Of Government and Men: An Introduction

On Sunday, I am going to introduce a new series here at Political Friends: Of Government and Men. This series is intended to explore my fundamental beliefs on government in general and our government here in the United States specifically. This is a series I have wanted to do for some time, and I am very excited to finally be putting this out. I plan on exploring some of these topics in detail so the size of these articles may tend to be a little longer. Here is my current list of topics I plan on exploring:


I. The Nature of Freedom


II. The Role of God in a Free Society



III.The U. S. Constitution


IV. The Tenth Amendment


V. Term Limits


VI. Government Spending and Taxes


VII. Personal Accountability


VIII. Industry + Profit = Good


I may expand out this list based on feedback I get from this post and from each of the posts in the series. I also want to allow space to continue to cover current events and other issues that might pop up. Because of that, I will be releasing one post from this series each week, most likely on Sunday. You will be able to easily identify them, and I am going to link them all together with hyperlinks. If you are really interested in this series, I would encourage you to sign up for my RSS feed, or become a fan on facebook. Both options are displayed in the upper right hand corner of this website.



I hope to accomplish a number of goals with this series. First, these posts, as with the rest of this site, are meant to encourage debate. I hope that as you read them, you will gain more insight into my thought process, you might find something you didn't know, and might look at something in a different light. Some of these topics should be reviewed by any voter from time to time to help them remember how our government works, and how it should work. How can we discuss healthcare, taxes, or energy without a proper frame for the responsibilities of our government, and our own responsibilities?

Nope, but I do enjoy reading about feminism, and could be convinced to write a post after this about it if your interested. Here is the last womens issue's type post I wrote. It is probably time to explore the topic again.

You should read Jim DeMint's "Saving Freedon, Stopping America's Slide into Socialism". From the post of yours I have read you would enjoy it. Very much in line with our Judeo-Christian, freedom viewpoints.
