Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness

With the close of Memorial Day weekend, I hope everyone took time to think of those who have defended, or now defend our freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We should especially think of those who have died defending our country and these very principals.

This reminds me that we have a right to a government that holds dear the foundation of this beautiful country. Think about it: Freedom. Life. Liberty. Pursuit of Happiness. When I think of our growing dependence on our government, with health care for example, I cant help but question whether these principals are in jeopardy.

America fought to gain freedom from England, who repressed its people with bigger government and higher taxes. Are we not headed back in this direction, in some form or fashion?

Freedom to choose.
Life, quality of life, choices in health care.
Liberty and our ability to govern ourselves.
Pursuit of happiness and the shelter from being taxed heavily.

We should ask ourselves if our founding fathers would think we are on the right path. We should ask ourselves if our government is coveting the very things our military fight, and have fought and died for.
