When this blog thing all started I lacked focus.  Today, I lack focus, but I now understand that lack of focus to be part of my plan.  Let me explain…

I listen to a lot of talk radio.  Friends joke that I remove the FM from my car radios.  I read drudge several times a day and chase the articles of interest.  Through all that crap, i occassionally have an original thought.  Where to share it?  The wife long ago grew sick of my tirades.  Co-workers would understandably be put off by it.  So you, my good reader, are the anonymous victim of my bolt of arrows that fly like so many scuds from my keyboard.

What do I talk about on this blog?  First, what I don’t talk about… family, what i do for fun, the minutia of my day to day activities.  Now, I may have put some of that crap on here in the past, but i doubt you’ll see much of it in the future.  What moves me is politics.  Not because the candidates or their message is so inspired.  What moves me is the ideals that brought the earliest europeans to this nation.  From them, what motivated inspired men of God to risk their lives and their families lives their home, their career, in short, their all, to chase liberty.  The American Experiment.  What seperated us from so many nations/empires/worlds gone by?  The ideals set forth in the Declaration of INdependence, the US Constitution are pearls from God.  Given to man as an endowment from which to build a world where his son’s work could flourish.  Only in America could Christianity thrive and go forth to the rest of the world in righteous power.  Further, in this nation, man is free to choose liberty and eternal life, or death and destruction.  The government is limited by the constitution from choosing for us.  So don’t let anyone tell you we should empower the government to insure our home loans, give health care, student loans, daycare, tax breaks for kids, or any other social program because it is “good” or because it “helps people”.  ANy nation powerful enough to give those things in earnest will necessarily be powerful enough to take them away and more.  THough it is true, a powerful central government centered in God would have the ability to accomplish the most good, all it takes is one evil successor to create tyranny.  And power once given to a government is rarely rescinded.  Hasnt history taught the democrats yet that a strong central government only leads to death and destruction via tyranny.  How many wars have been fought to unseat a leader empowered by a nation hungry for change?

So maybe something I write motivates you to read the constitution again, or cherish your freedom just a little more.  Or maybe I just feel better for remembering it myself.
