Today, I will write about the importance of "property rights" of the individual in America and how small things can harm you. This is a response to reports of Mr. Obama's comments on "tiny Iran" and about how "we cannot eat what we want, keep our thermostats at 72, and drive our SUV's.
First I would like to say that gluttony has its price. As personal concept of not over indulging, I am in agreement. Societies that indulge perish. Look at the no-longer existing Roman Empire. Towards their end there was sexing all over the place and eating and drinking like the stuff was free.
However, as a concept of American government imposing limits on American citizens, I am in complete disagreement. If you have not figured it out by now, I am a taxi driver in stupid el Paso, Texas. Let me tell you why I call this city stupid. Though I am a self-employed person working in private industry, the communist government of the city of El Paso, Texas sets the taxi fare rates.
I think this in strict violation of the principal of "individual property rights" that built this country. In America, Americans should no fear that their government is going to show up one day and steal their property. The reason people build stores and start companies is because of the assurance that government will not take their property. When private citizens with investment capital build business they employ people and the American economy grows. People who fear government stealing their property do not build business.
Now, do I think with his statement about "we cannot eat what we want...", that Mr. Obama was voicing a policy initiative to impose restrictions on people's property rights or take people's property rights? Yes, I do believe that if elected Mr. Obama will start policy initiatives to restrict people in what they eat, warm and cool their homes, and drive.
Therefore, Mr Obama is preparing to violate one of America's crucial principals, which is the rights of the property owner. You do not as a candidate for the American presidency speak on issues unless you plan to propose policy initiatives. We know that from listening to Obama he is not happy with the status quo in America and wants to effect change. The only way government can control what people eat and how much fuel they use is controlling their property, i.e money, homes, and vehicles.
Now as far as Iran is concerned, it may be smaller but very dangerous. As a an official government, I ran will not declare war on the US. The US would respond with fierce force.
Iran, however, has a puppet government it presents to the world and a behind the scene government that controls the country. This secret government would orchestra and follow through on terrorist attacks on America.
Mr. Obama's mocking words in his speech (Iran is tiny) do not make Iran benign. World wide radical terrorist number in the millions. Every single one of these radicals is prepared to die for their ideology.
I think that because Obama cannot see the threat of Iran and has no concept of the contribution the constitutional protection of property rights has made to the construction of the greatest nation on the face of the planet he is not fit for service as president of the US.
