Yes, welcome. The rise of faith in freedom is quickening. Every day I encounter more and more people interested in a turn back toward small government, economic freedom, and a humble foreign policy.

I think that since the death of Ezra Taft Benson, new converts to the Church have not had the principles of freedom so strikingly presented before them by our General Authorities. But that is no matter, they are finding these things as explicitly spoken of in our Standard Works as they were in any one of Marion G. Romney's, or David O. McKay's talks.

What has come as usual to the benefit of freedom is the technological advancement of the freedom of speech which in our case is: the internet. The converts to the Church today will be able to access information on the Church and our leaders and history in an unprecedented fashion. The information age is no friend to despots and harborers of tyranny.

More and more people both LDS and non are starting to learn about monetary theory, the inflation tax, and the fundamental problems with such enormous government intervention in the free market. They are starting to question the real advantages of the increasing efforts of government to redistribute wealth according to bureaucratic planning which is so obviously influenced by the most wealthy. They are beginning to ask from whom and to whom the wealthy wish to redistribute wealth and by what means they intended to do it.

The seeming lack of difference between Republican and Democrat efforts have the country going into apathy followed by a new desire for real change. As America has not lived without the control of members of the CFR, and in fact having lived under the presidency of nothing but two CFR families (Bush and Clinton, even the Reagan era had a Bush in the Presidency) for almost three decades, people are really hoping to see something new.

With Obama, there is hope for change, but we are getting a repeat of Reagan's seeming newness which amounted to yet another round of leadership from the same elites sitting in new positions at the game of musical chairs. The realization of which however is more widespread because of the internet.

I have high hopes for the upcoming generation. They are faced with being born into a country that has already committed them to pay more than half of their life's earnings in taxes. Most of them have no inheritance but debt and national morality is in shambles. They are starting to look around and wonder where there is really any progress. And as they look at history and speak to their elders, they don't buy the false presentation of an America once being a nation of slaves living in poverty and working in conditions of absolute filth and mortal danger under the falsehoods of phony religion and superstition having been saved only by fabian socialism. Rather, they see a tremendous departure from despotism and the evils attached thereto followed by one attack on liberty after another which has brought us far from the path of freedom. The great reformation of American Freedom is upon us.

Welcome to the Revolution.

LOL claims I am a liberal but my personal view is we either have no government or that government should look after us properly.

I believe that government should be responsible for welfare of its people, but I do not agree with giving up freedoms like having to carry ID etc
