In the year of our Lord 1776, a Nation was constructed upon a foundation of Freedom. Freedom from Kings and Queens, Freedom of religion, and Freedom from unlawful taxation. In our Constitution our Fore Fathers stated that ” People” have certain unalienable rights. Rights that were given to us from our Creator, for all men and woman. This includes all Religions, Races and Creeds.

Our Nation was still is divided on this concept of Rights. Not even the Civil War was able to end the debate on Freedom of Religion, and Freedom for all Races and Creeds. Men and Women have sacrificed their lives to live Free. Joseph Smith for Religion, Martin Luther King Jr. for Race, and Woman activists for Gender. Still today we fight for Race, Religion, and Sexuality.

With all the Wars that have been fought, all the lives that have been taken, and all the hatred that permeates from leaders of our Religions, and Government. Tolerance seems to be an unachievable goal for a Nation built upon Freedom for all.  Why is there so much hatred and guile for our fellow men and woman, brothers and sisters, and Americans? If we knew the answer I think we would have a solution. Government passes laws to combat this turmoil, Religion quote passages of scripture in all denominations. Still there seems to be no ability to create Peace.

Is Peace just another term for faith, things hoped for with the evidence of things unseen? I believe it all stems from the universal sin of Pride. There is no need to be prideful. Confidence Yes, but not pride. Tolerance is not acceptance!! We must be tolerant of peoples choices, but we do not have to accept them for ourselves. Obviously when it comes to things criminal there is zero acceptance.  For Religious or Sexual preferance, we have the freedom to choose as long as the law allows us that choice.

As we come to end of another year let us all make number One on our list of New year Resolutions to be more tolerant of those you do not hold our same views in Religion, Politics and who to root for on any given Saturday or Sunday, and sometimes Monday. I know for myself I will be more tolerant of peoples choices and ideologies, that does not mean I have to incorperate them for myslef or my family. Let us all Stand a little taller and be filled with more love and kindness.

Early in my Blogging adventures I Posted about Heath Care. I also wrote a paper for a Political Science class on Heath Care. Universal Heath care Does not and will not work. Obama wants us all to just get behind him on heath care reform, just because he took over the country during the worst economic time since 1929. Obama blames the previous administration for all of the countries problems. This blame game does two things for Obama.

First it allows him some room to borrow 1/3rd of the worth of our economy from China.  Second to use a scare tactic so that the American people will not question Obama’s policies. USA Today had an article this week about Universal Health Care and Massachusetts. For those who do not know, Massachusetts was the first to launch this policy. It covers the Pro’s and Con’s of only have 2.67% of the state uninsured. The Con’s include, Emergency rooms full to capacity and they have to turn patients away. Doctors not making as much. This is one issue that I see becoming the worst thing. We all know how understaffed the medical field is and to provide this huge influx could be detrimental.

I am not saying that the medical field is perfect. I work in this field and it is no where near. Capitalism has been and is always the answer.  Free markets are why despite our turmoil now our economy will rebound through innovation and productivity. Obama needs to consider all possibilities and not rush reformation, by using socialistic principle that time and time again show they don’t work.
