The Camel In The Tent:
Not long ago I was in a short discussion about the state of our world and especially the way our federal government is conducting it's business these days. Ever hear about the camel in the tent during a sand storm? In this story the tent owner allows the camel to put only its nose in the tent but soon the tent owner finds himself kicked out of the tent for the camel has taken it over. I used this analogy to illustrate what our lives will be like as long as we keep allowing our responsibilities to be outsourced to governmental entities or other such institutions. If we continue to allow others to stick their noses where they don't belong we will soon be perplexed and unprepared finding ourselves kicked out of our own tents and into the sandstorm...
I realize this may sound disappointing but really the best we can do is educate ourselves and those in our circle of influence on the cause of liberty and the best way to institute it so we (or our descendants) are ready to step in when the fall happens. In other words, don't outsource your personal responsibilities, be prepared and have a spare tent ready!
The Dangerous and Misleading Problem With Our Elections:
The solution to our modern American election problem is simple:Better voters.
Voters are the hope of our future, specifically voters who are more calmly and consistently involved in politics on a daily basis both during and between elections, more locally focused, less emotional and wiser, less swayed by the media and the experts, more principle-centered, and more deeply studied in the principles and details of freedom.
If becoming a nation of such voters is too much to ask, then the future of freedom will be short.
