ONLY A MIRACLE CAN SAVE THE USA AS ONE NATION.
I truly believe that only a miracle can save the USA as one nation. However, I do believe in miracles. It is sad for me to say but I believe it is only a matter of time before the liberals actually get their long awaited one payer medical care system. That doesn’t mean anti big government opponents like me should just roll over.
When I look at the big battle going on, on capital hill about overhauling our medical care system it is no secret that the liberal’s ultimate goal is socialized medicine. In my view its not going to matter a whole lot what they do because runaway medical cost can’t be fixed until first the economy is fixed. And our economy can’t be fixed until our welfare state beast is starved out of existence.
Yes, I said it, we must get rid of our welfare state, but I doubt you can find even 5 percent of the USA population that will agree with me on doing that. If you go back over 5 thousand years of written history there has never been any form of government like a welfare state until the “New Deal” came along.
The nuclear and extended family, the church, and social organizations have always taken care of the poor, homeless, and downtrodden, but never a government until western civilization followed the "New Deal" suit. Wise men of old had the wisdom to realize no matter what happens, don't ever destroy your lifeblood nuclear and extended family system by removing a survival need for it.
That is the one thing no civilization can recover from, that is why I cry and plead so hard for even an ounce of sanity. And I have over 5 thousand years of proof backing me up. The nuclear and extended family is the support and building block foundation of every society known to man, there are no exceptions.
Cutting taxes to the bone thereby creating a survival need for it is the only way to bring back the strong nuclear and extended family system that will save this great land of the free and home of the brave. Our welfare state is a provider form of government and that alone makes it the boss, dependents, you best mind your manners.
Like the saying goes, you can’t have two captains of the same ship and sooner or later individual freedom is not going to survive with government as a social and family provider. It is already beginning to happen. Today the welfare state has created too many dependents that believe only in bigger and more government, so, now it is only a matter of when, not will the economy collapse.
I don’t like admitting it, but the odds are in favor of the liberals eventually getting everything they want, thereby destroying the USA for good in the process. The “New Deal and its programs allowed the camel to get it's nose under the tent, then flamboyant liberals using The gift of gab and The course of least resistant" sunk this country to where it is today.
Nature's law of “Taking the course of least resistance” affects us all too some degree and there is no getting around that fact. And the liberals are experts at "Taking the course of least resistance" and shifting blame, which in most cases is not the wisest course to take. The welfare state beast we have today is the result of mostly liberal thinking and spending money we don’t have.
There is no doubt in my mind that individual freedom in the USA will not survive as long as our welfare state is in power. Nothing, and I mean nothing is going to prevent it from eventually consolidating to absolute take over power, unless its money supply power source is taken away. That means this beast must be starved to death if individual freedom is to survive in the USA.
There is no other way, it is now either it or us who love individual freedom. To hell with the shallow minded liberals, they sold out over 80 years ago with the “New Deal” and have been selling the country down the river ever since. “Long live my homeland, the home I love.”

I'LL TAX YOU, TAX YOU, TAX YOU, TO KINGDOM COME.
All big tax and spenders are not liberals but there is no doubt they are the ones leading the herd. I’ll go even farther and say that most of the people that are for higher and higher taxes are shallow and selfish. They lack the perspective and depth to understand cause and effect.
Liberals can’t see the human factory in dealing with people; they think when you tax the hell out of a person it ends there. They don’t understand the relativity effect. They either don’t understand or don’t care that when you raise taxes it always changes behavior, what is that if not selfish.
They don’t understand that today even the middle income folks has to spend every red cent trying too keeping up. They don’t understand the money the government is taking and squandering is not kept in that person’s community providing a livelihood for some hard working soul.
Liberals think someone like me is mean, cold, and uncaring, wrong. They think someone like me is against helping the poor, wrong. I’m against conditioning the poor to be a dependent. The liberals have it backward with helping the poor.
The liberals believe in helping the poor first and then begging them to help themselves, whereas I believe in forcing the poor to try to help themselves first then I’ll give the shirt off my back to someone genuine trying to survive. I understand why the liberal media and others see someone like me as uncaring and out of touch.
That is because they have never paid a severe price for survival. Throughout history almost nothing of any true lasting value has come about without some type of great struggle. Almost my whole existence has been and is still about a severe mental struggle to survive with pride and dignity.
