Progressivism is incompatible with life

[P@triot]

How do you delegate a right to him that you never had in the first place?

You might want to read the U.S. Constitution, sparky. The people got together and decided these powers exist. The voluntarily voted on it - of their own free will.

Then it went to the states to “ratify” it. There again, the people approved and it was passed into law. That law states that rather than have the people vote on everything directly (a true democracy), we would have a representative democracy (otherwise known as a republic). That is where the power is derived from. We did have that right. We chose to “outsource” it to representatives.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

For a function of government to be legitimate, the government itself must be legitimate. This should not be assumed, but investigated. By what authority does government have the right to rule? By delegation of the people?

For you to delegate the right to someone else to perform some function, you must first have the right to perform it yourself - do you agree? I cannot delegate the painting of your house to my brother, since I do not have the right to paint your house to begin with.

So how do you suppose that Congress has the right to lay and collect taxes? The people delegate it to them? Who among those people would claim the right to personally tax their next-door neighbor? Even the founders saw this flaw, as nowhere in the Constitution does it explain how this power is acquired. They just assert it. They “shall”... how very convenient.

Can I just “shall” anything I please? Of course not. So what gives? Both right and left buy into the fundamental lie - the validity of government authority - because they hope they can wield that power themselves, by proxy. It’s invalid, immoral, and always backfires because it leaves the people holding the bag.

I'm reminded of a booklet I read long ago, and which I just now found online—The Proper Role of Government by Ezra Taft Benson.

He affirms, as you do, and I agree, that all legitimate government authority is derived from the authority of the governed. As individuals, we have a right to protect ourselves, our homes, our family, and our property, from the acts of criminals who would harm these things or deprive us thereof. Collectively, an organized society delegates this as a power of government, to be carried out by enacting and enforcing a system of laws aimed at protecting our rights,

We recognize the need for roads and other common infrastructure. Without government, I could, perhaps, buy some land, and some materials, and build a road thereon. You could do the same, as could our other neighbors. Hopefully, we would all build our roads in am organized manner, so that they connect to one another and create a usable system of roads. We could make deals with one another, were we give permission to the other neighbors to make use of our roads, in exchange for them giving us permission to use theirs. But what a clumsy mess this would all be, and what a nightmare to regulate. Much better, don't you think, for us to collectively delegate to government, the duty to construct a system of roads,and pay a tax to that government in order to pay the costs of doing so?

But what about welfare? If I observe that my neighbor, Mr. Smith, is struggling financially,and is unable to fully support himself and his family from his own earnings; while my other neighbor, Mr. Jones, is very wealthy, and has far more material resources than he needs; do I have the authority to take some of Mr,. Jones' wealth,and give it to Mr. Smith? No, I absolutely do not. Mr. Jones has the right to give any of his own wealth, to help a struggling neighbor, but I have no right to force him to do so, or to take it upon myself to transfer his wealth without his consent. Therefore, neither does government have this authority, for no idividual has this authority in order to delegate it to government.

OP- absolute idiocy. Every successful modern country is Progressive and socialist-no, not communist, brainwashed functional assholes. Even the United States, although barely with our ridiculously expensive Healthcare and giveaways to the rich and giant corporations. And of course brainwashed fools like GOP voters on here. ACA cuts abortions by 40%. You people are so ignorant and manipulated.

Spoken like a true Communist...congratulations! Nice spinning.

So I'm in favor of a dictatorship that owns all industry and business? You are out of your tiny mind. A living wage, good vacation, good health system, parental leave, and cheap day care and education is not communism you stupid a******.

Total BS, super dupe. We are unhappy because the greedy idiot GOP and you silly dupes and bigots have wrecked the country the last 35 years. But we don't think about politics all the time, dumbass.

Yeah right, the GOP are 'bigots'....That horse has been beaten to death with the only result......A bloody dead horse.

There are plenty of bigots and racists on this message board and it is not a coincidence you screw blacks over every day, not to mention Muslims, Hispanics etc etc.

We didn't outsource our rights, we chose people to represent our rights because a pure Democracy is not viable. The Founders knew this.

Everything about the progressive ideology (the victim mentality, the promotion of promiscuity, the facilitation of abortion, the refusal to take personal responsibility, the entitlement, the rejection of God, the demonization of success, etc.) is incompatible with life.

Ask yourself this question: Is a black child likely to grow up happy if he is told by his parents, his teachers, his political leaders, and all his media that society largely hates him? Of course not. Raising a black child to regard America as racist and oppressive all but guarantees an unhappy black adult.

The progressive ideology is breeding a resentful, miserable, unhappy following. Which explains the violence, the tearing down of monuments, and the perpetual aggravation of the left.

Yeah? What are you going to do about it, nothing that's what. Feel free to move to Canada.

Oh right, progress is bad. Idiots. Must pander to the rich and screw the poor and the country. Great thinking...

Russia is more like it. Canada is is probably the
Best and most Progressive country in the world now. After 35 years of GOP policy and tax rates, the USA is an unequal and disgraceful violent mess. With many bigoted antisocial angry GOP doops.

You can't move to Canada, idiot. We would like to fix the wreck you have made of America, dumbass. Change the channel.

Franco here is proving the entire premise of this thread accurate. He’s been trained to believe that outside forces are targeting him. Just the “man keep’n a brother down”.

Snowflake...nobody is “screwing” the poor. They have unlimited freedom to make their own decions and enjoy the same liberty as everyone else.

Is Blues a progressive? Progressivism sure had wrecked America. It’s a cancer and we better find a cure soon. Progressivism destroys everything it touches.

I understand the rhetoric, but this does not answer the question, “How does your representative have rights that you don’t?” How can he be said to represent you when he can make law and you cannot? How do you delegate a right to him that you never had in the first place?

The Constitution of the U.S. is not 'rhetoric.' Representatives do not have any 'rights' I don't have. Representatives are elected to REPRESENT my rights in the geographic U.S. I have the right to write and promote a bill if I choose to do so. So do you if you are a U.S. citizen. Sadly, that last bit may be changing with progressive policies that promote illegal aliens as having citizen rights.

What polices are you blathering about?

This is a prime example of the “wreck” that progressives have made of America. Washington D.C. is typical progressive shit-hole. Crime rates off the charts. Loss of constitutional rights (such as the 2nd Amendmen). Poverty and misery rampant.

And if that wasn’t enough, they actually elect someone to city council who has dreadlocks, is named “Trayon”, and has grammar so atrocious, it wouldn’t even be tolerated in the first grade where I went to school.

”Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation.”

“Y’all”? Seriously? Y’all? This what progressives elect to make decisions about their city?!? But wait, it gets even worse.

And D.C. keep talking about, “We a resilient city.”

Hey Tra’yon....that would be “we are a resilient city” you ignorant, illiterate, idiot. And then Mr. No Grammar finishes up illustrating his ignorance to the world by claiming that Jews are controlling and manipulating the weather (you can’t make this stuff up). Yep...this is the type of ghetto trash that progressives actually elect to public office. Is it any wonder their cities have morphed into 3rd-world shit-holes?

DC councilman claims Jews are ‘controlling the climate,’ says he ‘did not intend’ to be anti-Semitic
