the beast of human ego. The meek should be better at ecological economics than the predatory global corporations and totalitarian socialist dictatorships. What size of government should exist to have a sensible government that provides health care for the poor first before negotiating better rates for the middle class? Is the and corporate leadership written in the book of death instead of the book of life? I would bet on it if I were a betting man.

Book of death federal policy could be reduced if N.P.R. were not a bunch of raving shills for corporatism. Sir Hottie, Lach me, Block , and Psy Kow Tow may not be the top dog like Steve Ins-keep, yet along with Del Barco they provide an unusual spin on federal rave propaganda that seems to make of Americans strangers in a strange land. All broadcast wavelengths should be reallocated to citizen Internet podcast type individual use.

The federal government began the year by announcing a plan to double the future U.S. federal debt. That plain incompetence follows the Bush incompetence and is more Larry Summers planning to enrich global corporations, Bernie Madhoffs and China generally that will pass up the United States as the largest world economy by the year 2027 and be twice the size less than 25 years after that. The United States is a mainly ego state in decline with wrong values unaware of how to reduce size of inopportune attack upon foreign enemies as well as the environment. The United States needs to relearn its theory of capitalism and learn that Adam Smith wasn't for the destruction of the welfare of his fellow Englishman but for there enrichment. Smith did not believe at all that a government had a right to dominate foreign trade and neither did he remotely imagine that a government ought to be replaced by large corporations. Smith believed in a liberal government so far as he was a friend and student of David Hume, and that the monarchy shouldn't dominate and restrict trade. In the United States today traded has become dominated and restricted more by the networks of corporate oligopoly than not, and much of the global trade is just intercorporation trade amidst subsidiaries-news media analysis of U.S. business and social interests is worse that a Tom Petty tune at getting to the core cheese issues on the table.

The United States has innumerable issues that should be fixed by some government of any size-one that acts like a democratic government instead of as a corporate servo unit. Since Ronald Reagan's brilliant deficit spending over-imbibing of Keynsianism Washington D.C. has gone on a binge of deficit spending unstopped even when Summer was the Clinton era economic designer of Chinese future economic growth and American downsizing within the Harvard M.B.A. logic of 'creative destruction'. The Muslims radicals will still be in Afghanistan in 20 years ready to blow up things, and the Al Qa'eda efforts to make America broke will continue to be supported by U.S. military spending in Afghanistan. At least we should build hundred of monolithic domes of concrete in villages for people to live in and hang out laundry to dry or whatever if it ever rains. Some American presence to remember besides amputaions should persist when we leave because there is no oil in Afghanistan.

The U.S. should build thousands of miles of electric go-cart urban suburban commuter lanns with in line recharging and keep them flowing with computer guidance. It should also have a trans-continental cargo and passenger magnetic linear motor 1000 m.p.h. airless tube. The borders should be set to zero illegal invasion of immigrant tolerance. There are scads of substantive political issues to fix and none are likely too while corporations are so bloody important and powerful along with their corporate newspapers and broadcast bullies.

Most of the recent public debt was addition to corporate business interests and military retirees-the public got bloody little. Cash for clunker politicians etc. Clunker cars and a clunker congress. Buggers
