Extremism in the Defense of Liberty
Sunday, March 1st, 2009In a recent post, supporters were asked to submit the reasons why they are MAD, and to give us their solutions to the problems we face today. Give us your take on the situation, as we will continue to feature your ideas:
Where does one begin? I say with natural rights! I have a right to life, liberty and property! These are individual rights that we are born with (maybe even the unborn), they are non-negotiable, self-evident, and cannot be trampled on with the “justification” that the end justifies the means. They are negative rights, they cannot be provided, they exist as long as man exists. Collectivists believe our income is society’s income, and that everyone has an equal right to his share of income…they have the right to enslave us. Ergo, our right to private property is now a “collective right,” the State decides how we shall choose to use our property, what and how much we can speak, and what we can and cannot do: we are subjects of the State.
Thus, our income is taxed, i.e. stolen, from us, corporations are subsidized with our stolen money, failure is rewarded via stolen money…our rights are manipulated…the Constitution is no longer applicable…a slipper slope to unlimited government, indeed. (more…)
