If this weekly column seems redundant, it is because
America’s struggle between freedom and bondage is
redundant. I
will keep hammering away thinking maybe someday,
someone, somewhere will finally understand why
patriots died for the exceptional idea called
America.
Liberty’s opposition is nasty as evidenced by
the hate mail I receive because rather than debating
an issue, progressives prefer to silence all who
disagree. This
quickly brings me to my point.
Regardless the shiny labels of progressivism
or liberalism, the founding ideal driving today’s
ruling class is Marxism.
The principle it is the proper function of
government is to take from each according to their
deeds and give to each according to their needs
originates from 1848 German philosophers, not 1776
American patriots. Even
though wealth redistribution was soundly rejected in
November’s election, there are Marxist remnants in
every legislative body.
At this early stage of every legislative
session, progressives always publically extoll the
virtues of compromise and bipartisanship all while
privately knowing they will engage in neither.
They know Marxism and liberty are mutually
exclusive conditions with one advancing only at the
expense of the other.
They will be damned to relinquish any ground
they have gained.
Case in point:
Mentioning the proposed Obamacare repeal is
always followed by the question, “What is your
replacement?”
Answering this is to surrender to the premise
it is a necessary and proper function of government
to regulate or provide healthcare.
With that point lost, the next incremental
step on our path to a Marxist utopia is to yield
decisions regarding diet, exercise, and genetic
counseling to government.
After all, once the ruling class controls
healthcare, logic dictates the unwashed will not be
allowed to eat, exercise and breed indiscriminately.
Government control is for the good of the
whole, remember?
At its founding, the GOP was a party of
liberty, but that time has passed.
Every legislative chamber has just enough
progressive Republicans willing to help the ruling
class Democrats advance Marxism under the bipartisan
banner.
You can spot them by their voting record.
This happens in Helena, in your state capital
and in Washington, D.C. and it disgusts me to no
end.
Ronald Reagan told us “freedom is never more than
one generation away from extinction,” and once again
he is right.
Identify and retire those who vote to enslave
you under the guise it is for your own good.
There is nothing charitable about committing
citizens to a life of dependency either as a
benefactor or a beneficiary.