No one has to tell me how it feels to be ridiculed, laughed at, humiliated, and counted out even to the extreme. I have experienced and know what severe self-hate and self-shame feels like, and you tell me I don’t care and has no feeling for the down trodden, yet, I have survived and am still standing.
No one can convince me I have an excuse for failure. I know personally that to try and keep trying works. I know the true power of forgiveness, or I wouldn’t be still standing. Please excuse me for a little self-serving on speaking about me personally but sometimes things just need to be said.
The thing about survival is there are things no one can see or understand unless they personally pay the price. That is why destiny has brought me, Freddie L. Sirmans, Sr’s out of the wood works to sound the alarm. I may seemingly be unqualified, uneducated, neurotic, and counted out but sounding the alarm must go forth, regardless.22 JULY 2009, 1315 HOURS, ADD ON.
The United States of America has been around over 200 years and in my opinion its survival is under the gravest threats ever. But, very few people know what the gravest threat of all is or even have the wisdom to believe it when told.
There is no sense in me beating around the bush building up suspense. “Too many people believing more government is the answer” is in my view the gravest of all threats this great country ever faced.
When you go back before the “New deal” when this “More government mentality” first got a foot in the door around 80 years ago, then it was the nuclear and extended family system that kept the hungry fed and the homeless off the streets. Since then it’s been all down hill ever since. There is no sense in me going on and on trying to convince shallow minds.
I’ll sum it up by saying unless taxes are cut to the bone across the board to bring back a survival need for the nuclear and extended family system there will be no saving the USA as one nation. I may not be right about a lot of things but there is no doubt that I’m right on this.
If my wisdom is ignored it really won’t matter what other actions are taken the USA as we know it will not survive. There has never been and never will be a society that survived long term without a healthy nuclear and extended family system, “You can look it up.” God I ask in your name save my homeland. 22 JULY 2009, 1829 HOURS, 2ND ADD ON.
No form of government is going to succeed without an adequate nuclear and extended family system foundation in place. A lot of people are concerned about this nation going completely socialist when it looks like the government is trying to seize absolute power.
Well, my take on this whole scenario is, dealing with a depression or going socialist would be a cakewalk to what I believe we are about to face. I believe the USA and western civilization is about to face chaos and the total breakdown of society when this global economy fails.
I base this on the fact that the welfare state system has almost completely destroyed the fabric that holds any society together. The things I’m talking about are an adequate nuclear and extended family system, an adequate moral and family value system, and an adequate emergency backup bartering capacity.
We as a nation have very little of any of those survival tools left. This is something I have been yelling about for years, still, ain’t nobody listening, how sad.24 JULY 2009, 0834 HOURS, 3RD ADD ON.
I see where the minimum wage is going up again. I am against any minimum wage so you know up front where I stand on the issue. Next to the welfare state I believe the minimum wage is the second most destructive thing that has been done to free enterprise in America and Western Europe.
It is like General motors building a vehicle with no reverse, which of course no one would buy. You can’t have success without failure. You can’t have progress without mistakes. You can’t grow big without starting small. The higher the minimum wage the harder it is to start at all. We can't survive with no one providing any jobs.
The problem is very few people including economist truly understand the foundation of economics. Almost everyone thinks cutting taxes to the bone will destroy the USA, wrong. Sure, it would be a nightmare and would destroy wealth as we know it along with all of the crud, inefficiency, moral decay, and everything else choking this country to death.
But, out of the rebirth would spring forth more greatness than ever before; otherwise the course of higher and higher taxes we are on is guaranteed doom.
The liberals for many years have been slowly tightening the screws closing off all common sense and it’s now beginning to come to a head. I have said many times it is not the amount of dollars that matters; it is really the buying power of the dollar that matters.
A million dollars is not going to keep you alive if there is no food to buy or if those that have it won’t sell. No amount of modern technology or materialistic creature comfort is going to matter if you don’t have food to eat. So, when you see all of this reckless printing of worthless money that is promoting a farther culture decline, it is only a matter of time before starvation raises it ugly head. Food and culture goes hand in hand and our culture is almost gone, lack of food will soon follow, whether you believe me or not. I rest my case.

A SUPER GREAT BRAIN STORMING HEALTH CARE IDEA!
