America is one hell of a country, one hell of a place. There has never been anything like it in world history and it is because of freedom. I liked Ross Perot back in the day, but I have never paid much attention to American elections until this time with Trump and this time I think I have understood what it is all about, what makes America such a great place and that is a simple and precious thing - freedom. I have learned more about America and what makes America great by listening to Ben Carson and Trump and Cruz and following the debates and political discussions in that great country.
I want the principles that made America great and rich and prosperous to endure and spread across the planet so that people across the world can share that freedom. I now understand even more why I am a conservative and believe in common sense conservatism because it is that what has created the freedom and prosperity that America was built on in my opinion. I hope Trump wins and we get a bit of common sense conservatism over here as well. I think that Saul Alinsky and his "rules for radicals" that Hillary admired when she was young are not good for the freedom and prosperity of the world. I hope billionaire capitalist entrepreneurTrump defeats the "rules for radicals" crowd and spreads prosperity and freedom across the world by his example.
"America is a unique country, founded on the principle that we are endowed with “certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Yet today, through taxes and regulations, government takes half of what each American earns. Government regulates what goods and services entrepreneurs can offer consumers, and restricts consumer freedom to buy many goods from other countries. Politicians currently are trying to restrict or ban what we can smoke, where we can use our cell phones, what we can view on the Internet, and which fattening foods we can eat.
How is it that the people of a country dedicated to freedom put up with such restrictions from political elites? Do Americans still value freedom?"
