LIBERALS ARE LOST SOULS-CLUELESS AND DRIFTING THROUGH LIFE

Yesterday on the Star Parker thread, we had a seminar poster with the handle of “pojento418” shows up, and posted this drivel:

“Please explain to me what it means to have "God Given Rights". How do we know what those rights are? Slavery is permitted in the Bible, does that mean there is no right not to be enslaved? Does the 13th Amendment extend rights beyond the ones that are God given or did the founding fathers not sufficiently appreciated what rights are God given? Who protects those rights? Given the Holocaust, etc, it is clear that God does not work to ensure any rights.

It is not conservatives belief in absolute truth that bothers me, it is the belief that they always know what that absolute truth is.”

We Conservatives have been expounding on our rights as granted by the Creator for years now and this is a tactic of the left, to keep asking the same question over and over, until the subject of their attack is worn out and quits the fight. In fact, “The Conservative Mind,” which is great reading by-the-way, goes into great depth on them and the book “Patriots,” covers much of their religious background including the daily reading of a prayer by a pastor, to a room full of Quakers, Anabaptists, etc, which set the tone for the Congress.

So, to answer the seminar poster Pojento418…

We on the right are using our Creator-given individual rights and civil liberties as a rallying point for reclaiming liberty from a tyrannical government. There can be no justification for a government that taxes us while representing us as shabby as Robert Hanssen protected classified material and that forces legislation on us as unwanted as a tornado in a trailer park.

The Constitution is the secular law of the land and it is backed up by an equally secular Bill of Rights, both perhaps the best documents ever forged by Man but there can be no doubt that The Declaration of Independence is a sacred mandate from God. Consider the following:

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

All men [and women] ARE born free, it is humanity that enslaves them one way or another. Liberals enslave their adherents through welfare programs and entitlement programs that steal away the souls of the people until they are but a hollow shell going through the motions of life. One look at any Blue State or inner city controlled by liberals for a few decades reveals that to be the truth. Apparently, our seminar poster never bothered to read the Big Three: The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Declaration of Independence, because it is all listed therein.

It must also be noted that the Revolution fought by the Founders and the First Americans was and always will be, a revolution fought for the sacred and unalienable human rights as outlined above but also, that we fought to live under a set of moral laws, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” that allows us to make our own way through life, as free men and women, not as serfs or slaves to a tyrannical government. It is, therefore, secular law, that can turn into tyranny, when those laws work to destroy the individual’s rights. What right does ObamaKare have to tell US to buy health insurance or face a fine? None. Have said fine seized by the IRS from our taxes? None. Face jail if we refuse? None.

What liberals, and the seminar poster fail to realize is that the First and the Second Amendments illustrate the concept that all men are created equal [and free]. You are free to speak your mind unless it clearly endangers others (yelling “fire” in a theater) and you are free to defend yourself, family, hearth and home, from outside threats, including an oppressive and tyrannical government, via the Second Amendment. Only free men and women living under the eyes of their Creator, can enjoy this. God is free, He made us in His own image, thus we are indeed, born free. God gives natural gifts to each and every person, they do not come from the government and hence, cannot be taken away by the government. If one paints like Michelangelo, that gift came from God and could (and should) be used in honest labor to create and to profit by it. The government serves only to “secure and protect” the unalienable and sacred rights of the individual.

Free men and women, created by God, hold that rights are derived from the traits of human nature as a free people. It is the individual who uses his or her thinking mind in order to produce what he or she needs in order to survive, thrive, and pursue their own happiness. Individual rights, granted to us by God, are the bedrock on which this nation was founded and mutual respect for those rights is the mortar that binds them together. America prospered because individuals WILLINGLY worked together in a melting pot, that made “one from many” but also allowed individual freedom to follow one's own path. The basic form in a stable and thriving society is the individual, that becomes a family, that becomes a society, that becomes a nation, yet it all started with the Creator’s gift of: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

What liberals always fail to take note of is that the Founders of the United States sought to create a society of free individuals, worshiping their Creator (as they saw fit) and blessed by their Creator, in their own way. Hence the First Amendment that prohibited a State religion but not the worship of any religion. America and Americans can only stand on solid ground if we embrace our God-given individual rights. Liberals never learn that any “rights” granted by a government are not rights at all by any stretch of the word but merely privileges that can be removed when it suits the government. Take Social Security for example. You are forced to pay into it, your employer is forced to pay into it, you expect it to be there when you retire at age 60, then 62, then 64, then 65, then 70, etc, in a perverted Catch-22 as they raise the retirement age, it’s never there for you, especially when the politicians rape and pillage the fund for each new flashy shiny project they want and want us to pay for. Indeed, just look at the various “protected classes” of people in America today.

That was not what our Founders wanted, one group of citizens held over another one and reversible at any given point in time. Right now we have the parasites, those Peggy the Moochers who are “labor-challenged” (the Entitlement Class) and living on various entitlement programs (government-granted “rights”) that live off of the forced largesse of another group of “unprotected classes”, the hard-working, tax-paying, middle and upper class, who work and pay for the government-granted "rights" of the entitlement class that has the government as its sole beneficiary.

Liberals, and the seminar poster, never seem to get the fact that “We the People” do not and have never needed, the Government to describe our sacred human rights as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Nor have we ever needed them to outline the moral laws and guidelines as outlined by God. “Do unto others,” still works for us but it is the government that can’t abide by that sacred law. No one needs tell us to look out for our neighbor, our friends, our own. We on the Right are far far more generous in our charity than the Left is and we should glorify in that. No one needs to tell us to get a job, work for one’s own ends, raise a family, serve in the military, etc. WE KNOW THIS! Indeed, “We the People” need to ensure that any and all laws which attack an individual’s equal rights to life, liberty and private property, as given by God, are declared unconstitutional and either nullified by the Supreme Court or if not them, then by the individual States and local government, as desired by the Founders. God made us free, not the federal government.

Liberals like the seminar poster can try to deny it but the Declaration of Independence is the supreme moral law of the United States and cannot be amended or done away with by the government. It was written for a moral and just people and declares without a shadow of a doubt, our individual freedoms. It also preceded the Constitution and therefore, supersedes amendable secular laws. It is plainly clear to anyone who reads these documents that the purpose of our government is to secure our God-given individual rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men”) and to enjoy the fruits of our labor and the private property honestly earned through our labor. No one has the right to take these away from us except for God.

As for blaming the Holocaust on God? Only a liberal could come up with that senseless logic fit only for a brainless drone, it is not worth the Gunny’s time to answer such drivel. Maybe pojento418 wanted God to arrive in a thunderous blast from Heaven to fight Hitler? Maybe this seminar poster might be better off reading what the father of modern Conservatism wrote a few hundred years ago and what WE on the Right need to live by today: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” WW2 rid the world of Hitler, let the Tea Party and an awakened Silent Majority rid us of liberalism and their myrmidons, the RINOS.

Liberals like the seminar poster don't like to admit to our "God-given" rights simply because government IS their god. Admitting that there IS a God casts doubts on their lifestyles and actions and as we all know, liberals hate that. But that is another essay.
