No liberals believe in all manner of rubbish about using the state to make us better people or crating a ‘more humane’ world or other garbage that is in part a fig leaf for their basic desire to boss people around and part denatured secular Christianity. That is it in a nut shell. I hate the D-—— liberals for their desire to make me and everyone else a serf to the all powerful state and its various agencies. As the Gadsden Flag says ‘Don't Tread on Me’.

I don't worship a lot platitudes concocted by some bright fellows a couple hundred years ago. Some are really hilarious such as fixing the blame for slavery on Great Britain while that eminent theorist of liberty and slaveholder Thomas Jefferson penned the words.

I have never been able to consult the Almighty on whether he bestowed anything on humanity. It strikes me as odd that it took until the 18th century for mortals to suddenly discover this remarkable bequest. If rights there be we won them fair and square by beating our Sovereign monarch Geo II with the big time assistance of those friends of liberty the Bourbon monarchs of France and Spain.

Politics is nothing more than a fight over the distribution of power and wealth.
Making it some sanctified or sanctimonious operation is just sugar coating the turd beneath.

"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..." -- America's founders

Wow. What a comparison.

I'll stick with the founders, thanks.
