A Lack Of Restraint Leads To Ruin.

    One of the basic tenants of liberal thinking is that total freedom or  pure liberty,  can only be fully achieved in a society,  where there  are little or  no restraints. One need only to analyse such thinking to realize the all to obvious fallacy in this premise.The truth is,  even freedom must have some limitations. I'll use a classic example to illustrate this point. All Americans, are assured of the freedom of speech but I wouldn't suggest yelling at the top of one's  lungs the word fire in a dark sold out movie theater. Such an action,  would crate a panic and people would literally trample over the top of each other trying to reach the nearest exit.
    As I consider various moral trends in American society today,  I find that often,  America,  still follows certain biblical guild lines. I'm afraid however,  that more and more the guidelines they  are choosing to follow are the ones expressed in Genesis, 6:5 the passage reads as follows; "And God,  saw that the wickedness of man was great and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart, was only evil continually." American society, as a whole may not have reached this threshold just yet, but much of American society,  certainly follows the moral guidelines found in the biblical book of Judges, 21:25 the passage reads as follows; "In those days, there was no king in Israel and each man did that which was right in his own eyes." The words found in this passage,  seem to summarize the basic liberal progressive philosophy many in this nation, now choose to follow.
    Benjamin Franklin, warned against following such a philosophy for he knew such philosophy would destroy what was then a fragile American republic. Franklin, said, the following;"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As a nation becomes more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Franklin, also warned the new nation against an over reliance on the federal government to meet all of an individuals needs. His words,  were said 230 years ago but he could have easily said them today,  they are as follows;"When the people find,  they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
    Right now,  President Obama, seeks, unlimited  power to raise the governments debt ceiling, without seeking approval from the Congress.If the House, is unable to garnish a suitable compromise regarding the fecal cliff America's economy now faces, I fear that Obama,  will be granted such power and such a seizure of  power,  could very well threaten the economic survival of the nation. Liberty and freedom,  are the by products of man's free will. Free will,  was one of God's greatest gifts to man kind but abused and exercised without necessary restraint, it  can lead the the destruction of our American society, for indeed,  freedom, coupled withe responsible restraint,  is the essence of true liberty. One can only pray, that America, as a nation, will seek God's guidance for only he,  can restore such a necessary balance. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
