Nanny State: People Predicted this Would Happen

http://www.ijreview.com/2012/06/7550-18-crazy-examples-america-is-turning-into-a-nanny-state/

America the Nanny State Welcomes You.  We get to tell you what to eat, how to dress, how to spend your money, and get to control your personal life.  That is how America is turning out to be and I am not surprised at all.  Political Scientists have predicted that this would happen.  This all began with The Great Depression when states and the American people really needed the help of the federal government.  However, the states are getting a bit out of control with the the whole lets control what every American does in their lives.  The government makes its seem like they do not have bigger problems then telling someone to not feed the homeless and have a special team come into people's homes to get expired milk.  

Why does the government not focus on improving the school systems rather than worrying about what a kid brings to school for lunch, in which that is the parents right to pack whatever the heck they want into their child's lunch. You are so worried about Americans having Bible Studies in their own homes that you forget to tell teachers and leaders to stress moral values to bring down the crime rates.  

Minnesota is worried about muddy vehicles when they should continue to stress the extreme importance of not driving while intoxicated and drive the correct way.  

Finally, the government is so worried about what the heck we say on the internet because it protects us.  I understand that you want to keep us safe, but we have the right to say what we want and when we want as long as it does not incite violence or is hate speech.  

Word to the government, which you are likely viewing this.  Read up on the Constitution and look at the ways that you are violating it.  The 14 Amendment made the Bill of Rights applicable in any state and you clearly violate them on a daily basis. Read the Founding Fathers books, letters and articles to understand how they wanted America to be.  Many may think they are already in ashes and this is modern America, however they valued our liberty and happiness more than anything.  They fought a revolution so that we can say what we want and go as high as we want to in this country and my government is not going to prevent me from going as high as I want to g.  I think that government is necessary and I am thankful that the government has helped me to get through my life and what not, but there is such a thing as too much government interference.

I thank the Founding Fathers for giving me the freedom to say what I want and do what I want as long as I do not hurt others.  I feel that government is necessary.  On the other hand, I am American and I will fight to protect my liberty and be able to keep my individuality.  

THE FIVE THINGS AMERICA IS BUILT ON

1. INDIVIDUALISM
2. CIVIC DUTY: LOOK AT STATISTICS WE DONATE MORE MONEY AS INDIVIDUALS
3. POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
4. LIBERTY 
5. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY:  

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani Execution

Iran has been known to make false reports on why someone has been arrested. It happens all the time there. This Pastor is being executed because he refuses to give up his Christian faith and they think that he was trying to convert Muslims. However, Iran is saying that he raped someone and committed extortion. In which we know is false.

Some of you may not know how Iran operates. Well, I will let you know. They arrest hundreds of people a year on false charges. Now to get them to admit to the false charges and sign a document they torture them until they comply. They prefer to whip them, beat them, and sometimes not feed them. They like to make sure that they are alive. Then after they get the false confession, they usually kill them silently. Sometimes, the execution is public if they are high crimes and they make sure that people will see what will happen to them if they do not comply to the rules.

This Pastor has been wronged. Now I have never believed that Iran is trying to give them more rights and freedoms. NO, they will not. I would like to believe that they will, but it is not going to happen. One of the reasons it is not going to happen is because there police enforce rules that they feel like enforcing that day or week. One week they will allow women to have slightly heavy make up and than the next week they will get arrested and receive lashes for their punishment.

I honestly think that as Americans and people across the world need to take Iran's promises with a grain of salt. They are not going to fulfill those promises until someone takes the power from Aytollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, Morteza Bakhtiari (Minister of Justice), and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I pray for his family and the many others that have been harmed by Iran's government. Many people die each year because of the injustice that goes on there. So many people try to leave that country every year because of what goes on. Fellow Christians, we need to keep fighting for what we believe in, no matter what harm comes to us. This Pastor is and was doing his duty for God and we just need to keep fighting.
