Ashton Kutcher and Sex Trafficking: The Next Step
American Thinker ^ | February 19, 2017 | Trevor Thomas

Posted on 02/19/2017 9:16:23 AM PST by Kaslin

As his recent and moving testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee reveals, Ashton Kutcher seems to be doing some great work combating the horrendous evil of worldwide sex trafficking. His testimony was hailed by conservative and liberal media alike. I wish him much success, and I hope he continues his efforts for many years to come. However, I challenge Mr. Kutcher to go farther when it comes to battling evil in the sexual realm.

As he began his speech, Kutcher passionately declared that he was there to "defend the right to pursue happiness." He was referencing the U.S. Declaration of Independence. However, he made a couple of mistakes in declaring that the "right to pursue happiness" was "bestowed upon all of us by our Constitution." I thought perhaps it was simply an error in semantics. However, Mr. Kutcher doubled down on his misunderstanding of our rights and in his next sentence said, "I believe that it is incumbent upon us as citizens – as Americans – to bestow that right upon others."

Mr. Kutcher's biggest mistake was not in referencing the Constitution instead of the Declaration; it was in his misunderstanding about where the rights of humans originate. Our rights are not "bestowed upon us" by any human being or any document created by human beings. As the Declaration of Independence reveals, we are "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable [indisputable and irremovable] rights." In other words, our rights come from God and not from man.

I wonder how Ashton the bleeding heart is going to square his open borders stand with an attempt to stop criminal sex traffic.

He bungled life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. People view happiness in different ways,like child molesters,rapists,abortionists,communists all are happy doing what they do. Those locoweeds that teach their children to hate the president,or enjoy calling people horrible names,and accuse them of awful things are very happy in their agendas. They are happy in other people’s misery,and keep accelerating their sick behavior.

That’s fake news. Plenty of real scandals they could investigate instead, like the Clinton foundation or ELECTION FRAUD.

Trevor Thomas is taking issue with a hack actor reciting his lines. The errors he is correcting are true, but his efforts are wasted on someone who will never recognize the errors, much less learn from them.

I doubt that Ashton Kutcher will be reading that site soon, but others may read and learn.

This hearing was just Senator McCain deflecting from the Mike Flynn firing.

I found it on Google and put it in my photobucket. For the thread that is not even worth words.
