NH State Rep Leigh Webb (D): “The role of government is to legislate behavior“
And yet, from our Declaration of Independence (in part):
… 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 [which originally was “the pursuit of Property -Skip]. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men…
Even a Brit understands this American foundational philosophy better than NH State Rep. Leigh Webb – the freedom to Be Left Alone by government. When Government legislates behavior, especially in this regard, it no longer is the public servant. The essence of what the Founding Fathers fought for – to cast off an tyrannical government hellbent on deciding how the colonists were to “behave”. Yet, here we are again, where Progressive legislators believe that is their mandate and throw off the Freedom that was given to us.
