Grassroots!
It is time that those of us that remember and understand how and why this nation was founded do what was done then:
We need to be and act self sufficient. We need to quit playing the entitlement and consolidation game. We need to do our best to take care of ourselves and our families. We need to Help our neighbors. We need to band together to help others when we can't do it individually.
We need to quit looking to government grants and safety nets for help in disaster and need.
Why do so many liberals hate faith based organizations? They hate them because (I'm leaving out the #1 that we recognize a supreme being who is better than all of us together) these organizations are very good at banding together to give a Hand up with life changing benefits. Faith based relies on teaching how to fish rather than handing out fish. When we band together to help a person make wise choices and life changing modifications to their lives the liberals lose their grip on the masses.
Take advantage of the "loopholes" in the tax code and give to your church or place of worship to help those in need with financial issues, health issues, or material needs (private food shelves, home repairs, places of shelter, clothing, transportation). Next time you hear that your city or public school is going to build a playground and do it with grants from the State or Federal Government - Band together in a group to raise donations (tax deductible if given through a local foundation) and pay for it with private funds.
We need to make public control of our welfare system obsolete! We need to do what Pres. GHW Bush meant when he set tax cuts in place so we could help each other rather than relying on big government.
If we band together to help our family, friends and neighbors we will not have the time or energy to worry about the fear mongering regardless of which side of the fear we are on. The bigger benefit will be that we develop a strong community that cares for itself rather than a dependent community that the liberal class wants us to be! Isn't this what capitalism is supposed to be all about when compared to socialism?
Someone else care to use the soapbox now?
