What are we doing?

Government in the small and virtue from all.

To fix the world, we don't have to be perfect, just decent.

Note:  Current version can be found here: http://www.TheSocietyProject.org

This blueprint is not associated with any Political Party.   In fact we feel Powerful Parties and factions are destructive to representative government as did George Washington in his farewell speech.

 

Our goal is fundamental Restoration not Transformation of  the original limited government led by George Washington.

Transformation has led to the growth of  a huge, powerful and rich government that since 1913 is dedicated to stealing our wealth, empowering corrupt politicians and forcing us to comply with their whims.

The mechanism for stealing our wealth is the progressive Income Tax  (Why the theft not the love of money is the root of all evil) and indirectly the Federal Reserve which falsifies weights and measures in commerce (by diluting the value of our money) that appears to us as inflation.

Through tax breaks government controls our behavior and with social programs creates a dependent class of over half the people to assure the votes they need to stay in power and continue the theft. 

To end this parasitical government structure (which we will call a Socialist Democracy) before it bankrupts us and consumes all our liberty we must remove the abusive power from the Federal government and it's agencies and throw out all Socialist values, systems and policies which sacrifice the individual for the "good" of the group. 
We must restore our free market (The Intelligent free market) and original, limited government system based on individual rights and responsibilities as laid out in our founding documents.

‎"The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin." - Mark Twain 

Let's cure all our problems by cutting off their root -  the abusive power of the Federal government and it's unlimited funding via taxation and control of our currency.

--> What Steps To Take.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to Restore America to its Foundational Values and Constitutionally Limited Government. 
We present the blueprint for restoring America to a more local and limited Government that is funded and directed from the bottom up not the top down. 
  
This corrects the moral hazard of easy and unlimited funds that sustains corruption in government.

Foundational American Values are no longer self evident as they were to Americans in 1776.   

Therefore we present America's foundational values (principles, ethics, morals) and the standards on which our society was built, against which all individual and government behavior can and must be judged. (sometimes referred to as "Rule of Law" vs. Rule of Men).    

Hate, prejudice and other evils are Socialized into people. 
People are trained by their culture and peers to be Neo-Nazis, Islamic Jihadists and Socialist victims.  Moral hazards such as welfare, housing projects, entitlement mentality, government granted rights, government charity, Debt, lack of personal responsibility, dependency on government, Central planning, excess political power, direct taxation of the people, Bureaucracy, regulation of the free economy, nonsensical regulations etc. create a slippery slope for people to slide into criminality.

Only adherence to Foundational American Values prevents behavior and character from being corrupted!

We outline both short and long term goals and the steps needed to achieve them.

Government in the small leads to justice for all.   Government in the large leads to a tyranny in charge.  

Power Corrupts.  The only way to remove corruption is to remove the power not the individual politician.  Otherwise, we will "Meet the new boss same as the old boss" - The Who.

• Money -  Eliminate the mechanisms for government theft.   Taxation of wealth, debt financing, printing money which causes inflation and a bankrupt currency backed only by debt not a real commodity such as gold and silver. 

• Control - No taxation of wealth means no IRS, no lobbyists and no control through exemptions.  Eliminate Executive branch regulatory agencies and restore lawmaking to Congress.  Restore States Power and fund government from the bottom up not through unconstitutional direct taxation. 

• Our voice - Restore representation of the people not representation of a party or faction. 

• Be Informed - We have a century of propaganda (renamed Public Relations) to overcome. 

• Cork the bottle- The government is not a genie to grant all our wishes.  The constitution is supposed to bind it for all time and must not be interpreted otherwise.

BE AWARE - Systems that allow a powerful government can not be fixed!   The Systems must be removed and the government controlled. 

Get beyond changing Politicians and tinkering with the current large governmental systems to restoration of Limited Constitutional Government as contracted by our founders.  

In our two party system there is no Elephant and Donkey, just Bull 

Campaign pretense of Democrats and RINOs (Republican in name only).

The purpose of government is to control and protect us from that which we as individuals can not control such as military and criminal threats.   To be a free American and maintain liberty we the people must be self governed and self-controlled by our Foundational American Values (FAV) or the Government will exert even greater control and rule over us in a tyranny. 

People help people, Governments help themselves. 

The Politicians and bureaucrats who run the government are just as flawed and greedy as the rest of us.   The greedy in government do not protect us from greed, they merely monopolize it.    

 "What the mind of man can conceive, and believe, the mind of man can achieve."
-Napoleon Hill

Yes we can, if we imagine the "impossible" and make a plan.  
- The Society Project

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Until Politicians recognize our country's Foundational American Values as their contract, a good first step is to give Politicians a Contract from America. 

1. Protect the Constitution
2. Reject Cap & Trade
3. Demand a Balanced Budget
4. Enact Fundamental Tax Reform
5. Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally Limited Government
6. End Runaway Government Spending
7. De-fund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care
8. Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy
9. Stop the Pork
10. Stop the Tax Hikes

But there is a lot more that needs to be done, so please read on...

It is time to Choose.

It is time to choose whether our actions and government will be motivated by mindful love that celebrates achievement or by primitive fear and jealousy that seeks to tear everything down. 

We are Right and they are Wrong - The Wilkow Majority

To the Socialist this statement sounds abhorent and discriminatory.  Right is determined by who is the victim not some absolute morality. However this type of affirmation can be helpful in combating the confusion caused by Socialist propaganda/hypnosis that is so prevalent in the USA.

See: Am I in a trance?

We are inundated by movies, news, politics, print and digital media, education and thousands of regulations, laws and policies based on Socialist philosophy that have been foisted on the country.

Socialist philosophy as well as Radical Islamic/ Jihadist/Islamist philosophy is antithetical and dangerous to the foundational principles, ethics, morality and responsibilties of our society.  Socialism and Islamism are destructive, tyranical philosophies that take away individual freedom and destroy any semblance of a Foundational American society. 

It is either Foundational American or their philosophy!! 

It is impossible to mix ours with theirs without the individuals of the USA declining in wealth and character and eventually destroying our economy and society. 

We must choose between the blessing and the curse so to speak.  Choosing our way leads to life.  Choosing Radical Islam or Socialism does not.

The struggle to abolish our servitude to Socialism is akin to what we went through in abolishing Slavery.  Imagining life without Slavery required an extraordinary effort. The same reasons that led to inertia and resistance to abolition then, are present today in respect to our Socialist policies.  10 reasons why Slavery took so long to abolish.  We did it then and we can still do it now.

Socialists and Islamists are not swayed by Foundational American Values and neither should we be swayed by theirs. 

Although we are taught not to reject anyone based on their beliefs and that it is wrong to discriminate, please realize that is a Socialist philosophy.  We must be able to use our faculties of discrimination to weed out what is right for us from what is wrong.

