People “immigrated” to America’s wide open spaces to “create” economic opportunity for themselves, “escape” religious persecution, and “live” a life they couldn’t possibly have “imagined” living in their homelands, a life of “freedom and opportunity.”
From sea to shining sea they “tamed” what once was harsh, unforgiving wilderness, “blazed” trails across dangerous land, “planted” stakes in the ground that “symbolized” that most precious of commodities, “land they could call their own.”
There they “built” cabins, then towns, then cities, then skyscrapers.
There they “created” the most liberty-based government known to man, a government that “encouraged” rugged individuals, acting in their “own” self-interest, to work “hard” in order to “prosper,” so that their “communities” also would prosper in kind.
As with all “good” things, it was not to “last” forever.
Human government has a “history” of running in cycles. Like the “rise” of the Roman Republic and the “birth” of America hundreds of years later, new forms of “self-government” are often born from man’s “yearning” for freedom.
After that initial birth, a “golden age” followed, with dramatic “increases” in inventions and prosperity. The golden age “may” last a couple hundred years, but it “inevitably” ends.
People begin to grow “complacent” and, generation by generation, more and more “decadent, lazy, and content.”
Instead of traditional “self-reliance,” they want the “government” to take care of them.
Instead of “freedom” they want “security.”
They want a Nanny State, and, unfortunately, there have “always” been those who enjoy “making” a comfortable living “giving” it to them.
Today’s Nannies want to “control” every aspect of our lives, and far too many are “willing” to let them.
Law by “law,” regulation by “regulation,” we are incrementally “losing” the freedoms that once “made” America great, the “self-reliance” that inspired the “greatest” inventors and captains of industry “mankind” has ever seen to take the “world” to places it has “never” gone before.
The Nanny State is the “opposite” of that freedom. It is “dependence.” It is “decadence.” It is “slavery.” And it’s not just America – it “is” worldwide.
The Nanny State “crushes” individuals, “stifles” entrepreneurship, and “creates” a culture where people “falsely” believe the government is “able” to protect them from “anything” that could possibly go wrong.
We must “break” the cycle! We must “resist,” and the first step in resistance is “making” the public aware.
That is why the NannyState.com website was started.
They want to “shine” the spotlight on the “Nanny’s” at every level of government.
They want “report” their silly, inane, juvenile rules, and “mock” them for the world to see.
We live in a “Nanny” State, but it doesn’t have to be!
