Government, (best conceived of by Albert Einstein as the largest collectively-owned insurance company) is a great idea if and when it doesn't compete with (much less pre-empt) private enterprise; it's OK for the government to buy food to feed the poor, but not to demand that only it is qualified to regulate food growing everywhere, much less to restrict and deny private individuals from growing or stockpiling their own food. Same goes for defending every other need: government can defend the country, but not restrict the citizens' rights to also own and bear their own arms to defend them selves; government can and should enhance private defense, but never replace it!
And it's based on individual property rights and people's free-will choice to associate with others:
People have rights to freely associate and form insurance companies, and to restrict others within their own properties to, say, buy insurance while therein.
Our only real right is to not be attacked first, and our only real responsibility is to not attack others first.
Beyond that, we need government to counter-attack second, because we also have a right not to do so our selves, otherwise we would be enslaved to the criminals' whims and schedules.
As a collective whole, however, we do have a responsibility to counter-attack second (to hold trials and sentence punishments) if only because the chance of being caught is more of a deterrent than fear of the amount of stated prescribed punishment.
So as usual we have an individual right, but really only a collective responsibility, to defensively counter-attack.
Government, in giving away our money to "foreign aid" is failing in its main duty to be our insurance company. However, such controversial schemes are usually billed as "War-Prevention Insurance" to help our allies in order to help them to ultimately contribute to defending us too. So it's a toss-up.
And ditto by being able to borrow money from banks. Just as when the real, lesser insurance companies were illegally permitted to be owned by banks, by the bank-bribed politicians (that's a massive interest conflict, because insurance companies try to keep rates down by reducing risks and refusing to insure risky people, while banks actually profit most from issuing reconstruction loans for destruction-caused disasters and crimes)!
But as an insurance company, govt IS enforced victimology: taking from the able to give to the (hopefully only temporarily) disabled victims.
After a while, though, and based on the fallacy of modern education, which seeks to discover why, not how, people do the things they do, it's ever-expanding list of who constitutes a victim class now includes "everybody!" and even those who are physically able, yet unwilling to work, are classified as being "depressed" and suffering from "mental illness" (as being helpless victims of their own mysterious yet somehow also inevitably-forced emotions)!
This is how individualism becomes collectivism - as if deferring one's free-will rights and responsibilities to self-determination over to a group or gang of equally fallible humans pretending to be superior "authorities" has ever, will ever, or can ever really work out in the real world! How is a gang of victims less so than only one?! They're not - the gang simply increases their extortion powers while simultaneously diluting their personal responsibility! "Victim-based" reparations extortion is still slavery.
Government is not supposed to exist to "redistribute wealth" (steal) from Makers to give to Takers.
It is not supposed to exist to enforce an equality of outcome over an equality of opportunity, nor even to redress past inequalities of opportunity caused by individuals or groups by extorting reparations today.
Even those blacks who were sold by their own brethren to the American whites, have been more than justly compensated because what they lost was being a slave in Africa, and now their descendants are US citizens.
So in reality, ALL governments, both secular and religious, are exercises in slander - in making laws and issuing warnings which pre-judge their citizens as guilty until never proven innocent, and they also all emphasize how nobody has any rights to self-defense, but only the responsibility to defer all of their rights to government; in effect, you only have the rightful responsibility to become and remain their slaves. This never changes. New laws always take away more rights, they never grant us new ones.
So, on to Bob's take on all this:
Discrimination is liberty
Statist politicians — which means essentially all of them — believe or claim to believe they can legislate equality. As long as there have been governments, politicians have been dividing people into groups in order to pit them against each another as they squabble for government handouts, favors and special privileges all the while claiming they want equality.Government panders to these groups, granting them a special status as minorities and providing them with extravagant subsidies. Minorities respond because they are conditioned to do so. Subsidies and racism and every form "otherism" are subtle forms of economic warfare between the middle class and minorities. All is a masquerade for the benefit of a wicked political system. This Machiavellian strategy divides the masses and provides cover for the government crime syndicate.
Since at least the 1970s, Washington congressweasels have been promoting the shibboleth that if one group or the other has a perceived disadvantage in outcomes, then government must step in to ensure that everyone attains equal results.
The politicians and government men believe, or claim to believe, that if all of their "groups" don't have equal outcomes then something other than hard work, intelligence and seizing opportunities presented must be culpable. It needs bugbears to blame, and chief among them is "discrimination."
The doctrine of equality and fraternity as a doctrine of liberty, as promoted during the French Revolution and as pushed by the government today, is a myth, a fiction and a self-evident contradiction. It is impossible to have liberty and equality. Yet, the unthinking masses still today accept this as the foundation of American democracy.