In any case, Foundational American values do not reject the individual Muslim or Socialist but we must reject their philosophy and skewed (From our perspective) beliefs. 

It is a war for the survival of the great United States Social experiment and we have already surrendered too much.  This is a call to wake up from the hypnotic trance they create through propaganda and the media and take back the USA. Victory is returning the USA to its foundational values and throwing out all Socialist values and systems. 

"Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
-- Abraham Lincoln

Foundational American Values

You who are on the road must have a code that you can live by... Teach your children well. - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Individual Human Beings form a society to magnify what they can accomplish as individuals.

The purpose of society is to maximize the amount of freedom for each individual while maintaining their safety and security.

For society to function and support the highest quality of life for it's members there must be an agreement between it's individuals to observe a common foundation of individual rights, responsibilities, principles, morality and a code of ethics.

Government, consisting of individuals given power by individuals, must be constrained and it's decisions informed, by this common foundation.

This common foundation outlines the boundries which shape our society. Without the boundry of our skin we couldn’t live. Without the boundries of time and space we could not exist. Without boundries society can not function.

Our society's foundation documents are the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States.

The founding documents are based on, but only partially codified the society's ["Judeo-Christian"] morals, ethics, principles and responsibilities. These were considered general knowledge and self evident during the Founder's time.

This lack of explicitness has made it easier for Politicians, Educators, Media and "Judges" to lead our country adrift with policies and education based on the foreign "morality" of Socialism, Enviromentalism, Racism, Atheism, moral relativism, Darwinism, Humanism, Islamism and other societal systems based on elitist government control of supposedly unworthy or inferior individuals. This is antithetical to the survival of our society and it's economy. We have moved from the middle balance toward Tyranny on the left.

We therefore believe it is timely and proper to clarify and codify the common foundation necessary for our United States Society with explanations, ramifications and prescriptions for remedying current problems and overcoming obstacles.

Individuals are endowed with rights and presented with a set of responsibilties by a Transcendent authority and power, referred to as the Creator in our Declaration of Independence. No human being is superior or inferior in endowment of these rights and responsibilities. Individual's rights and responsibilities are not subject to abrogation by any other power or authority such as government.

The purpose of government is to secure each person's endowed rights and allow the free excercise of individual responsibility which develops the character and virtue necessary for self-control and independence.

In contrast Socialist Philosophy presuposes an anarchy of predators and victims until a government creates the protective framework of law and law enforcement in which the group - civil and human - rights can be granted. Individuals do not have self control, they must be controlled.

Individual rights are inalienable insofar as we acknowledge a Higher Authority and Power thaat endows them. Even though we come to this realization through Spiritual practice and by respecting Natural Law, Government is not to impose any Theist or Atheist Religion, set of practices, moralities, code of ethics, responsiblities, laws, legislation, standards, regulations, policies or interferences to the individual's liberty and freedom of choice in any way unless agreed upon in the foundational documents and in line with the principles upon which they are based (e.g. Israelite Society as outlined in the original Hebrew Documents of Moses).

The following rights and responsibilities are necessary for a functioning society and healthy and free individuals.

Individual Human Beings(1) have transcendent and inalienable rights, among which but not limited to, are the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, ownership/stewardship, free speech and free will.

Responsibility is essential to Rights.
Rights can only be manifested if supported, preserved and maintained by the cooperation of responsible individuals and the society they form. Equal rights require Equal and reciprocal responsibilities. To preserve your right to life your neighbor must not kill you and you must not kill them. A military is formed from pooling your resources and efforts to protect everyone from outside threats to life which you as an individual are not powerful or skilled enough to accomplish. To protect your right to free speech your neighbor must not censor you and you must not censor them. Rights are balanced and safely bounded by responsibility. For instance, you don't speak words that incite to kill or harm your neighbor physically and Police formed from pooling your resources and efforts are charged with restraining an individual by force, law or penalty.


Individual Human Beings have the responsibility to:
Manage Power and Authority. Since the source of Human rights and responsibilities is transcendent, do not elevate or give undue credence to any other power or authority or their symbols, rituals and propaganda. As well, your safety and security does not rely on Powers and Authorities such as a King, Dictator, Strongman, Great Leader or Big Government. Depending on any of those always results in tyranny, slavery, loss of character, crime and poverty.

Respect Liberty. Taxation without representation is Slavery. A person's wealth is the outcome of their Liberty to choose and investment of their time (Life). Forced taking of Life and Liberty or the results thereof (Property) is Slavery.

Government in the small and equal justice for all. Only local government has a chance at being intelligent enough to be compassionate, balanced, effective, accountable and as least corrupt as possible.

Respect ownership. Property is a person's Life and Liberty invested. Refrain from direct theft or indirect theft through falsifying weights and measures. (2)
Protect yourself and others from theft.
Own up to the consequences of your actions and stop pointing the finger of responsibility at everyone else.

Respect Stewardship. You the individual and no one else is the steward for the wealth you own. The responsibility of your stewardship is to provide Social Balance/Charity. (3)
Society may not usurp your responsibility by stealing and "re-distributing" your wealth .

Manage Jealousy and feeling entitled. You are not entitled to your neighbor's spouse, house, property, family or any aspect of their lives you didn't earn yourself. Don't let these feelings cause theft, racism, adultery or over consumption (the need to keep up with your neighbors). Socialism preys on jealousy of unequal wealth and outcomes.

Do not adulterate your values with foreign ones. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Be vigilant to teach your children FAV, practice FAV in all your endevours and see through the invalid promises and propaganda of other philosophies.

Judge yourself fairly. It's OK to be you. You were created this way for a reason. Compare only to yourself not to others when judging your own worth and success. Then you will not have a need to put yourself or others down. (4)

Know and Love yourself and direct your caring (not your judgement) to your neighbors. Before you can fix the world you must be OK with yourself and take care of your family and local community. Inner Peace-> Family Harmony-> neighborhood, State, Country, and only then World Peace.
We even have this encoded in the word Kind. Take care of your Kinder (Kids), Kin (extended family), Kind (larger groups of similar people), Human Kind (entire group).

Treat your neighbors as equals. Express kindness directly and not through layers of bureaucracy where it becomes a relationship of superiority and dependence.

Respect Truth. Refrain from lying as a witness against your neighbor or lying to yourself through self-delusion and rationalization. Do not use deceptive language.
Complete Truth is essential to live in Wholeness/Peace. (5)


Respect Human life. Do not murder or allow yourself or others to be murdered (killing in self defense or defense of your neighbor is not murder it is life saving).
Do not murder reputations through gossip, rumor or lies.

Respect all other life. Protect animals in a reasonable way from cruelty and reasonably protect their habitat in a manner balanced by Human needs. (6)
Maintain a reasonable stewardship of our Planet's environment balanced by and weighted towards Human needs.
(Do not elevate other powers or authority by worshiping the Earth/Gaia, environment or animals).

