Rev. Dr. Thistlethwaite, You Should Be Smarter than This!
Canada Free Press ^ | July 18, 2014 | Mike Jensen

Posted on 07/20/2014 9:39:50 AM PDT by Cheerio

My primary goal today is to save the Rev. Dr. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite from herself and from the tyranny of socialism. You may not have heard of the Rev. Dr. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite; I’ll introduce you to her shortly.

First, a short primer on socialism. Here’s how it works:
1.Take something the government has no business meddling in.
2.Have the government declare it a “human right"and offer it free to people.
3.Watch people go bat guano crazy when anybody complains about this or tries to fix it.

Let’s look at a hypothetical: automobiles. Cars have, from the time of their first use by the American people, been a personal, private choice. If I want a car, I buy one. If I don’t want a car, I don’t buy one. If I can’t afford a car but I would like one, I save up my money until I can afford one. If I decide that I want a car, I decide for myself which car to buy—make, model, features, new vs. used, etc. It’s my car, and my choice.

Well worth a read, this one.

The author clearly sets out what should be the terms of response to government intervention in the people’s rights; namely that government’s role is to preserve the right (ie., avoid interference in any form), not dictate it’s terms and conditions.

Well worth a read, this one. The author clearly sets out what should be the terms of response to government intervention in the people’s rights; namely that government’s role is to preserve the right (ie., avoid interference in any form), not dictate it’s terms and conditions.

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, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

In Congress, July 4, 1776, Declaration of Independance

I can find nothing in our founding documents - unlike libtards - that guarantees a "Right" to any particular goods or services or guaranteed success. There is of course the 14th Amendment (much debated and argued in court) about granting "Equal" Protection under the law. Not being an attorney I cannot comment on where that stands - as a layman I would say there are more rights granted by the Fed Gov to Gays, Blacks, Hispanics, Women, atheists, DemonRATS, etc. than to white religious conservatives.

Rights are granted by God.. givernment only grants permissions not enforced.. or illegally funded..

Givernment has no authority to grant rights..
Givernment is a Mob(gang).. Democracy is Mob Rule by mobsters..
Always in every case. no exceptions.. forced compliance..

AND WHY?... the U.S. Constitution MUST BE abrogated..
Making Mob Rule legal.. and enforced Apathy the rule..

And why? FREEDOM always costs bood... much blood..

You cannot reason someone out of a position they didn’t use REASON to reach.

Mr. Jensen, if the good reverend doctor was smarter than that, she probably wouldn’t be a leftist. Or a UCC minister.
