The Ditty Bag is "a small bag in which a sailor keeps small tools and equipment, also personal articles." -- John Rogers in Origins of Sea Terms
Congressional Election (definition)- a contest to see who can spend the most '-other peoples money'; the winner of the contest is the person that spends the most 'other peoples money' and proves that they are the best qualified to go to the big show and really spend 'other peoples money'. --Dale E. Brown
It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights-the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are rations of slavery-hay and a barn for human cattle.
Every function of government should be handled at the lowest possible level of government (closest to the people).
'The function the government is not to take care of us. the function of government is to maintain a safe and free environment and encourage a robust economic system that encourages all citizens to pursue a free, rewarding, productive, and happy existence'. - Dale E. Brown
'We are but a bridge between our ancestors and our descendents. It is our responsibility as a generation to pass on to our descendents a nation that is as great as or greater than the nation that was passed to us by our ancestors. Our success as a generation will depend on this. Can we succeed in this by borrowing against the future of those who follow us in order to obscure our irresponsibility and maintain our own comfort level? Personal responsibility taken by our ancestors is what made America great. Our refusal as a generation to take personal responsibility will make America less great and we will have failed in our historic responsibilities. Do we want to be known as the generation that failed America? There are those that will prosper if we fail. Those same groups will probably prosper if we succeed. Our success or failure will be the judgment of our descendents. The day of reckoning is here. It is up to us to choose success or failure. I choose success, but I am but one. The rest is up to you. Please choose wisely. - Dale E. Brown
'Liberty cannot be established without morality, or morality without faith. '
'There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. '
'The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.'
- - Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) French Political Philosopher