Reflection and connection. Respect, remember and nourish reflection and a connection with the transcendent in your daily life and by devoting one day a week or a weekend to family, community building and this pursuit instead of work.
Develop sensitivity to transcendent guidance in your endeavors.

Respecting Truth and Stewardship:
Think things through. Explore all the ramifications of personal action and government decisions, legislation, laws and regulations.
Accountability. Government is not immune from liability, Legislators and Regulators should be accountable and responsible for consequences of the laws they create and vote on.
Feedback and follow up is essential for correction of decisions. All govermental actions should be followed up and results reported and evaluated. If there are unseen consequences that violate the bounds of the rights and responsibilites then the decisons , law or regulation must be corrected immediately.

Created Equal but not the same. All humans have equal endowed rights and responsibility to protect and ensure those endowed rights. There are no classes of humans with superior or inferior endowed rights and responsibilities.

All Human beings have equal value and worth but every individual is different. Individuals are not equal in talent, looks, intelligence, ability etc. It is their individual right to liberty not to be forced to be the same as anyone else or to be forced to have equal outcomes with anyone else.

Individuals have equal right to ownership but not to equal wealth.

Demanding Equal results in wealth is a function of Jealousy and unrealistically, lazily and petulantly ignores the entire life, circumstances and effort that was the price paid for the wealth. If you want something another has, you must be that other person and go through all that they have gone through.

If you want to be a great violinist then you must put in the ten thousand hours of practice and performance time to develop the knowledge, muscle skill, memory, musical pattern recognition, maturity and skill to express your talent.

Jealousy of a violinist will not make you a violinist. Legislation will not make you a violinist.

Life is not fair or balanced and that is as it should be. It is up to the individual to attain the character and wealth to be able to make the balance corrections not the courts or government short circuiting the process through theft or the fiat of a ruling, regulation or law.

Impartial Judges
People are equal in the eyes of the court but are unequal in talent, looks, health etc. Unequal people are treated equally without favoritism.

Justice is blind. Judges are impartial arbiters who do not favor the poor or the rich, the liberal or the conservative, the religious or the atheist, the Socialist or the Capitalist, nor the Man or the Woman. Since Socialism arises from immature human emotions its judgment is one-sided. By Definition a judge must not favor any side. Since Socialists must always side with the victim they do not qualify as Judges.

A so called "Activist" Judge is not a Judge at all. They are usurpers of legislative authority. A judge is not a lawmaker. Changes to the law and interpretation of the law comes from the people and the legislators not the Judges! A Judge may participate in the debate but the legislators and the people decide.

Government laws, regulations and decisions are to be guided and bounded by the foundational rights and responsibilities.

Balance - Virtues do not function on their own. One or more other virtues or principles must also be considered before action. For instance safety is balanced by happiness. The decision to close down all ski resorts due to safety must be tempered by allowing the happiness of skiing. Charity is balanced by the right of ownership and protection against theft. We don't steal to obtain money for charity. Society conducting charity violates Society's responsibility of Justice. Justice shows no favoritism and does not favor rich over poor. The Free market is by it's nature unequal. It rewards merit. Evening it out causes everyone to be poor and is antithetical to charity.

Charity is an individual responsibility to balance inequity and calamity and is balanced by truth and prudence.

Do not do to others what is hateful. - Hillel
First do no harm. - Hippocratic oath
The Rights which tell people what not to do to you are the most important.

Our assumptions are more accurate if they come from a conciousness of supply not lack. No prediction of disaster due to overpopulation, alleged dwindling of resources, pollution or any negative assesment of our future has been correct. We have and we will overcome any challenge through our proven ingenuity and ability to access an infinite source of knowledge coming from our connection to the trancendent.

However we also have a large capacity for self-delusion and must be on guard for groups which use unquestionable authority, propaganda and brainwashing techniques to instill false beliefs that lead to perversions of morality e.g. perverted charity in the form of Socialism, perverted self-defense rationalizations justifying Terrorism, perverted longing for connection to the divine justifying conversion or death, perverted morality that leads to controlling people "For their own good" etc..

Attempting to control individuals from a central authority as in Monarchy, Dictatorship, State Religion and all forms of collectivism such as Socialism and Communism abrogates the individual's free will to choose what is best for them and what their responsibility to others shall be.

Group "rights" originate from it's individuals therefore individual rights supersede the rights of a group. Civil authority must yield to individual rights and responsibilities.

Human beings are never property even in indentured servitude, jail (temporary lockup) or prison (Long term incarceration).

(1) A Human Being is defined as a living organic organism made of Human DNA (with reasonable genetic modification). Anything not organic such as machines, artificial intelligence etc. is not a human being. Any organism genetically non-human such as animals, fish, plants etc. even if modified to contain some human DNA is not a human being.
(2) Taking from one to give to another is direct theft. Socialism is theft. Progressive taxation is theft. Inflation through government control of money supply is indirect theft.
(3) Social Balance and Charity is providing opportunity and education for others to earn wealth and emergency needs of food clothing shelter and medical attention.
(4) Manifestations include racial, ethnic, lifetyle, gender and all other slurs, bullying, gang behavior, name calling, gossip, backstabbing etc.
(5) How is truth ascertained. The original language word for truth, Emmet, consists of the first middle and last letter of the original language alphabet (Aleph Mem Taf). Truth is comprehensive and not partial. The complete truth is discerned through an open mind that is not lying to itself or rationalizing. A mind that can pay attention to all opinions, viewpoints, propaganda slants, and media bias without emphasis on one aspect that hides another. In schools and in daily life, not lying to ourselves and finding out all aspects and facts leads to wholeness in our perceptions, decisions and character through which we can come to Peace/Completeness. The relationship between Peace and Wholeness is keyed into the original language (Called Edenic or Proto-Semitic). The root SLM forms the word ShaLoM which means Peace. ShaLaiM from the same root means Wholeness. FYI the Hebrew Shalom, Arabic Saalam, English Salem/Solemn/So Long/Serene come from the same root.

The Socialist/Group Philosophy

Socialism is but the latest, more benevolent sounding name for the Collectivist philosophy that holds the group to be more important than the individual.  And that the people need the protection of a strong, powerful Government. 

The root cause is Fear.  A fear of inadequacy against a stronger power. 
A fear of criminals, a god, Emperor, King, Army, Satan, Hell, Corporations, corruption or even merely the abstraction of Evil or evil people that a person can't stand against.  The fear prompts a person to seek a stronger power to protect themselves.   Thus the alignment with and servitude to what ever power or authority people deemed to be strong enough to protect them from what is essentially the boogeyman.  
Today's illusion is that a central government is needed to protect us from selfish and corrupt coporations and people.

