The below article was in response to a letter in my local newspaper, The Mansfield Gazette, Mansfield Pennsylvania. I had wrotten a letter to the eidtor and used the work lack of backbone to those who would rather receive handouts, then work and fight for the children of this great nation, the United States of America.
Mr. James Tutak gave his honest response. However, I disagree with his opinion, as I am sure many will disagree with mine.

Mr. James Tutak, the word I should have used was courage. It takes a great deal of courage to tell another to stop giving you money and freebies because you wish to be independent, work, and earn the things ou want in life.
As to why so many citizens voted for Obama and the Democratic Party; could it be due to having become lazy and would rather sit back and collect taxpayer’s money than go search for a job that may only pay the minimum wage? After all, with welfare, food stamps and hospitalization some believe they make more than if working day in and day out, or so many believe, I fear.
The Mansfield Tea Party stands for two things to protect this nation and its citizens; the Constitution, and the freedoms that this great document has awarded us. If we relinquish these two valuable items, then the USA will become like Hitler’s Germany, Iran, Iraqi, and other countries that rule with an iron fist. Our children will grow up only to know that they must obey or else face the consequences.
I realize the above is a drastic statement, but many citizens will not vote because they believe it does not matter, no one listens and that all politicians lie. Do you not think that many citizens in the Middle East feel the same way, therby refse to fight fo their own country and lives?
The parents in the Middle East teach their children to believe those in power are not to be questioned. I fear that many of America’s children are learning this too. Years ago, I often heard the following quote, “The apple does not fall far from the tree”. What children see and hear so they will follow.
When we stop fighting for this great nation then all of us in the United States of America are doomed and free no more.