On the contrary, the concept of human
equality is basic to the destruction of human liberty.
Equality is the organism of racism and "otherism" as promoted by the government. Its purpose is the opposite of human liberty. It is the systematic subversion of human liberty. Further and deeper conclusions are that when we hold two contradictory thoughts such as liberty and equality, the result is double mindedness and unstable thinking (see James 1:8; "... a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.") leading to greater receptivity to the power of suggestion.
("Double-mindedness" aka "cognitive dissonance" etc is also known as "hypocrisy" and "schizo-phrenia")!
The closer we come to total acceptance of the doctrine of human equality, the closer we come to slavery. In reality, human equality is an impossibility in the real world. As an instrument of government propaganda, it is the perfect organism.
I'd have said it's the perfect "tool" to induce slavery - but whatever; Bob's on a good roll today!
Politicians and government men will tell you that if they can only end discrimination, then everyone would have equality.
Democrats are now advancing a bill called the Equality Act.
As with all government bills, this one does the exact opposite of what it claims.
It would modify existing civil rights legislation to ban discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, education, federal programs and credit.
It would also essentially rescind the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and require Christian churches and organizations to accommodate the mental illness and debauchery of the LGBQT crowd in their wickedness and the transgender crowd in their mental illness — a blatant assault on religious liberty.
Whenever a group or class of people is given special "rights" (which aren't really rights, but privileges), the real natural rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are turned on their ears and shoved down the memory hole. In other words, the rights of the one are secondary to the "rights" of the other simply because one subgroup of individuals has been granted special privileges that never before existed.
The freedom to discriminate is essential to liberty. It is not the role of government to determine which discrimination is acceptable and which is not — or to enforce its own form of discrimination to correct another. Though, historically, that is precisely what's occurred.
Psycho-paths ("thought-killers," by definition) hate scary painful thinking - both in them selves, and in all others!
You discriminate every day of your life in everything you do.
You discriminated when you chose your neighborhood and your house. You discriminated when you chose your job. You discriminated when you chose your church — or when you made the decision to not attend church at all.
You discriminate when you choose your friends. You discriminate when you choose your doctor (or did before Obamacare), your barber, your travel agent. You discriminate when you choose your insurance agent, your auto repair shop, your in-home security monitor, your pest-control service.
You discriminate when you choose which movie to watch, which book to read, which electronic device to buy, which show to watch, which sporting team to follow. You discriminate in your choice of beer. You discriminate in your choice of car: American or foreign.
Life in a free country is about being free to make choices, choices based on your own criteria rather than one mandated by the state. Don't like fried chicken? Stay out of KFC. Don't like pizza? Avoid Pizza Hut. Don't care for seafood? Red Lobster isn't the only restaurant in town. Denny's gave you lousy service? Stay away… and tell your friends.
Don't like how Walmart compensates its workers? Buy your cheap Chinese junk from Target or Kmart — or the local mom and pop store — and your groceries from Publix or Kroger.
Don't like it that Chick-fil-A's president supports traditional marriage? Buy your chicken sandwich from Burger King. They've gone all in on "gay pride." Don't like that HGTV's Chip and Joanna Gaines attend a church that defends traditional marriage? Change your channel. There are probably 175 more on your dial.
Don't like Muslims? Stay out of the Middle East, mosques, Louis Farrakhan rallies and U.S. prisons — and Deerbornistan, Michigan.
Sorry Bob, but it's not that simple. Muslims are Qur'an-commanded to invade and conquer everywhere. Since islam is a global crime-and-murder
gang, assisting it by importing its gangsters and covering up its criminal commandments in the media, is to be a willing criminal accessory.
Don't like Jews? Stay out of Israel, New York (especially the diamond district), Massachusetts, California and synagogues.
Don't like kids? Avoid day cares, schools and playgrounds. And don't have unprotected sex.
Don't like blacks? Move to Montana, Vermont or Idaho. There aren't many there.
Don't like whites? Move to Detroit; Jackson, Mississippi; Miami Gardens, Florida; Birmingham, Alabama; Baltimore; or Memphis, Tennessee. You will see some, but they'll be the minority.
That's discrimination. It's also called liberty, freedom of choice and, in the concept of natural law, freedom of association as guaranteed in the 1st Amendment.
And, don't forget, "pattern recognition" - essential to letting our brains function naturally!
Of course, America's no longer free. It just has the trappings and name of a free country.
Yours for the truth,Bob Livingston