Only the realization that all earthly power and authority is a reflection of and weaker than the one trancendence frees us from the need to protect ourselves through dependence and servitude to gods, kings or the earthly power of big Government.   A slave is safe with a powerful master.  However the transcendence endows us with Life, Liberty, free will and purpose which allows us to psychologically overcome the false servitude and dependence on earthly power and authority and stand on our own as masters of our own destiny. 

We as a people don't have to be perfect, just decent enough to keep the need for government control to a minimum.

The main purpose of Socialist society is to make life safe and "fair and equal" for the victimized.   This philosophy comes naturally to most people as it is a projection of their own struggle.  Most people feel victimized, blame others, shy away from taking responsibility for their lives, feel powerless, feel that life is not fair and want revenge and play the game of one upsmanship.

This group or collective philosophy is also the foundation of Dictatorship, Theocracy, Communism, Fascism and National Socialism (Nazi).  It is also known as Left Wing, Progressive and even Liberal (A word usurped by the Progressives which used to mean individual liberty).

The Socialist philosophy divides the world into the evil Oppressor that has power, dominance and wealth and the weak, powerless Oppressed who are victims that are being kept down. 

The Government is the only entity powerful enough to protect the Oppressed against the Oppressor and equalize the powerful and the rich with those who are weak and poor.  The bigger, wealthier and more powerful the Government becomes the more society can be equalized. 

Contrast this with Foundational American Values where the responsibility for balance is on the individual and the small community either of family, location or ethnicity.
Motivation for charity is love directed to your fellow human that you see as equal to yourself.

Socialism is not about Love or caring.  It is about not feeling inferior.  It is characterized by disdain.  Disdain and dehumanization for whomever they are stealing from and for those that do not agree with them; disdain and pity for the victim they are helping and feeling superior to and finally the disdainful voice inside them that must constantly be negated with posturings of Superiority via put downs, sarcasm, hatred and anger.

For the Socialist, big government is always viewed as benevolent.  Even a tyrannical government is preferable to letting the poor victims go unprotected.  Socialist policies therefore always favor more government control and less individual freedom or responsibility. 

Socialist reality consists of groups; the Rich, the poor, the middle class, the underclass, the uninsured, labor, management, civilians, military industrial complex, corporations, non profits, non govermental organizations, Europe, America etc.

There is no individual responsibility for those in a lesser circumstance. They are "victims" and it would be immoral to hold them responsible for being victimized. Socialist policies therefore ignore individual responsibility as a factor and do not see the consequences of irresponsibility in their policies.

All individual outcomes need to be equalized to be fair. Those with more should yield their wealth to those with less.

Businesses must give up their profit and "rich" individuals their income.   Rich people and powerful corporations are Opressors and can't be trusted to help the poor oppressed. The government has to forcibly "re-distribute" their wealth and change the playing field of the free market to make sure the oppressed classes have equal results.  Black people must have affirmative action and Red people must have casinos. Poor farmers must be subsidized etc.

Only Socialist governments which foster equality are not oppressors. America which is still 60% capitalist is evil and must be torn down until it is all Socialist.

Animals and the planet are victims of the more powerful Humanity and must be protected from humans by the government even if it means giving up a hospital to preserve the habitat of a flea.  It is humanity's duty to give up their habitat because they are the opressor.

The Socialist always sides with the "Victim" and ignores reality, facts and common sense. 
We all should get along. No one should be greater than another. No country dominant. All results equal.

Unless for self defense of a direct attack, Military forces are oppressive. If you are not directly attacked or helping a country that has been directly attacked, going to war is Oppressive and evil.

Belief in God and Religion is a tool used by the Opressors to keep the victims sedated and calm ("Religion is the Opiate of the masses") so they don't rise up and revolt.   Religon is therefore exploitative.

Are you content with this fear based mentality that now controls the USA?

Socialist philosophy on taxes

In the Constitution, Federal taxes are for services performed for the general welfare such as the military. The taxes are levied on the States and apportioned by the amount of representation the State has in the Federal Government.

In Socialist philosophy taxes are for equalizing wealth and power and are apportioned based on the amount of profit a business makes or the amount of income an individual earns. 

Profit is looked upon as taking advantage of the consumer and an unfair taking of wealth.

It's not fair to be rich while others are poor.  It's not fair to be powerful while others are weak.   Hence they tax profit and minimize success. 

Our tax system is purely socialist.   In fact the terminology used when an entity is tax-exempt is a non-profit.

What Steps to take.

Note: Fundamental American Values is abbreviated as FAV.

The first and foremost is to unlearn the Socialist Philosophy and measure virtue according to the standard of FAV. 
Hopefully this blog will help.

Why FAV must be taught before society can change.

Teach Foundational American Values in civics classes so that all citizens know and understand their rights and responsibilities and what constitutes proper government.
Teach how FAV is different from Socialism and Islamism. Change the curiccula of our schools from Socialist indoctrination to individual achievement, Positive thinking, success principles and practicing virtue. Let the fastest help the slowest rather than handicapping the fastest.  Teach true history rather than Politically Correct Socialist/Atheist fiction. 

Stop throwing out the baby with the bathwater when it comes to Religion.  Judeo/Christian values are not the same as Religious Rituals.  No Religious rituals may be imposed however to be a free American and maintain liberty we the people must be self governed and self-controlled or the Government will control and rule over us in a tyranny.

Second - Repeal the 16th Ammendment that allowed Congress to steal your wealth and re-allocate it according to Socialist ideals and to control your lives through tax exemptions and rules.

Eliminate the IRS.
Eliminate all taxes except at consumption time.   All people pay the same percentage under this system and all consumers pay tax.  For more information on the Fair Tax proposal: http://www.fairtax.org/  I disagree with their pre-bate on the principle that the poor are our individual and small community responsibility and must be supported by individual and community not the federal government which is based on theft.

Take a look at all the hidden taxes you are paying to the Socialists in government. The Socialist Pick Pocket

Restore State's Power.  Funding for the Federal government should go back to the original Constitution's method.  Funding coming from the States based on their proportion of representation in the Federal government and from some tariffs.

Financial support for the states comes from a flat consumption tax only on new goods with no exemptions and applicable to everyone, since everyone uses the state services. State services should only be for what is used by everyone in the state such as roads, state police...

Restore the original Constitutional appointment of Senators by the State legislatures to represent the interests of the States.  Individuals are already represented in the House of Representatives (hence the name.  lol).

Set Term limits even temporarily so Politicians aren't beholden to special interest money and have less time to become corrupted.  This will eliminate the game of Seniority that keeps the same corrupt Politicians in office. For more details see: Here Piggy Piggy

The party system has to go.  Parties consolidate too much power, money and control and legislate for their issues not the people's.  Parties foster a "Team" mentality that divides people and encourages them to vote for their "Team" to win rather than on the issues of their community.

