Freedom and liberty work so well because they are totally consistent with our nature as human beings.
It is a fact that reason and logic are the tools nature has given humankind to survive. We are, by nature, unlike any other form of life. We are the same physically, but far from the same in our education on how to use our own reasoning minds. FREEDOM is essential for every human being to find their own happiness, choose their own road in life, and ultimately rise to their own potential. If you take away our ability to think and make choices, it would be like clipping the wings of a bird or the tail off a fish. We cannot survive.
These facts cannot be argued away.
Capitalism is the only economic system that addresses these facts of human nature. It is consistent with the principles of liberty. Communism and Socialism are not. No other form of government gets the results we do because freedom and liberty are consistent with our nature.
Capitalism is fair and just. Competition produces greatness, excellence, heroism, pride, and sometimes perfection. Losers learn from their peers and can improve or not improve. It takes effort. On the other hand, Marxism teaches us rewarding winners over the losers is wrong. Everyone gets the same reward because no one deserves anything better than anyone else. We all must sacrifice our lives and efforts for the good of all, the greater good, equality.
Other countries all pale in comparison to the USA. No other nation is based on our near-perfect Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Constitution and Bill of Rights demand, by LAW, individual freedom for all US citizens. It protects your right to your life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Your life is yours; it belongs to you, and you are FREE to live any way you choose, so long as you don’t infringe on the rights of others to do the same. These are beautiful documents, and they’re the reason our country, America, is the envy of the world.
There are more people who want to immigrate to America than all the 223 countries of the world combined. That’s what I call a popular vote. We have what the whole world wants, and it is because of our FREEDOM to live as we see fit, first and foremost. If you are honest and work hard, you are a success here no matter what you do for a living.
It is not a leader or party that guides me in my politics. It is the understanding of what the nature of humanity really is. Life is what you make of it. Life is what each of us thinks and feels we must do with it. We must be free to make ALL our choices in life and be responsible for all the results, good or bad. That’s what I want for the world. It’s logical, reasonable, and it works. We all want to live in peace, not in fear of our own government. You are the best judge of what is right for you. Your mind is guided by your heart.
So, any political stance that attacks this basic fundamental premise, THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE, I’m against—AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. Without the ability to use the tools nature has given us, our personal dreams will never be totally achieved in life. And unless we all stand up against those who threaten to censure our minds and break our hearts with these irrational, unfair mandates that command us to act against our own personal judgement, we stand to lose all power over ourselves and our families forever. We have to get in there and fight back against those who want to enslave us to each other.
God Bless America. Let Freedom Ring.
