Reason, What the Obamacommies forgot

Is it a flash of self awareness that ensures we do not forget humanity's ultimate goal? What answers are mankind searching so desperately for? Perhaps it is the feeling that our government is simply unable to function in a rational manner. That the answers are posited before the questions are formed and we are advised that thinking about the question is not the way to approach the problem, and that instead we should just be able to "feel" the answer is right regardless of the question.

Reason and logic must be the guide to determining somethings validity. We are after all the top of the food chain, the ultimate predator. Reason, when applied, dictates that we live our lives unencumbered by having to "feel" whether or not we are paying homage to the "social consciousness". Reason using beings strive to live their lives in a way which maximizes our return on investment without encroaching on another persons right to do so ,and to do that without force towards another reasoned being. Reasoned beings should ever strive to be free of any system which has as it's highest moral principle, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his NEED".

We must escape from the inconsistency in our own moral contexts which provide us with no end of conflicts. Escape from being led down a path where our reason conflicts with the public demand that we "feel with our hearts" what is good. Feel what and for whom.

Reason demands that we act consistent with our nature as human beings. Emotion or feeling demands that we often disregard our nature altogether. Reason posits that absolutes exist and are inviolable. Feelings claim that everything is subjective and in a grey area.

In this time of great debate about the direction of this country and the freedom's which are being systematically removed, reason is far more valuable a resource than one's feelings. Just because we "feel" bad for those with real health care and insurance issues, does not mean that we all should give up our freedom's in this area to fix their problem. Reason tells me that what is being proposed and promoted in an emotional way is antithetical to the liberty that I desire. Pressure your members of congress to do a better job than they have. After all, when reason was applied to this health care bill many of us were dismissed and called names. The American public deserves better from Washington.