This may sound radical and surprising coming from a die hard anti-big government advocate like me. Seriously, do Americans really want health care fixed or not. Well, I’ll tell you how, you may not agree or like it but it’s the most safe and practical approach to our life or death health care problem that I’ve ever heard of.
First, responsible leadership should set up in several large cities a test system similar to the veterans system, but, keep it separate by using only a token like script. Next, issue the scrip to only those below a certain income or other qualifying conditions.
After about a year or so there should be some proven results one way or another, that way we may not destroy the best health care system to ever exist in the history of mankind. Note, I didn’t say the cheapest, but it is by far the best in the world. If test results are positive, sure, it could be expanded.
Still, my belief is the only way to save the USA medical health care system or even the economy itself is to kick the government completely out of it, period. If the government insist on being uncle sugar then fund public only things off to the side, but don’t destroy the nation’s culture, economy, and everything else in the process.
When government is out of the way natural selection market forces will never let prices or anything else get out of control. “You can’t get blood out of a turnip and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link." A business can’t charge more than the poor can pay, that is if the government butt out mind its own business and let the nuclear family fulfill its proper role.

FREDDIE L. SIRMANS, SR’S LOG: 08 JULY 2009, 1320 HOURS.THE MYTH OF FREE HEALTH CARE!
I really don’t know where to start on this subject because so few have the perspective to see the big picture on this matter. Anyway, I’ll just start with research and who brought modern medicine to the high level it is today. You better believe it was not a one payer communist or socialist system.
It is what’s left of the good ole private enterprise free market system in the USA and its research that blazes the way in modern medicine. And another thing, big government has created this “Do for me” dependency mentality so strong that most people see the medical insurance companies as the big bad boogie man, not true, but they are guilty of paying the wrong people.
There should be a law forbidding the insurance companies from paying anyone other than who takes out the insurance, that would solve ninety nine percent of the insurance blame game politics. Sure, there would be a trust factor, but the patient would always know what is coming out of his hide and it would control care giver greed.
Medical care and medical insurance should be two entirely different things with one not influencing the other. Let’s brain storm and leave medical insurance out of the picture for a moment. Okay, you go to the doctor and he treats you and charges you a fee. He will expect you to pay the whole fee or as much as possible at the time.
Most people won’t have the lump sum or it will cause them a severe hardship, this is where medical insurance companies found a niche. Without insurance or government involved market forces would definitely control prices. That is the true problem in the medical profession today there is no market forces to help control prices, just like throughout the economy.
What people forget is medical insurance like all businesses is profit driven. For insurance companies to survive they can only insure healthy people and hope too many won’t become sick at one time. However, today most people have come to see insurance companies as a cash cow just like they view big government.

6 WORDS WILL DETERMINE IF USA SURVIVES OR GOES THE WAY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
FREDDIE L. SIRMANS, SR’S LOG: 03 JULY 2009, 1013 HOURS
In 6 words I will tell you why the USA can be saved and not go the way of the Roman Empire. The 6 words are “The government shouldn’t be a Provider.” Sure, only on a temporary basis during an emergency the government must come to the aid of its people.
Today Very few people know what wealth is and how it is created, that is why most of the world is poor and will always be poor. Liberals have never understood wealth and still don’t to this day, that is why only a miracle will save the USA with liberals in almost total control.
Wealth is the result of excess human energy in some form, that will be a foreign language to most that reads this, but it’s true. A nuclear family, a state, and a nation all is made up of individuals. And in the final analysis that is the main thing that determines the health and wealth of any nation.
No sane individual is going to produce anything extra when the government takes it away and doles it out to non producers no matter the reason. Government is a destroyer of wealth and incentive; only private enterprise will produce more than enough food and wealth for the individual and the nation. Sure, some nations can prosper by selling natural resources but that is not producing and creating wealth.
What belongs to everyone in reality belongs to no one, and no caretaking will take place except by force. Whereas, there is no greater excess wealth producing forces on earth than greed and self-interest. Greed and self-interest should be bridled and harnessed but never, never completely shut down like in communist and socialist governments.
Only individual freedom and a private enterprise free market system will allow two of the most powerful motivating forces on earth greed and self-interest to generate more excess energy in wealth than you can shake a stick at. Sure, like electricity greed and self-interest can be very dangerous but they are not your enemy.
