In his book “Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves” Robert Ringer said, “Anything sacred should be guarded with a passion, which is why you should never allow anyone to gain control of your greatest asset. And the best way to accomplish that is to be vigilant when it comes to relying on your own ability to think rationally as opposed to blindly accepting the opinions of others.”

I think that our Country has let down its guard and blindly listened to the leaders of our government for far too long. A small percentage of elitist have managed to convince a large portion of the population that the government knows what is best for their life. Hitler said “What good fortune for government that the people do not think.” This is the exact thinking of our Federal Government today. There is only one problem with that thinking. A majority of us have wakened up and are listening to our hearts and know that this is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned for this Great Country. Little by little there are more and more individuals who have never been politically active getting involved.

You might be reading this and wondering how you can get involved, well the number one way to get involved is to educate yourself on the Founding Fathers and why our Constitution is the greatest document ever written. W. Cleon Skousen’s “The 5,000 Year Leap, A Miracle That Changed the World” is a book that will give you that education. Other great educational resources that can be found on our site are the Heritage Foundation, National Center for Constitutional Studies (W. Cleon Skousen founded It.) and the Cato Institute.

So heed the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.” And educate yourself on our heritage so when a progressive tries to tell you that the Constitution is outdated you have the ammunition to shoot their miss-information full of holes.

I watched an interview with the CEO of Safeway the other day.  Their health care cost have stayed flat for the last four years while the rest of the industries cost have risen 38%.  How can one company maintain health cost while everyone else’s is skyrocketing?

Steve Burd, The CEO of Safeway, simply came to the conclusion that if each employee wants to pay lower health cost they will have to meet certain standards.  When the standards are met the employees cost is reduced any where from $700 – $ 1,500.  The key to this is the employee has to take personal responsibility for his health.  Let me say that again for you Progressives out there.  Each employee has to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for his health. WOW!! What a concept in this day and age where most people believe they are entitled to everything.

You might wonder how taking personal responsibility for your health lowers your cost.  Well, by not smoking, keeping your weight under control and exercising you are going to be healthier so in theory you will not need to use your insurance as much as someone who smokes is overweight and doesn’t exercise.  For Safeway employees who maintain a healthy lifestyle their cost for health care has decreased 25% in the last four years.

Why is this not being talked about more?  One very good reason, if the progressives encouraged personal responsibility they know that people would realize, hey I don’t need the Government to do everything for me.  I can make decisions on my own.  That is not what a Progressive wants.  They need to have total control over every aspect of your life. 

Take a look at the interview with Steve Burd.
