So I have taken up the project of an Economic Conservatives Ping List.
I see you two understand. Which of you will pick what sort of project, eh?
National Security Conservative
Fiscal Conservative
Social Conservative
Constitutional Conservative
Federalist
etc.
We need you!
You obviously know the project we must embark upon. Please CREATE.
The Left is incredibly adept at appropriating freedom enhancing concepts and turning their meaning around to justify their nefarious purposes.
‘Justice’ is one such term.
Since from at least the days of the 13th century St. Thomas Aquinas, justice has meant accordance with Natural Law.
To the extent that Leftists give rip about our Declaration of Independence at all, they tell us that consent alone makes political power just. Not true, so long as we recognize that the governed, as envisioned in the Declaration, are subject to the Natural Law.
Absent compliance with Natural Law, that which is just is a matter of majority rule. This would remove the moral justification of our revolution and places man above God.
