Americans Are Just Better Human Beings

[PoliticalChic]

Contrary to Obama's misstatemnt of American exceptionalism, we are simply a higher level of human development than any other nation.



1.In support of that judgment, one need be reminded that there is a full spectrum, not just ‘the other end,’ meaning Nazis, Bolsheviks, Maoists, and all sorts of savages.
It is important to carefully consider those nationalities that at first glance appear to be….similar….to America. But aren’t.

Oppression and genocide left out of the calculation….the view of human rights becomes central.



2. Our nation sprang from the loins of our closest relative, Britain…..but there are dramatic differences when one considers what Americans consider unalienable rights.

Here is what ‘rights’ are.
A right is something an individual has by virtue of being human.

Human beings are the only entities that have rights.

Rights belong to each human individually.

Rights are exercised by individuals, and are not given nor ascribed by any person of group, especially governments.

Rights are voluntary, in that individuals may choose whether to either exercise them or to ignore them.

Individual cannot have a right that infringes upon or diminishes the rights of others. (So much for 'abortion rights.')

• To be clear, ‘benefits’ such as education, shelter, or a job require resources from somewhere else, and therefore, cannot be given or protected without restricting another’s right to the property of his hands or mind.
• 
  For Americans, rights precede government. Government’s purpose is to protect those rights.

One thing I would point out & a fact the left ignores is that our unalienable rights come from God & cannot be taken away by law, rule, mandate, etc...
Any law trying to curtail our natural human rights are illegitimate & must be resisted & rejected by any means necessary by free people unwilling to surrender their rights to despotism

I can't think of another nation with that view.

We may be unique in this acknowledgement. Most countries have evolved from generations of despotism themselves & have it ingrained in their cultures & way of thinking

We have two posters, both whose avi’s begin with “D” who love to criticize America and Americans, yet come from a nation that opposes free speech.



“Justin Trudeau blames Putin invading Ukraine on Democracies NOT being ANTI-Free Speech enough. No, really. It’s amazing.” “Countries allowing increasing misinformation and disinformation to be shared on social media.” Justin Trudeau blames Putin invading Ukraine on Democracies NOT being ANTI-Free Speech enough. No, really. It’s amazing.

Canada's internet censorship bill is a major threat to free speech online

Canada just won't stop trying to regulate online speech.

So pleased that you dropped by in this particular thread, as you are proof of what sort non-Americans are. You, more than willing to swallow Marxist propaganda and spew it, parrot it, regurgitate it.




While there are tons of really stupid Democrat voters, those incapable of putting together an articulate post, other than some version of vulgarity, there are those who are not stupid…..yet swallow the Democrat/Liberal propaganda whole.

You are clearly not one of those, which is why I was so pleased when you revealed how easily you are swayed by the lies and half-lies. You fit into the category of soft-hearted but soft-headed.




You wrote this about Barbara Ehrenreich’s Leftist tract, “Nickel And Dimed,” the plight of America's working-class poor.”

You wrote:
“It is a terrific read. I highly recommend it today......and have been recommending it for years. It informed me.
Read Nickel & Dime. It will make you a better American.” The American Dream Is No Longer Possible…. post #7

And:

“This book gives one a peek into that world of low-pay hard-work while trying to get an apartment, a car, insurance, etc. It gave me a whole new perspective on those immigrant laborers …” Post #11





But it didn’t ‘inform’ you….it mislead you, and as a result you vote for the Bolsheviks.

One reviewer wrote: “This is a book that I wanted to like — I sympathize with the author's motives — but what could have been an interesting project (and an interesting book) is instead a bizarre Marxist screed about class warfare. Ehrenreich enters her experiment with the end in mind — failure — and she seems to do everything she can to make this end come to fruition.

Nickel and Dimed could have been so much more. I wanted to hear about the people Ehrenreich worked with, wanted to hear their backgrounds and stories and dreams, but very little of that comes through in the book. Instead, we learn about all the little ways in which Ehrenreich sabotages any chance at success.”

One moment, please...

A young man, Adam Shepard, found Ehrenreich's book so depressing, he went out to see if it was correct. He proved the American Dream was alive and well….and he wrote a book about it. Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream

You read the propaganda, but failed to read a real life experiment that proved the opposite.

