While reading an article on a web site I stumbled onto called Ace of Spades HQ, posted by no less than ACE, I was reminded of a similar rant of mine where I complained about the Democrat whining about Republican hindrance. Ace’s article corrects people who think President Obama is the anti-Christ. The article is interesting and I encourage you to read it, but he summed it up by saying, “Satan would not be such a [screw] up.” http://ace.mu.nu/archives/297344.php My original point was that is must be horrible to be a liberal/progressive/collectivist with things going so badly. Occasionally I comment about how they tend to eat each other when in charge. Part of the reason is that they each think that their own issue is the only important one but the principles they insist further their interests actually hinder the agenda of other liberal/progressive/collectivists. How is related to President Obama not qualifying as the antichrist? They are both explained by the idea behind the phrase, “We hold these truths to be self evident.” Well they did it, in the middle of the night, while we slept. I say “they”, I don’t know how to say more correctly, “WE THE PEOPLE”. Our Congress agreed to end debate on 300 pages of replacing amendments which few have read, and no one seems able to explain. “There are 100 senators here and I don’t know that there’s a senator that doesn’t have something in this bill that isn’t important to them,” Reid said. “If they don’t have something in it important to them then it doesn’t speak well of them. That’s what legislation’s all about,” Reid said of the compromises. “It’s the art of compromise.” – Harry Reid.

Lest we forget that the modern “Progressive” movement wants to take us backwards to the systems we had prior to our independence . . . this is a cartoon, reportedly from 1948 making fun of the very things we are discussing now. The human race has been discussing them as long as [...] What does it mean to have a right? How is it different than a privilege? In the simplest terms, a right is something that exists regardless of the actions of others regardless of location. You have the right to speak your mind, even if there is no one listening, even if the government [...] First, there are going to be some changes coming and I hope you like them. For example, I know that some of you have trouble seeing the small print I have been using, and I hope this one makes it easier for all of us to read. Second, thank you for your support here. I am heartened by people who challenge me but still continue to receive these emails. Even the likes of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson had friends who rolled their eyes in disagreements with them. Sometimes they prevailed in changing minds, on both sides. So, thank you again. Speaking of the founders, why did they choose a gold standard for our dollar? Why did they decide on limited government? Why did they form a constitutional republic instead of the other options available and debated? Because they knew that good intentions do not good outcomes make. They had as a guiding principle that people help people, that people produce wealth that can be used to help people. Government cannot do these things. They debated principles, not desires. There did not exist an example of what we now enjoy, but what liberals/progressives/socialists/etc., preach as superior, were common, as they are now. They chose to try the principled approach of building a better mouse trap to trapping mice, instead of the centrally planned mouse-eradication-and-child health-education-security-program. They were right. We lead the world as a result. |
