The Honorable Kenny E. Marchant
1110 Longworth House Office Building
United States House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Marchant:
Please tell me you understand the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, target shooting or personal safety.
Please tell me you believe our government is every bit as capable of subjugating the American people as any government in the history of mankind.
Please tell me you understand that our nation is one natural cataclysmic event or economic calamity from lawlessness and martial law.
Please tell me you believe the best defense against a tyrannical government and lawlessness is an armed citizenry.
Please tell me you reject simplistic, reactionary solutions to complex and troubling issues.
Please tell me you embrace the power of enduring principles over the path of least resistance and self-promotion.
Respectfully,
Bill Monroe

Embrace the Successful
The highest of all wage and income earners are unquestionably the most essential element of capitalism and free markets. It is impossible to have a robust middle-class and a vibrant economy without them -- period, end of discussion! While there may be aspects of this socio-economic group that we despise and disdain, to demonize and decry their success is tantamount to committing economic suicide. Taking the bad with the good is simply a law of nature -- eliminating the bad serves only to eliminate the good.
If you’re able-bodied and not one of our wealthier citizens, too bad, get over it! Your present status has nothing to do with the circumstances and events of your life or the actions of other persons. Acknowledge that you are where you are through the choices you alone have made. Your DNA might not contain the drive, passion, ambition or work ethic necessary to excel at, well, anything. Nevertheless, that reality doesn’t entitle you to quit, bemoan the success of others, or become a ward of the state. Or, your passion may have directed you to a calling for which the financial rewards are limited at best. Again, too bad, embrace your choices and seek the joy and happiness found in fulfillment of a dream. But please don’t despise others simply because their dreams don’t look like yours.
