Ever since Liberals have revised US history, it is not sufficiently impressed upon young people just what a breath taking, death-defying achievement the formation of The United States of America was, and continues to be!
If they did, they'd be straining every muscle in their spoiled bodies and exerting all their intellect (such as remains to them) in appreciating and defending their great good luck. It's a good luck they hardly deserve if they stand by while Liberal leaders pawn it in return for their moment of notice on the global stage.
One word sums up the entirety of the problem with Liberal groupthink and progressivism: FAIRNESS.
We were taught growing up that “nothing’s fair.” Johnny and Susie had a pool and cable, why can’t I? “Nothing’s fair, son,” my mother used to say.
Johnny and Susie’s mom and dad have a big house and TWO cars, why can’t we? “Nothing’s fair, son,” my father would rationalize.
Fairness is an attempt to force equality upon those who have to make those who have-not feel better about themselves and/or their lot in life. Problem is, once they realize they can have without doing, they want more than what the haves can give.
Fairness is an attempt to rationalize that men and women are equal in every way and should be treated as such. Problem is, men are physiologically stronger, faster, heavier, and taller, in general, than women. When you try to make things “equal” between sexes, you actually subjugate the men to promote the women, and sometimes vice versa.
If we had ADULTS ruling the country, one could simply say, “Life isn’t fair. The Declaration of Independence declares a right to life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness. It’s a declaration of INDEPENDENCE. It’s not a declaration of dependence based on assignment of need.”
The entire idea that America should be turning over for every hungry mouth, every impoverished outstretched hand, every broken leg or spirit, is anathema to the idea that this country was founded on the principles of self-sufficiency and motivation. If you have neither, you deserve what you get. Just like animals on the Serengeti, we can all live together, but if/when one of the predators gets hungry, they will use the unmotivated and the dependent to eat, to get ahead.
Governments are instituted by men to establish a lawful order. When government’s sole existence is to provide for those who wish to do nothing for themselves, then government has fundamentally failed to maintain order.
