My Open Letter To Governor Perry

Governor Perry In the recent Primary I voted for you believing that you were the most likely of the three Republican candidates to stand up for our Texas on the basis of the 10th ammendment to U.S. Constitution against a healthcare takeover. Today Governor Perry you said the following; "There are things in that bill that are probably good, but the bad outweighs the good by a substantial margin." In all honesty sir I found your statement to be somewhat disheartening for those of us that love Liberty above all else! Mr. Governor from the time of Christ have not all Tyrants thrown the peasents something 'good' amidst deception and despotism?

In 1776 a small band of brothers declared their Independence from a king who considered them a collective too stupid to govern themselves. In reading Mr. Jefferson's list of the king's grievances I discovered that many of the founder's complaints were strikingly similiar to our complaints of President Obama. Today Mr. Jefferson's words ring true; "He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance...Imposing Taxes on us without our Consent..." Mr. Governor, I like every other Texan with whom I speak am tired of 'measured respnses'. The 'measured response' is the answer for the summertime patriot.

Thank you for listening;
Sincerely,
Chad Hague of
Flint Texas

While the health care debate rages on into it's fifth month a challenge presents itself to those who claim to be conservative.

As a pro-life conservative I have become increasingly annoyed with christian conservatives who embrace the sanctity of life but are indifferent to all other issues. As if children have nothing better to do but exist. So once the children are born is it acceptable to subject them to a life of involuntary servitude to an all powerful state? If the 'health care takeover bill' did not include universal access to abortion (which it most certainly does), the bill would still be unacceptable.

I can hear 'God-fearing conservatives' discussing a candidate; "He's for redistribution of wealth, well I really don't mind much because those folks don't need that much money! Is he pro life?" A politician in favor of stealing from one individual and giving to another is not worth supporting regardless of where he stands on abortion. Taxation without representation is stealing and should be treated as a cultural issue just as preserving the life of the unborn.

Yes we should still fight passionately on behalf of the unborn but let us not forget that a life lived in slavery is hardly worth living. Here are some words from Patrick Henry;

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