And once you were suckered in, they got you to vote for this:

The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism,

socialism,

infanticide,

opposition to free speech,

standing with criminals and felons rather than law-abiding citizens

substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry,

support for rioters, arsonists, murderers, and anarchists,

accepting payment from Communist China for future considerations,

and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.



Drop back when thinking becomes a priority to you.

That's just another difference between us. I don't need anything other than common sense to know I would never surrender my natural God given rights no matter what collectivists say.
Apparently, you would require some authority figure to write them down & tell you it's OK.
I'm a free man & if you want to infringe, you better be prepared for pushback, up to & including violence.
You're a sheep ready to do whatever someone tells you
Good luck with that

God given natural rights are separate from any govt, law or document. We all have them.
Some people are just too ignorant or lack the self confidence to exercise them.
Free country, you are free to cower & grovel for affirmation from any source you want but don't expect the rest of us to bend the knee to your lack of self esteem

Exactly which rights do we get just by living? The right to marry someone of the same gender? Please provide a list.

Who gives us these rights? God? Has He been consistent through time?

What exactly are those rights? Easy to say, impossible to agree on I suspect. Do we have the right to marry someone of the same gender? If you kill someone in my family do I have the right to kill someone in your family?

Excellent post.

I would always say that there is an argument against forced gestation. A reasonable discussion can be had about that if both parties involved in the discussion understand the concepts you very eloquently described regarding rights.

When everyone involved agrees that rights are unalienable and not granted by government, reasonable solutions can be reached because we have a common goal – – preservation of human rights.

my natural God given rights

God given natural rights are separate from any govt, law or document. We all have them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ummm?
Which god gave you these "natural God-given rights"? (you do know there are at least a thousand gods people believe in?).

And if this (he or she?) god gave 'em to you......well, how do you know?
After all, you were an infant when you came here.
So when and how did you acquire the belief that some unnamed god gave you some rights?

Batter up, mon ami.

Time and again I am forced to educate you.
But.....noblesse oblige.....


From England, via the Magna Carta, we find a celebration of inalienable rights.


The most important word in the Declaration of Independence is found here:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …”

The word is ‘secure.’
secure
verb
secured; securing

transitive verb

1a: to relieve from exposure to danger : act to make safe against adverse contingenciessecure a supply line from enemy raids

b: to put beyond hazard of losing or of not receiving : GUARANTEE secure the blessings of liberty— U.S. Constitution




That means that the most important function of government is to maintain pre-existing rights, not to create them, nor to dispense them. They are known and self-evident prior to the founding of our nation, are inalienable, whether one chooses to use them or not.

Men are created equal, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.



Guess what the Progressives feel about the rights guaranteed by our memorializing documents: that they don't exist.
You have no rights unless government feels like issuing them.....
Democrats
Progressives
Liberals
Nazis.

Batter up, mon ami.

The God.....that requires a capital 'G' rather than the pagan forms you worship.....that our Founders relied on.

The Constitution provides for an observance of the Sabbath in its Presentment Clause, mandating that the President has ten days, excluding Sundays, to veto a bill lest it become binding.

And the instrument was framed with a view to the Declaration, which unequivocally bestows gratitude on the God of the Bible for America's independence.



1. The most quoted source was the Bible. Established in the original writings of our Founding Fathers we find that they discovered in Isaiah 33:22 the three branches of government: Isaiah 33:22 “For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.” Here we see the judicial, the legislative and the executive branches. In Ezra 7:24 we see where they established the tax exempt status of the church: Ezra 7:24 “Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.”

When we look at our Constitution we see in Article 4 Section 4 that we are guaranteed a Republican form of government, that was found in Exodus 18 “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:” This indicates that we are to choose, or elect God fearing men and women. Looking at Article 3 Section 3 we see almost word for word Deuteronomy 17:6: ‘No person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses. . .’ Deuteronomy 17:6 “At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses. . .”. The next paragraph in Article 3 Section 3 refers to who should pay the price for treason. In England, they could punish the sons for the trespasses of the father, if the father died.

Bet you don't know that the Constitution references Jesus Christ.

If you were an American, you might understand this.
