I do not need my government. My government needs me doing what I enjoy for the sake of every other individual in this society. Let us in this day and in this age be done with the tyranny of government mandates.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
No right to BE happy. Only the right to PURSUE it.
The Sultan not only gets it, he articulates it better than the rest.
This essay should be required reading in every high school American Government class.
Great article!
When I first enlisted in the Navy in 1970 I swore an Oath, a binding agreement between myself, one single American, and the Nation made up of my fellow “single” Americans. In part it said:
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ... So help me God.”
That is the portion of my oath that is still binding. The remainder continues:
” ... and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice ... “
Because the current the President and the officers “appointed” over me have failed to maintain true faith and allegiance to the same Oath, they have, IMHO, become enemies of the America I swore to protect.
When the Government of the People becomes the government of the few and is used to limit the rights guaranteed by the Constitution rather than to promote them, it is time to change that government.
Brilliance again from Mr. Greenfield
I wish Mr. Greenfield would have mentioned this Nation’s survival is based on Christian virtues and values, which makes it the safest place on earth for Jews and other religions. John Adams stated clearly, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Consequently, the Pursuit of Happiness now means the Pursuit of Licentiousness and Depravity. Then the We the People demand Government intervention to save us from ourselves rather than God Almighty.
Well done!
