This is grotesquely at odds with our founding philosophy of man's inalienable rights, that each man is an end in himself and not a sacrificial object of society. If we let self-sacrifice be our moral ideal, we've given government the means of enslaving us, and liberty, to the extent it exists, will be by permission, rather than right.

Quote of the week. People (even many on this forum), have become "freedom challenged".

The very meaning of pathetic is when people will work literally half their lives for the government and still be happy as a pig in a mudhole.

I'd be shocked if this thread got anyhwhere near 50 responses.

"I'd be shocked if this thread got anywhere near 50 responses."

The world and its people have been in the clutches of war-states for over half a century.

Some sort of socialist rhetoric is essential in each instance to numb the mind and condition behavior.

In America this rhetoric is styled 'progressive'. Or sometimes,'politically correct'.

Only 'reactionaries';i.e., enemies of the modern state, will bump this thread. But there may be more than 50. ;^)

A biblical Christian view doesn't treat the virtues (self sacrifice, restrained government) as an either-or.
