THE ROAD TO END RHODEMAP RI
The Threat
Article by Ellen Kenner
BIG GOVERNMENT CANDIDATES & POLITICANS
What political environment is good for your life and happiness?
For peace and security in our country?
For your health?
For your child or grandkid’s ability to flourish?
For business and the economy to be liberated again?
What offers you the widest opportunity to enjoy your life?
You may think-- freedom--as so many who risked their lives to arrive on our shores did.
According to the big government candidates and politicians, such as Gina Raimondo, such questions are off track. What is on track? Saving the global community. Yes, surprise! Big government IS CONVINCED it has the solutions to save RI, the United States, and toss in--the planet.
But what about your personal, individual freedom, your liberty to make your own choices, to forge your own career, to grow and to succeed?
Big government candidates and politicians insinuate that you are selfish for thinking that you have individual rights. They say you’re selfish--
-
for wanting good things for yourself, your kids, your family, your neighbors.
-
for wanting a nice home in the suburbs, with lovely well-watered lawns and some privacy.
-
for wanting a car that uses gas--when you could use a bike.
-
for wanting to warm (or cool) your home, using more than your “share” of electricity.
-
for wanting freedom of choice for YOUR child’s education.
-
for wanting to build a business and climb the ladder of entrepreneurial success without a spider’s web of bureaucratic red tape
You are extremely selfish, greedy, and immoral, if you are honest, creative, productive and highly successful and want to happily enjoy your success.
Why?
Because, according to the big government types, we must “save the planet”! We need “social equity”! We need “diversity”! We need to stop climate change!
Nonsense! You may think. This is just blather from a fringe group of radicals.
Better sit down.
These radicals have stealthily run RI into the ground--and they’ve seduced and misled many good citizens and businesspeople, and perhaps some better politicians, to drink the Kool-Aid. They are on a mission--and they think you can be easily duped. What poison are these big government candidates and pushing on you?
Introducing--Rhode Map RI
This is allegedly a plan to fix RI’s woes. Really? Have you read it? Do you know where this plan comes from? Most Rhode Islander’s don’t know that this is the RI version of a very broad plan for Obama and his ilk (on both the left and the right) to control the economy, housing, transportation, land ownership, energy, water, the food production and supply, your healthcare--to control YOU.
Have you heard any of the buzzwords of this agenda?
-
Smart Growth
-
New Urbanism, Urban growth boundaries
-
Redevelopment Areas, mixed-use re-zoning
-
Social equity, social engineering
-
Wild lands programs
-
Affordable housing
-
Community oriented policing
-
Climate change
-
Green (fill in the blank--green loans, green renewable energy. . .)
-
Progressive-“progressing” beyond the principles of our Founding Fathers,
-
Sustainable living
-
Diversity
-
Mandatory volunteering
-
Carbon footprint, carbon credit brokers
-
General Plan maps
-
Visioning meetings, A new “consensus”
-
Transit Villages
-
Complete streets, Bike Coalitions (as opposed to driving cars)
-
Transformative conversations, hope and change
-
Outcome based Education
Some RI politicians and candidates might come to mind when you hear these buzzwords. Remember who they are. If you are for freedom, for the happiness of your loved ones and other US citizens, if you are a fan of the U.S. Constitution, limited government, the free market, then these big government candidates and politicians who are promoting Rhode Map RI are NOT your allies. They do not value you, the individual; they claim to value the global community, that is, the “collective”--and their philosophy is communitarianism.
More on that ahead.
Think again.
