Sorry, Thinking Person, I disagree about Huckabee. I like him just fine as a person, but he’d have Government do in the name of God what Obama will do in the name of “spreading the wealth.” It may be more palatable to you if it’s done in the name of God, but socialism by any other name is still the same failed thing. Besides, God wants us to give of ourselves of our own free will, not because Government forces us to. That’s the essential lesson both Huckabee and Obama seem to have missed.
I’m not much of a leader, but I am a planner. If someone around here primed a campaign I could lend myself to, I’d go to town (and the mat) if they’d let me.
We need to articulate that American freedom is about being free to reach as high as you dare, but that the flip side of that incredible freedom means also risking failure, and not just any failure but the sort that lands you lower than you ever thought you could get. People today fear failure too much. They want government to save them from it because they don’t want to experience it, but I contend that a people that do not know true failure will likewise never realize true success. We need a leader who can express that and make people buy into that. Only then, can we maybe start to undo the stranglehold the government has on our lives.