Eliminate all Socialist victim based, do-gooder, government largesse "social" programs and give them back to voluntary charity or the local community.
One example of charity through individuals Network For Good.

Social Services at the Community level from local charitable contributions or if necessary local taxes billed to the home. Perhaps a manager for each community hired through local funds?

The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.  LOL. Do you have a better solution than this one given by William Shakespeare?  What's wrong with Lawyers is Socialist Laws.  Loser pays will eliminate many frivolous and harrasing lawsuits.  Raise the bar (Pun intended) for when a lawsuit is allowed to be brought.  Think through all ramifications and create case law precedence before enacting legislation. 

Re-evaluate and Restructure all Laws based on FAV.  And teach Lawyers FAV.  FAV case law precedence already exists in 60 volumes called the Talmud.

Make legislators Respect Truth and Stewardship by adding accountability and legal liability.  Legislators will have to think things through, vet all legislation through computer and business analysts to spot hidden flaws and consequences and do proper follow up and correction through feedback.

Add an option to choose none of the candidates in an election. If 51% vote "None" then new candidates must be chosen for a re-vote.

Give the President a line item veto. Better yet all bills should contain only one item. No more hiding pork inside thousand page documents of legalese.
Eliminate inefficiency and waste so the government needs less money.

Create a stable currency. A Federal Reserve that controls rates and the supply of money interferes with the free market.  FDIC supported by the banks to prevent runs on the banks makes sense but might not be necessary with a stable currency.


Military accounting and oversight. Stop supporting the Egyptian and other military.

Regulatory authority to the States not the Federal government?

Healthcare -  no one dies through lack of coverage.   Health professionals, clinics and hospitals will not refuse treatment if a life is in danger.  Compensation can come later from insurance, donation or just be writen off by all involved.  What about excessive pricing and freeloaders who claim not to have the funds but do.  Eliminate Artificial prices by taking government intervention away.  Remove price and wage controls and restore the ability of the Doctor to charge the market rate even if that is a LOWER rate for those that are poor.

Remove Government coverage requirements.  Restore the ability of insurance companies to offer less expensive policies that cover less.  Allow all competition across states and from foreign sources. 

Kuai we don't need the government

A great example of  Why we don't need the government when our local communities can do the job without the massive theft and waste of the Government.

A Kuai community completed repair work that the State government said would take two million dollars and four years in 8 DAYS with volunteers at NO COST TO TAXPAYERS.

Socialism is Anti-Semitism and Anti-American

"The great error of contemporary social thought is that poverty must result from “discrimination” or “exploitation.” Because Jews tend to be overrepresented at the pinnacles of excellence, a dogmatic belief that nature favors equal outcomes fosters hostility to capitalism and leads inexorably to anti-Semitism." - George Gilder

A simple test
"The [Israel] test can be summarized by a few questions: What is your attitude toward people who excel you in the creation of wealth or in other accomplishments? Do you aspire to their excellence or do you seethe at it? Do you admire and celebrate exceptional achievement or do you impugn it and seek to tear it down?" - George Gilder

Socialists believe that by you enriching yourself you are taking something away from them.  There is a limited supply of wealth and you are hogging your share.  They are angry at exellence and will tear down those who excel - Jews and Americans who live by Foundational American Values.

Contrasting Philosophies - The Middle East

Israel and the Jews
To the Socialist, powerful Countries are always oppressors or Occupiers.  When little Israel was up against the powerful Arab countries that surrounded it, the Socialist world sided with poor weak Israel. However when Israel's military in 1967 proved to be more powerful than they thought, Israel's status changed in the eyes of the Socialist. Taking advantage of this Socialist blind spot, the powerful Islamic countries who fund and support the terrorists hide behind the facade of "Palestinian refugees" so that Israel stays more powerful by comparison and loses the Socialist World's support as the Oppressor.
The saying one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter is a Socialist view. That is why Hitler had to create propaganda that made the Jews seem to be in control of the world and it's wealth. If so , the Jews were Powerful and Germany the weak victim. Thus it was morally justified to beat up, exclude, deport and ultimately kill the Jews.

According to Foundational American Values (FAV), we see the "Palestinians" as they are; brainwashed Islamic Fundamentalists who are wrong because they are using terrorism to kill innocents and wish to commit genocide on all Jews and destroy Israel.  It is immoral and there is no excuse based on supposed victimhood.  Israel is our ally and the only free country in the Middle East. We defend our allies. 

Why is the word Terrorism not used in the Media?
If Homicide Bombers are on the weaker side then they are considered by the Socialist Philosophy to be using the only means available to fight their more powerful enemy (by definition an opressor).  They are morally excused for blowing up innocent Israeli Women and children because they are oppressed and are merely fighting the power.
That's why the Socialist Media will not refer to them as Terrorists.  In their judgement they are only freedom fighters.   However when the military of a powerful country fights back and there are civilian casualties (even if held as human shields) that country is called Terrorist. Eg The USA in Iraq and Afghanistan or Israel in Gaza.

Why we butt heads on the Solution to Islamic Terrorism
Foundational Americans understand that Islamic Terrorism is motivated solely by the Terrorist's religious beliefs.  Islamic Terrorists are trained and conditioned to believe Islam is the only true religion and that all non Muslims must convert, submit to Muslim rule and pay tribute - if they believe in one G-d - or die.   So called "Radical" Islam justifies mass murder of even women and children as self defense.  All land conquered by Muslims is Muslim land forever.  Any other people on the land are trespassing and invading and so are not to be considered innocent but rather as soldiers.  Violating treaties, lying, prostitution, imprisonment, drugs, child porn and abuse, kidnapping, torture, rape, dismemberment, mass murder and any heinous crime is justified as long as it furthers Islam.  The ends justify the means.

In Socialist philosophy there is no such thing as Islamic Terrorism.  The Socialist views what we call terrorists as poor oppressed people fighting for land, freedom or rights who would stop fighting if only we provide economic opportunity and build roads and schools. They do not perceive that Islamic terrorists are not poor and consider dying to be martyrdom and a quick way to Paradise. What they want is not prosperity but rather conversion to Islam and world dominance.

The FAV solution is to defeat their religion, change their regime and morality and maintain superior power.  And the same solution applies to Islamic Terrorism :-)

Contrasting Philosophies

Bias, Prejudice
Foundational American Values - All are treated equally 


Socialism - The Socialist philosophy is inherently biased and prejudiced towards the "vicitm" (which includes themselves). From this perspective those that treat others without bias or prejudice are biased against the victim.  In their eyes this must be due to prejudice or racism.  
Anyone not subscribing to Socialism is treated with contempt and must either be silenced and stopped by any means they can justify or they must be discredited and dismissed.   


Goals and the definition of Success and Victory
Foundational American Values - The goal is maximizing individual freedom and safety through individual rights and responsibilities.  Local government is the only intelligent government.  Government in the small or not at all. 


