Involuntary servitude was abolished by proclamation and subsequent legislation a century and a half ago, and now we have “modern” thinkers looking the other way while it is being re-established in every quarter. First, we have the Muslim invaders entering, establishing Shari’ah law, and with it, the whole concept of “Dhimmi” and “Kufir”. This really revolutionary and regressive mindset is contrary to every precept that is embodied in the American ideal.
Now more recently we have vast swarms of unaccompanied youth streaming in, and demands they be released by all means possible from detention centers, into the custody of “relatives” of dubious credentials, and made into unwilling but helpless victims, exploited at every turn, with no chance or opportunity to escape their fate.
Now maybe some form of slavery is the “normal” condition of a large portion of humanity, but it flies in the face of every definition of freedom and justice I have been acquainted with. The genius of the American ideal is that every man is FREE of these limitations and obligations placed upon his head by forced submission to the will of another, who definitely does not have that person’s best interests in mind.
Thumbs up to what you said.
