Independence Is One Thing, Arrogance, That's Another.

  President Obama, is going out of his way to try and convince Americans,  that government must play a huge part in all of our lives.I realize there will always be those who truly need help  from the government and I think government should be there to help those who no fault of their own find themselves in circumstances that would make life very hard if government did not help them a person recently unemployed may need a little help for a time but living off government assistance should not  be a life time option unless your retired and have earned your social security or are  disabled to the point where you cannot work. I realize there are folks like this and I feel it's just fine if government provides help for those who  either earned it  or  really need it.
  The problem I have with  Obama's economic point of view is simply this he implies that without the aid of government no one could do anything! This type of thinking is simply not true.What has made America, so  great is the idea that each person has the freedom to think for themselves and no one owns an idea. A person may start a business or invent a new type of invention but not even government can  own the thinking process that creates the idea for the new business or the new invention. Alexander Graham Bell,  invented the telephone.Long before the telephone was invented it was an idea in the mind of Alexander Graham Bell.The government certainly uses telephones today but they can never own the idea of the telephone because that was the the inspiration of the genius of Alexander Graham Bell. The Wright brothers flew the first plane in Kitty Hawk North Carolina, in 1903. I'm glad the government was not involved in that process because if government would have been involved the idea of  man being able to fly would never have gotten off the ground.
  As a  Christian,  I know that imagination and creativity are God's gifts to humanity and each person is a creation from God, and no government on earth can own creative genius that is something that can only be given by God. Americans,  have always been known as a people that prefer to be independent and free  to express their ideas and develop their creativity which is limited only by the the will of the human imagination. God,  is the author of creativity to suggest that government can own creativity is the height of human arrogance. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.
