And you didn't see what was deleted.

How will you go about this unselfish act? How will you keep our nation free from governmental tyranny and socialistic communisms, examples please. Something you would personally do and be responsible for.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is not something 'you supply' but something you repeated from the Declaration of Independence.

BINGO! It's something you LIVE absent big govt.!!!!

i thought you were going to give this a chance and try to stand behind him?

Well, I didn't mean just this thread or even here on Mingle, I meant in general (but I am glad I missed it ). I mean society in general wants to blame the president, congress, the supreme court, the neighbor's cousin's boyfriend's best friend's dog for our problems. Thing is, we are responsible, we voted these people in, we refuse to vote them out, we allow them to get away with stuff we know isn't right or good for anyone but them.

And the thing is, the past doesn't matter anymore. It's over, it's done with, it's gone, it can't be changed. It's pointless to question how, or why, or who. What does matter is, where do we go from here? How can I do my part to create a different present, and therefore a different and hopefully better future? What is my personal responsiblity going forward?

So if you are against big government why not go about your life and live absent big government? What purpose does complaining about it serve?

Worry about YOU.

This past election has gotten me more interested in politics.
I did some volunteering and I plan on doing more in the future.

Still not providing nor proof nor examples, but trying to make points using other people's words.

As you can't or won't share how 'you' would provide any of the above guess I'll do as always -skip your posts of cut and paste.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will only be absent when 'you/me/everyone' ceases caring and working towards it, not when govt is absent.

Accepting responsibility is and should always be done before the finger pointing begins.

But pointing fingers and blaming others is what we Americans do.....

Fran, don't be a spoilsport!

Me too. I also plan on doing more volunteer work with causes I find important.

Thing is, it doesn't matter what you believe or where you stand on any issue. Get out in your community and do some work for whatever it is you believe in. Homelessness, stricter/looser gun control laws or drug laws, foster care for children, cancer society, reading programs for kids, whatever. If you believe it, DO IT!

I don't say this to be mean but this remark is so ignorant...like what one person does doesn't affect another??? Are you kiddin' me????

I like to keep things local. What I do for people no one has to know...not the media not govt. Freedom is for people who have the courage to go out & make a life for themselves.

Help comes from people we live around...not federalizing everything to fit some small minded mold of what civilized society should be.

Other than working class issues...I think all other funding & charitable giving should be & stay local. Like free enterprize...let people decide for themselves who they want to help & who they want to support.

To answer your question Fran...

I think what she meant was you don't believe in big government, so live your life without it. It is possible, many many people choose to live their lives with as little involvement with their government as possible. That's how they choose to pursue their liberty and happiness.

Thank you very much for translating my hopelessly ignorant remark.....
