I find it facinating that the united muslim brotherhood and El baradei won’t allow the party of mubarack to participate in new elections. Isn’t that what BO would like to do to the republicans? I guess this is democracy at its finest.
Exactly. Democracy = mob rule. No limited constitutional republic for them with individual rights backed up by the rule of law...as opposed to collectivists rights.
The Law
Life Is a Gift from God
We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life physical, intellectual, and moral life.
But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course.
Life, faculties, production in other words, individuality, liberty, property this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
