Yeah, their ideological “father” takes what is good and true and TWISTS it into a perversion of its true self.
The “accusation” that conservatives see people as “lazy and corrupt” is a perversion of the truth.
Conservatives generally have the “limited” view of the condition of Man, ie, that he’s inherently sinful, that his wicked behavior comes from within and is not, as the liberals believe, “inherently good” and his negative behavior is simply a product of his environment.
That is why no human can be allowed to have power over the life, liberty or property of another, because he will abuse that power. This is reality. This is why our gov’t is set up the way it is.
The liberals’ view of mankind leads them to being SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that when they provide a good environment, say, more fruits and veggies to buy, that people still don’t buy them.
Agreed. Our Constitution’s checks and balances, (if they had the courage to use them), are proof positive that our Founders understood that men are inherently sinful. When used as designed, they keep inherently sinful men from abusing their power.
Once the fact our essential individual rights descend from God is eliminated as the base assumption of our form of government it will not be long before really bad things start happening.
