The path of my political awareness began with challenging myself to ask questions and seeking the Right answers.
For example, one early question that I asked was if the majority of the people in America decided to get rid of the Constitution and adopt communism, would we have to become communist when 50.0000001% of America says so?
My conclusion to that answer led me to immediately flee ever being a democrat back in days long past when I didn’t know the only difference between a fascist, communist, and socialist is what color hat they happen to wear when they come at you with a bribe, blade, or bullet.
But of late I have been noting a rising belief that Rights really aren't substantive and as biden has said with so much gibberish, are not absolute. And I have to beg to differ.
But that leads to everyone who is of like mind to be able to articulate to begin with, what are Rights? So let me submit my own understanding and likely poor definition of what Rights are, that I can defend against hell itself.
Rights are practices and principles that allow us to better ourselves and achieve prosperity.
And when and until someone can show me a better definition, that is what I defend for everyone. Even if I stand alone against a mob of anarchists protesting the evils of capitalism while extolling the virtues of socialism.
BTW, you know an organized group of anarchists are an oxymoronic assembly right? A true anarchist would do a one-man riot against a mob of pretentious fascionestas.
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.” ~ Saul Alinsky
However, I know that I am not alone. Because there is the Right to assemble peaceably. Although the left considers it a right to riot, divide, and destroy.
I also have the Right to speak my peace. Although the left consider it a right to spew filth.
I also have the Right to worship the Author of Rights. Although the left consider it a right to blaspheme while punishing hate speech.
I have the right to Defend the innocent with arms necessary to secure Liberty. Although the left consider it a right to pervert in order to enslave.
I have the Right to learn. While the left have the right to remain ignorant.
The left gang rapes truth while screaming for justice and demands the victim be jailed or executed.
“Accuse your enemy of what you are doing in order to confuse them” ~ Saul Alinsky
In my observation with the common behavior characteristics of the left, one action I witness repeatedly is to engage in psychotic levels of hypocrisy in order to divide and destroy the target and try to make me a willing participant by showing them “love” by aiding them to harm or using my right to remain silent.
Such a characteristic is satanic in example, as evidenced through the bible, and the nature of evil people throughout world history.
“If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible what was the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men had forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.' ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
So let me ask you this. Who has the authority to take away your Rights? Let me give an extreme and blatant example.
Let’s say we live in a country that has legalized slavery. And for some reason, you want to be a slave and you find someone willing to accept you for their slave. Do you have the right to become their slave? And while being a slave, no longer have Rights and are subject to whatever treatment your master does to you against your will?
I will withhold my answer to that question and leave it to anyone reading to answer for themselves based on their view on slavery.
But let me use another example and give an answer. Let’s say you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. You are now, bound by contractual obligation to suppress your speech on the subject material, under penalty of law.
In my view, the contract is not worth the paper it is written on as long as the Constitution stands. Someone may try to challenge me on that by saying, that is just my opinion.
But excuse you, that is what is written in the Constitution. Not just in the First Amendment, but also Article 6.
Making an NDA not just an assault on my Right of Free Speech, but consequently opposed by the effective clause in Article 6, therefore unconstitutional and subsequently invalid.
Whew…. I can already hear lawyers screeching and laughing and pointing the finger at me challenging me to take my case to court and watch me get laughed out.
But here is the thing. I know the only thing supporting NDA’s are the FAITH ALONE keeping the contracts in place.
In short, if the jurist, the judge, or the juries believe it to be so, then in effect it is. And being Right, doesn’t mean I won’t lose and suffer punishment for breaking my word.
“One man who stopped lying could bring down a tyranny.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
What about workplace policy for dictating how I dress, or disarming me from carrying a firearm or reading the bible or praying for someone. . .Or choosing to not be vaccinated with a drug that doesn’t even medically qualify as being a vaccine to begin with? Those rights are forfeit when I clock in?
Over the last year one principle, that is best expressed in a quote, has been driven home to me.
“Perfect is the enemy of Good” ~ Voltaire
Where I see this played out in the battlefield of life, is where ethical standards are pitted against moral practices. And all too often I see dull practices fornicating with ambiguous standards.
Let that sink in a minute and consider the social arguments and how they are being played out in the streets of your heart and in our country for a minute.
“The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means.” ~ Saul Alinsky
Whether it is arguments over homelessness being funded by our taxes, potheads going to jail over lack of FDA approval, abortion over babies conceived by rape, or children being seduced, drugged, and castrated into perversion by parental consent or state-assisted action. And I can go on and on over the battles dividing ethical values and moral principles to put people against people and separate and isolate people to stand alone and face common threats helplessly.
“Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.” ~ Saul Alinsky
The thing is, to be a Christian I don’t have to live up to the standards set by Christ. But I do have to live under them. And that is something that is misunderstood by every unGodly person without exception regardless of what political or religious label they consider themselves.
And the thing I see in common among everyone that is unGodly is the failure for them to live up to even their own standards. Much less come anywhere near to “living up to Christianity” while trying to look down on it from their dungheap.
And they are absolutely missing out on what it means to have Grace, and what it means to give forgiveness. And how great it feels to live, by God.
“In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.” ~ G.K. Chesterton
I am somewhat confused where they get the idea, that socialism makes everyone a saint and gives socialists any moral highground to be the lords over evil capitalists.
