From a Speech given by Calvin Coolidge on January 7, 1914 to the Massachusetts legislator -

"Government cannot relieve from toil. It can provide no substitute for the rewards of service. It can, of course, care for the defective and recognize distinguished merit. The normal must care for themselves. Self-government means self-support. Man is born into the universe with a personality that is his own. He has a right that is founded upon the Constitution of the universe to have property that is his own. Ultimately, property rights and personal rights are the same thing. The one cannot be preserved if the other be violated. Each man is entitled to his rights and the rewards of his service, be they never so large or never so small."

"The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is one. We are all members of one body. The welfare of the weakest and the welfare of the most powerful are inseparably bound together. Industry cannot flourish if labor languish. Transportation cannot prosper if manufactures decline. The general welfare cannot be provided for in any one act, but it is well to remember that the benefit of one is the benefit of all, and the neglect of one is the neglect of all..."

"Do the day's work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, do it. If it be to help a powerful corporation better serve the people, what ever the opposition, do that. Expect to be called a stand-patter, but do not be a stand-patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but do not be a demagogue. Do not hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. do not hurry to legislate. Give administration a change to catch up with legislation."

"We need a broader, firmer, deeper faith in the people - a faith that men desire to do right, that the Commonwealth is founded upon a righteousness which will endure, a reconstructed faith that the final approval of the people is given not to demagogues, slavishly pandering to their selfishness, merchandising with the clamor of the hour, but to statesmen, ministering to their welfare, and representing their deep, silent, and abiding convictions."

Calvin Coolidge was born on the 4th of July in 1872, Plymouth Notch, Vermont. He was the 30th President of the United States of America. He supported a small government and believed in the good of the people, as did Ronald Reagan.

Please take time to learn more about our leaders. They have blessed us with their wisdom, toil and service.

The Assassination of John F. Kennedy

The Assassination of John F. Kennedy -
Today, forty-six years ago, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed, starting a violent, chaotic decade of change. The United States had experienced nearly a dozen years of peaceful economic expansion. The threat of the 'Cold War', the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam although very real, were a fact of life. President Kennedy's naive approach to relations with the than Soviet Union, gave us a brief glimpse of the foreign policy challenges that Kennedy fumbled. The gravity of his death clouded the deep problems dividing the Democrat party, his unfaithful marriage and his passive action on civil rights.

Today, there are many that do not believe the 'official' version of his murder, and his death remains unsolved. Yet, others have placed him and his presidency above the fray of politics. In Camelot, in myth his life is remembered.

In less than two hundred years of American history, John F. Kennedy was the fourth president assassinated. He was forty-six years old.

Hillary, Where are you?

The Health Care Bill has passed! Yesterday or last night, the House of Representatives voted not to represent America. Instead, they moved the Country closed to disaster and conceded to the wishes of the "special interest groups," - follow the money. Mr. Obama made another campaign pitch on Capitol Hill, this time with some results. All of the Democrats were present and accounted for to get the bill through the hurdle. Except Hillary.

As Congress pushes America closer to destroying the "Free Enterprises System" in United States, Health Care as it is known will be demolished with the rest of our "sick" economy. President Obama did not have political charm in the elections in 2009. The voters showed the Congress that there are Americans that are very concerned with endless, careless spending. Now, with the Tax and Tax Energy Bill - there will be no small businesses left.

In 1993, our economy was much healthier and Hillary R. Clinton proposed sweeping changes to Health Care, with no success. She has put her time in on Capitol Hill, as First Lady and Senator. Many of the "ideas" articulated in her bill were brought forward sixteen years, with extra baggage.

Now, Hillary is no way to found in Washington DC. Infact, Secretary Clinton is as faraway from this drama as any politician can be - Berlin, Germany. Yep, the wall is gone, after twenty years ago since the fall, a wall that was built to keep East Berliners in. The building started in 1960 when there was an East and West Berlin. Presidents Kennedy and Reagan spoke of freedom and liberty. And our current President, Mr. Obama declined an invitation from Chancellor Merkel to be present at the celebration. Why isn't President Obama representing our Country? Again, we are not being represented by our leader.

Does Secretary Clinton dare go where Barry and Joe will not? Is it the destiny of Hillary R. Clinton, as the Hawk Democrat, to save the party that has fallen to the left? Hillary 2012???