Socialists - The goal is equalizing individual results through total group and government control.  The victim is always right.  The rich, large or powerful are always wrong.  Our self esteem is based on having victims to protect and feel superior to. 


The Constitution
Foundational American Values - The purpose of this document is to define the boundries of our Society and limit the powers of the Federal government. 

Socialism - What's a Constitution? It's just some old piece of paper that nobody reads.  Why would anyone want to limit the government? 


Consequences - Look before you leap!
Foundational American Values - Think things through.  First do no harm. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Socialism - In almost all cases for lack of thinking about consequences, the "good" Socialism achieves is overwhelmed by the enormous amount of damage it does in attaining its goal of "helping" victims (as a group of course :-).   For the
Socialist, good intentions count more than terrible results. In fact President Obama was voted for the Nobel Peace Prize only 11 days after he took office for good intentions and no results at all.
Right of way also means don't get in the way. 
Foundational American Values - Even something as simple seeming as right of way is affected by the contrasting philosophies. 

As a pedestrian you may have the right of way but you'd better be responsible enough to be alert and not get in the way or you will be run down. 

The pedestrian in a society with Foundational American Values accepts responsibility.  They keep their behavior safe.  They don't cross in the middle of the block, look both ways and cross the street when it's clear.   The driver accepts responsibility to watch out for pedestrians and modulate their speed as needed.  Both Driver and pedestrian co-exist with full liberty.

Socialism - Under Socialist values the pedestrian is in the weaker position and would be the victim in a collision with a more powerful car.   Since the pedestrian is a victim we can't expect them to have any responsibility only rights.   Under Socialist values, right of way means that Drivers of the powerful vehicles are solely responsible  to look out for pedestrians no matter what unsafe actions the pedestrain takes.

The driver can not be trusted with the power of the car and the pedestrian is not expected to exercise responsible behavior so the government has to license drivers, impose "safety" restrictions with speed bumps, speed limits, signs, crosswalks, traffic obstructions and detours, car free zones, police enforcement, tickets, fines, courts and even suspension of the driver's right to operate a motor vehicle.

Are we operating under Socialist values?  You Betcha.   The empahasis on Pedestrian responsibility is gone.

It's been 40 years since I last heard the jingle:
Don't cross the street in the middle,
in the middle, in the middle of the block.
Teach your eyes to look out

Teach your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner
Where the coast is clear
And wait, and wait,
And wait until the light turn green.


Hate Speech
Foundational American Values - Only speech that is directly inciteful to harming another physically is censored.
Harming others by insults and derogatory speech is not censored but the speaker is responsible for their consequence.  Speech out of anger requires the responsibility of asking forgiveness of the ones harmed. Defamation and Libel that causes monetary harm or harms a reputation requires monetary compensation.

Socialism - Socialists censor and punish any speech that is derogatory to those they classify as victims.  Speaking hatefully to or about an opressor is deemed necessary and even encouraged.  It is only hate speech if aimed at victims or those that help vicitms. 


Saying Death to America or Death to Bush is fine.  But if said about Obama it's treason. 
Insulting words about black (victims) race is treason.  But white race baiting and saying White boy, cracker or honkey are fine. 
Bush lied people died is fine.  "You lie" said to Obama about excluding illegal aliens from support under his health care bill is reason for censure of a Congressman.


Government Deficit Spending
Foundational American Values -  Borrow only in times of war.  Spend only on what is necessary.  Pay back in honest measure with a stable currency.

Socialism - Borrow as much as you can and pay back with more borrowed money until the Ponzi scheme is revealed.  Then Devalue your currency (print more money) and raise taxes.  If society collapses it won't be on your watch.


Use the Federal Reserve or Central Bank to exert control.

Qualification to be a Legislator

Who protects us from our "protectors"?

We rely on a series of professionals to create, evaluate and prescribe Medications which controls us from the inside.


Do we have any professionals to protect us from bad Laws, regulations and statutes that control us from the outside?

To create safe efficacious medicine Drug companies employ teams of specialists with hundreds of years of  cumulative experience in biology, genetics, chemistry and other fields related to our bodies.   They conduct hundreds of tests via simulation on a computer, animal testing and clinical trials on humans.  We have a process through the FDA that evaluates and certifies medications before they are allowed to be disseminated.  We have Doctors who evaluate our specific needs and prescribe the correct medications.  Doctors are certified and operate under the hippocratic oath of "First do no Harm".  

What code of ethics does Congress operate under?  What certification do they have? 

What qualifications are needed for those that create the laws that control our lives?

They (supposedly) represent the interest of their constituentcy.  Is that enough?

The make laws so shouldn't they be professionals in the field of law? 

Which professionals?
Lawyers, who present the law before a judge either in the role of prosecutor or defender? 
Judges who evaluate if laws are appropriate and how they apply?
Police who enforce the law?
Perhaps but that's Civil law. 

How about moral law?
What about Orthodox Rabbis?  They are experts in Talmudic Law and often fill the role of judges.
How about Priests and Imams?

And how about Tax law? 
Should they be accountants?

Laws create systems of processes.
Shouldn't they be business and software analyts?

Laws have major impact on our economy. 
Shouldn't they be economists?

How about all the other fields that the laws affect.  Agriculture, Medicine, Insurance, Military etc.

The one profession Legislators do not have to know - ask anyone - is Quality Assurance.  (LOL)

Thought experiments, public opinion polls, photo-ops and endless rhetoric are no substitues for simulation and field trials.  It is also essential to get feedback even after the law is propagated.

Lawyers

Lawyers allowed to run amok in a Socialist environment have driven up the cost of everything.

Why should a Doctor be responsible for a person that neglected their health for 50 years?  Only Socialist Philosophy that removes all responsibility from the victim and the Lawyers who sue make it so.  

 Lawyers increase Health Care costs by forcing doctors to test for everything to avoid being sued for neglect and through malpractice insurance's rising price. 

Lawyers, who represent one side and carry the Socialist Philosophy of always representing the victim into Judgeship are destroying our Constitution's boundries on government.  Judges are first Lawyers. Judges need to treat both sides equally.  The two professions seem to be at odds.  A judge who is still a Lawyer is not qualified to Judge impartially. 

President Obama is a Lawyer.  So is his wife.   They are also Socialists and community activists.

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.
Harry Reid is a lawyer.  Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

Republicans who still represent Foundational American values are business people, doctors, farmers, teachers - real people doing real work... who are often the targets of lawyers.

Lawyers fight for their client - the victim - against the opposing party.  The lawyers view is the same as the Socialist's view.  
 
Lawyers always parse language to favor their side as do Socialists.  They put down and demonize the other side as the Democrats put down and demonize Republicans.
 
Lawyers use the power of government (the legal branch) to force the opposing party to yield their wealth to their client (victim) just as the Socialist does to equalize results.

