When God is eliminated, Man can do anything, especially evil

Thomas Jefferson’s Memorial has this as one of its inscriptions:

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”

“Gift of God” – THE anchor point from which our Rights flow.  Not from Man and not from some collective.  Sure, it was a collection of men that wrote the words but they believed, too. They acknowledged that there is a Higher Power from whom our freedom and our liberty flows from.  They wanted to establish that with this fact, who was Man to take them away from the then (and I guess now, given the collectivism we are being dragged into) radicalism that we were not to be subservient to a government – it was to be subservient to we sovereign citizens.  This was one of our foundational values of our Republic as it buttresses their philosophy that it was no longer Kings that had divine right, it was each and every one of us that were sovereign before God and Nature’s God – a singular path to an absolute truth and to which Totalitarians, Communists, and Socialists rail against as they believe Man should serve The State. Think I’m wrong?

Then we have that highly respected thinker and Progressive political philosopher, CNN’s Chris Cuomo (kid brother of NY Gov. Andrew “I don’t care about the Second Amendment” Cuomo and offspring of former NY Governor Mario Cuomo):

Our rights do not come from God, your honor, and you know that. They come from man… That’s your faith, that’s my faith, but that’s not our country. Our laws come from collective agreement and compromise.”

Well, I guess we see why CNN’s viewership is in the toilet, on full display.  The problem is that too many people either have not learned or are so greedy for power over the rest of us that they strive to rewrite history and CERTAINLY work hard to replace our traditional values and philosophy.  After all, if this singular point is displaced, what is to keep us from Mob Rule – which is Cuomo’s “collective agreement“.

Which is nothing less than “If mere Government ‘gave’ you something, we can take it away – and give it to someone else”.  Rights?  Only as long as somebody’s whim hasn’t spied it.

 

 

 

Sidenote: and I thought we fought a Revolutionary War, in part, to get away from family political dynasties?
