"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!" The famous words of the late president John F. Kennedy, much different from the verbiage you hear coming from the spouts of modern day Democrats. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas* recently was quoted as saying, "The message today seems more like ask not what you can do for yourselves or your country, but what your country must do for you." What ever happened to our message of liberty? How has our country been so polluted by this mentality of entitlement? These are questions I hear on a very regular basis, now a days everyone feels as though the government owes it to them to provide for their every need. But why is this? I don't believe there is any one person or event that we can point our fingers at but I can tell you now that the Obama administration and most of Washington are not helping the cause of smaller government. There isn't a Democrat politician alive today who would give a speech like JFK's January 20th 1961, Inaugural Address. In fact there are few Republicans who give speeches and have voting records that promote the three tenants we as Conservatives hold so dear. Small government, free markets, individual liberties and thus in the words of Ann Raynd, "We are now moving forward into complete collectivism or socialism, a system under which everybody is enslaved to everybody."