Do we limit lawyers or do we fix the laws?  Let's see what fixing the Law does.  All Laws must be re-evaluated, reconstructed or eliminated if they do not meet the criteria of FAV.

When the Communists take over, that's what they do.  Shouldn't we eliminate the Communist laws from our books?

FAQ

The people had a choice and they chose the Socialists and their values.  Now they have to live with it.
There is only the Socialist option.  The people do not know all their choices.  Education and media predominantly present Socialist values.   Democrat and Republican are also heavily influenced by Socialist values.  Only when all the citizens understand both Socialism and FAV can it be said they made a choice. 

People elect the politicians and can throw them out. 
The system is rigged so that you can't throw them out without paying a heavy price.   Because of the seniority scheme politicians set up for themselves, if you don't re-elect your representative you lose the clout to funnel money to your town, district or state.  See: Taxes - The Socialist Piggy Bank  The solution is term limits and restoring the Constitutional empowerment of the States to collect taxes and fund the Federal government rather than the other way around as it is now.  

People willingly pay income tax so it can't be stealing.
People are not willing to be penalized rather than willing to pay.  Income taxes are imposed under threat of penalty.

Are you willingly handing over your money to a robber with a gun or avoiding being killed?    If you are robbed every week by a protection racket and you pay regularly are you willing? 

If the protection racket has gone on for many generations the grandchildren may even think it's normal to pay and even believe it  is an obligation.  This was the norm under the Feudal system of peasants, Noblemen and Kings.  This is the norm under our Socialist progressive income tax system that was unconstitutional until 1913.  It required a Constitutional ammendment and the collusion of Left wing Supreme Court Justices to redefine Direct taxes as excise taxes to set the present system into place. 

All politicians claim they are telling the truth even when they are contradicting each other. How can you figure out the truth?
You need an interperter.   Politicians are not speaking the same language as you and I.  It sounds like English but the meaning of the words are changed.   They are deliberately choosing words as lawyers do, to confuse you.   They change words so that a lie sounds like the truth.  Or they redefine a lie as truth so repeating it is telling the truth.  Remember "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?  If oral sex is not considered sexual relations then Clinton could truthfully say that the charges against him are false.  You won't see a dime in tax increases doesn't mean there won't be tax increases.  It only means that you won't see them.  They will be hidden tax increases through inflation, business tax etc. 
Fox news presents both Democrats and Republicans while NBC and the networks only present the Democrat view.  So how can Democrats claim that FOX is biased?  They have redefined Fair and Balanced to mean the Democrat view.  If you don't agree with them then you are a liar and biased. If you speak up at a Town Hall then you are a Mob.  

Words like Success, goals, change, Democracy, Fair, Activist have different meanings depending on your base Philosophy.   

Who will protect labor from the sweat shop employer, big faceless corporations and other opressors if not the government?
The people have a lot more power than the government credits them with.  We have community shunning and displeasure with the owners employees and stockholders, protests, Negative media exposure, boycotts, stock divesture by mutual funds, the internet, watchdog groups and greater competition for workers if the government butts out. 


Isn't morality relative.  Why are your morals better than mine or no morals at all?
Morality is a code of conduct within society.  All societies even animal ones have a code of conduct and indeed must for their society to function.   The function of morality is not relative.  The code of conduct of a giraffe society may be no better or worse than one for a lion society from an outside perspective but is of utmost relevance from within those two societies. 

Morality is constructed based on the purpose or foundation of the society.  Judgement of better or worse morality is based on comparing the results of the morality to the purpose and foundation of your society.   Ours is the sanctity of life based on a trancendent authority and power and maximizing individual freedom while also maximizing living together in peace and unity. 

Islamic society's purpose for example is to convert the world to their Religion.  Their morality and code of conduct justify any action even ones we would find morally reprehensible based on the goals of our society. 

Our judgement of morality is relative not morality itself.   Better or worse are the relative terms.   That's true however we must discern and exercise our judgement and decide which morals create a society that wwe want to live in.   Judgement isn't always correct.  A sociopath or addicts judgement is skewed and morality is not observed.   Do y that they can murder their pleasure or addiction is

Why do we need this? 
To balance safety and freedom.
Let's say you are walking in a crosswalk across a 4 way street.  The people driving the cars to either side of you are stopped obeying a red light.  The cars trying to turn and enter the intersection are stopped because you have the right of way.  Have you ever stopped to consider that the Right of Way is based on the principle of preserving life and that the drivers are stopped because they are being moral?   Without principles and standards of morality you would be run down and killed.    

How can you be against [insert social program] it's for the children?
At the expense of massive debt that we saddle our children with paying.  

You are despicable if you don't support [insert social program].  You have no compassion or humanity.
Government programs are Protection Rackets or Ponzi schemes.  A Protection Racket extorts money from you for Protection from the extortionists themeselves. The solution is to get rid of the extortionists.  The government program caused or excacerbated the problem it is treating and is taking advantage of your sense of compassion and humanity to defraud you of your wealth and freedom of choice.   The solution is to withdraw all support for the Government Protection Racket.


Isn't Capitalism evil?
It is Socialist government collusion to game the free market system that is Evil.  The free market system itself, when not interfered with, can not take advantage of anyone as its power is decentralized.  Socialism dictates the market and is the cause of the suffering and evil ascribed to Capitalism.

What's the advantage of a free market?

Disadvantages?

Socialism is compassionate?

Contrast Socialism to Free market.

What about those big corporations?
In collusion with government they create regulations that effectively give themselves a monopoly or at least knock out their competition.  Government regulation influenced by special interests is the problem.  The answer is to remove the need for lobbyists and special interests by taking away taxing authority from the Federal Government and putting it back into the hands of the States as the constitution specified before the 16th ammendment.  Competition must be protected.

What about Consumer Affairs?  Who will be the consumer's advocate if not the government?
Consumer affairs is a job for Judges and their staff not a state beaurucracy. Government enforces the law.  An impartial Judge must decide before enforcement is called in.

Legislation

In order to create case law and precedence, scenarios based on all permutations of laws, rules and regulations (no matter how unlikely in reality) should be thought through and ruled upon. 

Discrimination

Don't discriminate solely on race, religion, gender, sexual lifestyle, medical condition etc.

Howcver do discriminate on merit, talent and values and even any of the above if it is proven to be essential and relevant.

There is no right to equal opportunity or outcome.  Opportunity and outcomes can never be equal since they are based on unequal circumstances and merits which is the right of an individual. 

For example 10 gay men with active AIDS are refused as nurses. Even though we wouldn't discriminate because they are gay we do reject them for the position because they have AIDS and are a danger to the patients.

10 white men are rejected from a Harlem women's dance troop. Not because they are white but because they are male and gender discrimination is relevant.

Let's use our brains and good judgement in our laws and leave room at the local level to make case by case decisions.

