Early in my formation, Rich Mullins taught me the cost and passion of freedom more than anyone else.
“It’s okay to be lonely as long as you’ve free.”
The virtues of freedom ring more true than ever. And the costs are higher. And we are given a daily challenge to stand what we should stand for. Without freedom, love itself is crumbles. Freedom first because freedom has a purpose.
Our country doesn’t allow personal partnerships to reduce income tax penalties, unless you are married. So we rearranged marriage laws to include different kinds of partnerships. Gay marriage is necessary if one wants the tax benefits.
But would it be better to just be rid of the arbitrary thing called “income tax” than the morally grounded thing called “marriage”?…
Here’s where we went wrong:
First, we wrongly believed sexual desire meant love.
.
This is unquestioned today. But sexual desire isn’t love. It’s just an appetite. Many relationships have been built with appetite (falling in and out of attraction) as the foundation. Because of this “love is love” became the meaning and purpose of marriage. Wrong premise. Wrong conclusion. Marriage is for procreation. Disagree all you want. But think harder about this before you do…
At @voiceofthe2nd I pursue and celebrate freedom because it has a purpose. That purpose is to live a good life toward a moral authority larger than govt, mob, or neighbor. That’s what freedom is for…
Do a web search of Labor Day founders, events that preceded it, and national and international communist beliefs that influenced it. You’ll be enlightened and wonder why this these 19th century fashions remain a thing. Did you know your BBQ celebrates communist roots…
Governments don’t have natural rights. They are social constructs. When govt does not serve to protect the moral and natural rights of people, it is disqualified as a legal organization.
Private property is an individual right, ESPECIALLY income and housing. Therefore income and property taxes are wrong….
This is a tough one for many. The modernist experiment attempted to arrive at human and moral value (ethics, rights) with reason alone. That experiment failed as the attachment to 19th century naturalism grew and reached its logical ends in irrational postmodernity. The Founders knew that a culture that lacked a Creator who followed the rules of reason and infused value into the human person would lead to chaos…
Gun rights don’t exist. Guns have no rights. All rights for self-defense belongs to things that have a self: people….
The postmodern globalism of the last 75 years is in decline. Those who have built their lives upon its “inevitable progress” are straining to keep their power as they accelerate their dismantling of cultural institutions, human autonomy, and national identities. “The end of democracy!” Apocalyptic scare tactics that turn their neighbors into devils is all they have left…
“Democracy” is just an excuse to pretend governance must be through public opinion rather than natural law and natural rights. Therefore, if public opinion can exploit the voting system, Marxism can transition to removing voting altogether in the name of equity. The next step then is removing dissidents because equity means agreement. Then there is no competition as the Party Leader ensures none…
Cold fusion. Flying cars. Cheap and natural medicine. Cleaner air. More efficient self-defense tools. Happy populace. Stronger, healthier, wealthier communities and local businesses.
We underestimate the heavy burdens govt places on innocent people…
“This restroom may be used by any person” is sufficient for a single stall bathroom. E.B. White would face palm the poor grammar. The rest is just announcing your team, HR dept regulations, and allegiance to a globalist financial agenda to destroy science and family….
