In our system of justice, based upon the First Principles set forth in our founding (the DoI), government cannot FORCE responsibility, it can only penalize irresponsibility.
But the 'progressives' see it as exactly the opposite; force responsibility by unconstitutional burdens on the people, and excuse irresponsibility, particularly if the guilty party is a minority.
In the last 100 or so years, the 'progressives' have had much success in excising our First Principles from our national ethos. In his July 4th speech, Woodrow Wilson stated that to consider the DoI, we must first set aside the 'preamble'. This must be reversed, and quickly, or Kruschev's promise of communist victory by the acquiescence of our own people will come to pass. |
