OLD MOTHER HUBBARD

THE EMPTY CUPBOARD THEORY SEEMS TO BE ATTRACTING MORE PAGE HITS THAN ANY OF THE OTHER RAMBLINGS, THUS I FEEL A NEED TO REVISIT THE IDEAS AND SOUNDNESS BEHIND IT.

WE IN AMERICA HAVE LOST THE VISION OF AMERICA AND ITS BLESSINGS AS A PROMISED LAND. WE HAVE BECOME A PEOPLE UNWILLING TO WORK AND SACRIFICE FOR THE BLESSING PROMISED. WE HAVE BECOME A PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT JUST BECAUSE BY ACCIDENT OF BIRTH WE WERE BORN IN THIS GREAT LAND WE ARE ENTITLED TO A FREE RIDE.

WE NO LONGER APPRECIATE THE SACRIFICES OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS AND MOTHER'S, WE NO LONGER HONOR THOSE WHO HAVE AND DO GIVE UP THEIR LIVES IN DEFENSE OF THE GOD GIVEN LIBERTIES OF THIS COUNTRY. FOR THE MOST PART JOHN KENNEDY'S "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY," IS A BUNCH OF SWEAR WORDS.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME SO AFRAID OF LOSING POWER THAT THEY ATTEMPT OFFER ENTITLEMENT AND INSTANT GRATIFICATION BY GOING INTO DEBT TO GIVE, GIVE, GIVE TO THOSE WHO SIT AT THE BEGGARS TABLE.

WHEN INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND GOVERNMENTS GO INTO UNWARRANTED DEBT, FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES ARE COMPROMISED AND DIMINISHED. INTEREST NEVER SLEEPS, IT WORKS DAY AND NIGHT SUCKING AWAY OUR ENERGY, SELF-DETERMINATION AND SELF-ESTEEM.

LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS ARE DIMINISHED BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT RAISES TAXES TO HELP PAY THE HUGE INTEREST ON THE INCURRED DEBT. THUS, THE FEW ARE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE ENTITLEMENTS GIVEN TO THE MASSES AND THUS HAVE LESS WITH WHICH TO PURSUE THEIR OWN CONSTITUTIONALLY AND GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.

AMERICA CURRENTLY IS FISCALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND MORALLY BANKRUPT AND THE BALLOON PAYMENT IS RAPIDLY COMING DUE,
