John Kerry And The Other Democratic Leaders

Where Utopianism Is Advanced Through Gradualism Rather Than Revolution, Albeit Steady And Persistent As In Democratic Societies, It Can Deceive And Disarm An Unsuspecting Population, Which Is Largely Content And Passive. It Is Sold As Reforming And Improving The Existing Society's Imperfections And Weaknesses Without Imperiling Its Basic Nature. Under These Conditions, It Is Mostly Ignored, Dismissed, Or Tolerated By Much Of The Citizenry And Celebrated By Some. Transformation Is Deemed Innocuous, Well-intentioned, And Perhaps Constructive But Not A Dangerous Trespass On Fundamental Liberties.

In The Free Market, A Man Born Into Wealth Or Who Has Otherwise Acquired Great Riches Can Lose His Fortune Depending On How He Chooses To Behave. Conversely, A Man Born Into Poverty Or Who Has Lost Wealth Once Obtained Can Acquire A Fortune, Depending, Again, On How He Chooses To Behave.

It Is Folly To Believe That Congress And The President, On Their Own, Will Make The Necessary And Difficult Decisions To Address The Impending Financial Debacle. After All, They And Their Predecessors Engineered The Approaching Tsunami. As The Situation Becomes Direr, The Federal Government's Actions Will Grow More Oppressive.

Moreover, It Is Difficult To Reconcile Hobbes’s Distrust For The Individual With His Confidence In The Altruistic Nature Of The Individual Or Individuals Who Will Oversee And Control The Leviathan. Are Not The Latter Also Of Flesh And Blood? Hobbes Seems To Be Saying That Man’s Nature Cannot Be Trusted But The Nature Of A Ruler Or A Ruling Assembly Of Men Can Be Trusted. How So?

We Now Have The Liberal Playbook And We Know What They Are Doing, And We Are Using It Against Them. Unlike The Democrats Though, We Aren't Out To Destroy Our Society, We Are Out To Save It.
