"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
There is no question that the men that founded this country were acting under Divine guidance. Completely, wholeheartedly with the Lord's loving guidance. I know that is true.
Something hit me yesterday when they were discussing this quote in Relief Society. We as American people are entitled only to PURSUE happiness. Not that we are just ENTITLED to happiness but that we can PURSUE it. I am so grateful for the gospel that gives us the perfect recipe for happiness.
I have been reading
alot about the 2,700 page health care reform that will be voted on later this week. Who is honestly going to read 2,700 pages of anything? I for one have not read the 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" for that very reason. I do think that Medicare and Medicaid are great programs for those in need.
This health care proposal is deeply
disturbing all the way through and the ramifications will be felt long after 2017 when Obama leaves the office, if he is re-elected. One democrat has given up his Dem seat and joined the republican party. And another representative gave up his seat all together, not wanting to be part of the corruption. This is c
ommunism cloaked in coalition, no other way around it. The Obama Administration even somehow got a backdoor way to allow the bill to proceed without the normal 60 vote majority. It now is simply 51 votes away from reality. I could get into some of the nuts and bolts that I disagree (Where to start?)
Anyway, just sounding off a little. Maybe we shouldn't just be GIVEN anything. Maybe we should pursue insurance (and whatever else) if we really want. That is how this country was set up under the direction of the Almighty. To ensure our freedom. I wonder if the founding fathers are turning in their graves?!
Just needed to think out loud!
