The Nation was founded on a few simple principals.

Life

Liberty

Pursuit of Happiness

That Rights are intrinsic to the individual.

The left today may give lip service to those words but their actions place restrictions on individual rights.

What proposal in the last 2 years of a Democratic controlled
congress, and the last 2 months of a Democrat President have expanded,
or further strengthened individual rights?

Indeed. Actually, it should have been Life, Liberty, and Property. They had loony liberals back then, too.

And youre right. These are intrinsic rights. They are not “granted” to us by any government, nor can they be revoked. (However, justice demands retribution in kind against people who deprive others of these rights).

Elitists, statists, petty criminals, and most dangerous of all, vacuous utopianists, do not think ordinary people deserve freedom and equality under the law. These kind of politicians become addicted to feelings of power and control. They routinely and arrogantly rob people of their lives, their liberties, and their property in the name of the children, the environment, social justice, redistribution of (other people’s) wealth, world peace, or simply political expediency.

They are in power now. Do you think that they wont do or say anything to retain it?
