Notable Quote – Joey Clark

My answer is NO.

…Some buy into the narratives proffered by Trump; others are already calling themselves the resistance to our new fair-haired, orange president. Political factions are giving a new perverse meaning to the phrase, “seek, and ye shall find.”

It’s sickening. Despite the freedom to believe and say what they wish, millions of people are taking their cues based on what the new leader says and does, as though the only question worth asking today is, “how should the power of the U.S. government be administered?” If only they asked themselves, “should this power exist in the first place?

It parallels mine of “What is the Proper Role of Government?”.  If Government exists, per our Declaration of Independence says:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

To secure these rights – and not to trample them.  It is a fact that Progressives / Socialists (one in the same), once attaining that Power, use it to force us to live as they see fit – not as we see fit for ourselves.  Again, what seems to be my morbid question is “why have we let them aggregate this power”?

And now that it has it, what will you do to stop it?
