Good stuff. That’s been the demonicRATS’ m.o. for 60 years.

This is really fantastic stuff," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "Free stuff for stupid people's votes? What a breakthrough! All we have to do is lie about how much stuff we can give away, and those horrible Republicans will never hold office again."

The Bee zinged the Dems again .. I love it!!!

This hits right on the mark.

The Babylon Bee article reminded me of a July 4 letter I send to papers and commentators every year. Of course, his take is really not a new inspiration.

July 4 and the American Dream

On July 4 we recognize the Declaration of Independence for defining the American Dream as granting by our Creator of inalienable natural liberties including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They represent intangible property sourced in opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only by application of these inherent rights can one truly possess material property. The Constitution established a government embodying these treasured rights by promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty.

Whatever the Constitution defined as an American Dream did not involve government providing largess to ensure college funds, retirement accounts, savings, affordable health care, home ownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.

However, politicians who become patricians promote their welfare by offering citizens enchanting elements of material security such as described above, while obscuring subservience to administrative laws and regulations vastly increasing their power. Their legislation and rules negate our Bill of Rights confiscating intangible human freedoms for these apparitions.

Such devices are the soft underbelly of our Constitution. Under English Common Law, basic to our Constitution, a person is innocent and not subject to the penalties of law until proved guilty. Administrative laws and regulations, like Roman Civil Law, subject people to government penalties and restrictions until they find means to extricate themselves.

People now routinely make Faustian like bargains unconsciously which exchange parts of their human essence for illusions of material comfort and security.
