Just a little food for thought. Stumbling around the internet I came across this:
“Our Republic was never created to be a leveler of men. It was created to be a lifter, a developer of men.
Our Republic was created to let the gifted, the energetic, and the creative rise to new heights of achievement, and to let each man find his own level on the stairway of existence.
Our Republic was created to encourage men to meet their personal responsibilities and to shirk no public duties. That is why our people have always been concerned about the honest needs of their fellow citizens, the chief of these needs being liberty, justice, and opportunity.
Our Republic demands that the nation be governed by the capable, the honorable, the far-seeing, the clear-seeing, and not by mediocre men. In the beginning it was so. May it be so again!
Our Republic demands more from men than any other system in the realm of self-discipline, dependability, cooperativeness, industry, thrift, and honor. For anyone to foster class consciousness, class conflict, misrepresentation, covetousness, violence, theft, and an open defiance of established law – even when done ‘legally’ – is to breed anarchy and tyranny.
Our Republic was not designed to interfere with the unalienable right of its people to be masters of their own destinies.
Our Republic was established to make men free!”
