The 4th

Ayn Rand said it best. "Hands off! ( to government). I say second best is to believe that ‘God helps those who help themselves.’ Ranking third this Independence Day should be the goal to let the laissez- faire capitalism of a free market economy work. In these media-manipulated times, facts rarely compete with the fictions of political propagandizing. In 2008, survival does belong to the fittest person, group (or race), but even a fitter person, group or race will do well if he or she can penetrate the veil of liberal lies hiding beneficial truths. One truth, for example, is that Rush Limbaugh would not be paid $400 million dollars over an 8 year contract ($40 million a year), if his employer did not think him worth the investment. Their goal being profit, Clear Channel Communications must know that if the government’s hands remain off the radio airways and the pubic remains free to choose, the people will vote to listen to and patronize a "loveable little fuzzball," alias a conservative leader, who preaches self-reliance, freedom, optimism, American exceptionalism and goodness, entrepreneurial thinking and perseverence. His success validates a free market at work. A fourth piece of advice to remember on the 4th of July, is that the American system of rugged individualism still lives. Today it’s too often more ragged than rugged, but it still lives. Long may its banner wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