The Morality of it all

The defintion of Charity is a combination of Charity and Justice
http://www.aish.com/ci/be/48969431.html

Socialized Medicine removes incentives for Doctors, therefore less Doctors, longer waiting for care and greater incentive to waste the Doctor's time with ""Free"visits for every little sniffle. That is also true in our health care system.

Bottom line more deaths. First and prime rule is to save life. If an incentive based free market system works better at saving lives then that's the one to choose.

It is the Doctor's responsibility to provide for saving lives and a minimum of care to those that can't pay for the Doctor's time. The Doctor is the judge not government or insurance companies.


A minimum of Food and shelter to save lives is the responsibility of the individual and the (Local) community. Welfare is immoral. It abrogates the individual's responsibility to take care of themselves and their family.
Individual and by extension community responsibility for providing temporary housing is moral. Welfare housing projects that lead to drugs, crime and death are horribly immoral. Long term welfare is immoral. People need to work.
Providing opportunity for a person to make a living is the highest form of charity. Small business is the engine of innovation, jobs and growth. Therefore nurturing small business is an obligation of society. Regulations that favor big business or are too expensive for small business to comply with are immoral. Government Jobs are welfare since they are wholly paid for by charity. They are unproductive in that they do not create wealth. Some minimum of support infrastructure is necessary for Society but it should not be forgotten that the salary comes from the people and the people are the boss. We hire Police and Military. There is also a component of service in saving lives and preventing harm. The obligation is just like the Doctor. We pay them for their time that could be spent in other occupations but their service is their personal obligation.

Business taxes are immoral.

Have confidence that social ills will be cured by people at the local level not forced through theft and re-distribution, wage/price controls and subsidies.

Providing for the disabled is moral and should be done through insurance. Social Security is not insurance as long as the Federal government uses the funds and substitutes IOUs A trust fund used for disability is to be used for the benefit of society and to increase the trust funds wealth. (in the form of secure loaning of the money?). It is not for government "projects"

The spectrum of what constitutes disability must be defined, reasonable and not become too broad.

Pensions?

Law. Protect life. Murderers are put to death. Violent criminals are either rehabilitated, confined for life or put to death. At least two witnesses and certain proof beyond a reasonable doubt are mandatory. It should be very difficult to sentence anyone to death but the sentence must then be carried out swiftly. Damages are to be paid by the criminal. The value of limbs, injuries etc. A murderer can not compensate for the life they took rather they must take on that person's obligations or be put to death as a danger to society.

Prisons that allow rape, violence by inmates and guards are immoral. A person, even a criminal or murderer is not property of the state.

War Policy. - Must ask if invading a country saves more lives than not invading.

Civilian casualties - Give warning and allow civilians to escape. After warning time if any civilians remain it is the moral responsibility of the enemy that kept them there.

The flow of funding is from the State to the Federal government and not vice versa. If states want to help each other that is their perogative.

The Federal government may not impose a religion or secular set of practices, rituals or beliefs other than what is laid out in the Constitution (new limits must be put in) or that unreasonably interfere with a person's religion. This affects any Federal mandate for Education, Busing, tax breaks which control a person's behavior, control of any States and their right to mix

(Domestic Partnership a Federal issue not state issue?) The Federal Government should not issue marriage certificates/license but rather domestic partnership agreements recognized by all states. The Federal Government has legal authority not religious authority and using the terminology 'marriage' for both is misleading and even can be viewed as the State imposing a religion. Marriage is a moral and religious contract between the individuals who live together and their religious authority. The word Divorce however may be applied to domestic partnerships. For all legal/official business the word partnership would be used? e.g. Partnered single Divorced The reality is people live together in various combinations and need legal authority for disposition of assets and inheritance.
Why do we need Govt contracts for domestic partnership? Keep track of the children? Assets for divorce?
Can we have a default for all contracts if we make contracts voluntary? For instance on death assets go to children and living mother or father.

 Sex for sale? - It is there and people want it.  Do you continue to close your eyes to it?  License and regulate the sex workers?

Marijuana? -  Smokers license like a drivers license?  Research and develop derivatives. Research successes and problems of Dutch legalization.

unsanctioned immigration?  without federal wage and price controls does the situation resolve?  If not then worker's permits and registration?

Citizenship?

Education standards - free markets vs socialism, Social ethics,

The reason for the incredibly high cost of education is government subsidies that change the free market pricing.   Government Subsidies are given out based on formulas that kick in only when Education become too expensive.   So the incentive is to keep Education too expensive.  There is no incentive or intelligence of the free market to price education properly.  Is it moral to load debt on to Children who don't qualify for subsidies?   Even an interest free loan goes to artificially overpriced education.  And it's not the so called rich that overpay.  It's the middle class and the not well connected who pay through the nose.

Censorship - belongs in the home.  Take this power away from Government otherwise they will eventually  censor all dissent against socialism and tyranny.  All radios and tvs can have channel block.  If you don't want it it should be up to you not the government.  It's too late anyway with the Internet.  Don't let the government get regulatory censorship power over it too. 
The ethics of not murdering reputations should inform censorship and the media.  Excesses of Libel and Slander make the parties liable for damages.

Ready or Not?

The people of the United States saw themselves as the new Israelites and spent the years before 1776 proving to themselves that they were not just slaves to the King and were ready for self government.  Were they content to be slaves who merely followed orders and did not have to make their own decisions?  Would they be able to handle freedom, responsibility and the necessity of making their own decisons?


They practiced the principles of directing their love to their neighbors and to the stranger among them. They rose above covetousness (action based on Jealousy) and practiced the common foundation for government based on the Anglo-Saxons and the Israelites. 

In Exodus 18:21 the qualifications and structure of government are laid out. Pick able people who are sensitive to the trancendent influence; who live by truth and have matured and risen above the motivations and actions based on Jealousy. Appoint these people to be governors and impartial (not "activist") judges of thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. At each level, they would judge without favoritism and handle all the small problems and only the largest would be handled by Moses the most connected to the transcendent. Government in the small and equality of judgement for all.

Bass Ackwards - Make up your mind then investigate

People with wisdom first investigate facts and then make up their minds.

Most people first make up their minds and then investigate the facts.

We are built to resist the physical disturbance of changing our minds.   This influence is so strong that we twist facts to fit our preconceived notions.  The is why prejudice continues until the next generation is educated differently.  We create the outer reality based on our inner image of reality.

For the last Century we have been programmed to believe the leftist vision of group rights.  We have been taught that individual rights are selfish and outdated.  We have been taught to fear, deride or ignore any source of contrary ideas to our leftist group.

Whatever our inner mindset is will determine how flexible we are to creating an outer reality that fits the Foundational American model.

A basis of FAV for our inner reality is necessary for maintaining an outer reality of the same.

FAV is the best platform we have thus far found for self-government.
