The American left is becoming more brazen. It feels empowered and unashamed to censor conservative speech on campus and elsewhere. It frankly condemns property rights and the free enterprise system. Its champions like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren coldly mock prosperous entrepreneurs and even disparage abundant consumer choice on the shelves of grocery and department stores. That worldview is obviously far from America’s cultural and constitutional roots. In choosing the blessings and risks of independence over the security and servitude of colonial dependence, the founders crafted a constitution carefully structured to protect property, contract, and economic rights.
Bernie and crazy Elizabeth would have love shopping in Soviet grocery stores before the fall.
I’d go just a bit further. You can’t have freedom without some measure of financial privacy.
Economic Liberty?
Is that like “Living off the land?”
Or the modern version, shoplifting.
Excellent observation!
Regards,
Make that privacy, not just financial privacy.
The point is... that knowing this, if we don’t turn soon turn ourselves into Milo, and Ann Coulter, and get the message out we are doomed by OUR OWN PARALYSIS.
We are stuck parroting it only to one another, to succumb in silence, prattling away on our keyboards.
I have a one word answer for them: Venezuela
And true property ownership.
Not like how you can so easily lose your house to government today.
“I have a one word answer for them: Venezuela”
Maybe Doom has arrived...if Venezuela doesn’t grip them, they clearly cannot read.
