America is struggling to maintain our economic health, dignity and confidence. We therefore need to make a renewed commitment, a covenant, to return to the virtues of the American way of life. A majority are upset with the direction America is headed. Many think the US has fallen off track because of overly liberal or morally corrupt leadership. The notion we must become like Europe and accept an under-performing economy, welfare lifestyles, a reduction in military might, and huge growth in bureaucracy outrages many. As well it should! For the government exists for our benefit and protection. Contra, we do not owe government the duty of living as mindless automatons feeding its ever- increasing expansion and might.
