Commentaries by Gen LaGreca
Jefferson was looking out for you.
Each April 13, every American should raise a glass to toast
the farmer, architect, scholar, revolutionary and American
president born this date in 1743: Thomas Jefferson. One of
our greatest founding fathers, Jefferson lovingly crafted
much of the government and character of his precious gem,
America. He penned numerous documents extolling the
revolutionary ideas of his time, including the stirring
words on the parchment that is the soul of America, the
Declaration of Independence. Yet how many of our current
citizens
–
and elected officials
–
truly understand its meaning?

The
Self-Help Guide to Living in a Free Society (As featured
on The Glenn Beck Show on CNN Headline News): Too
many Americans are losing the ability to take care of
themselves and are instead looking for the government to run
their lives for them . . . Too many Americans seem willing
to replace the life of the proud American eagle, flying
alone and free, with that of a hapless chicken penned in a
coop waiting to be fed. . . . To combat this affliction, we
need a "Self-Help Guide to Living in a Free
Society." It might read something like this . . .
“The
New Individualist” magazine is offering a free
copy of its
March 2008 issue, containing Gen
LaGreca's article, “The Self-Help Guide to Living
in a Free Society,” featured on the Glenn Beck Show. Call

Daniel
Boone vs. the Nanny State: Oct.
22 marks the anniversary of the birth of an American icon:
Daniel Boone. Born in 1734, this death-defying adventurer
axed his way through the Appalachian Mountains to settle
Kentucky and open the Western frontier. Stamped across his
rock-hard life is the trademark of America: the pioneer
spirit to cross new frontiers and control one's destiny.
Back then, America was formed to set people free to run
their own lives. Today, our vastly expanded Nanny State
looks after us. Is this a good thing?

Universal
Healthcare Is What's Sicko. Michael
Moore says he made the film "Sicko" to
"ignite a fire for free, universal health care." .
. . People like Moore believe capitalism is the disease and
government takeover the cure for our health care ills. They
think people have a "right" to free health care
simply because they need it. If so, why stop at medicine?
Couldn't we claim the same "right" to other
necessities? Take food, for instance. What if the government
seized control of the food industry and fed us for free with
a new entitlement, "Foodcare"?

The
Declaration of Independence 2007. It’s
time for all Americans to recall the ideals of our country
as expressed by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of
Independence. The following is a new version of the
Declaration, updated to reflect the current usurpations and
threats we face. It is an urgent call for our
representatives to fulfill the promise of America envisioned
by our Founders and for We, the People, to insist that they
do.
