right words. Our zombie must know who is it's master. It would be
nothing without me. The zombie must react and go for the right causes.
Everything that I have trained this Zombie from it's conception, it
must follow.
What is it that I am talking about? Did I get really excited about
the book of Frankenstein. NO!
I've been reading a book called "Vindicating the Founders." This book
defends the founders and why they did what they did. Kind of sad that
there is a sect of people (a lot of times it feels like a big sect)
that say that the founders are hypocrites. Well, this book (obvious
by the title) is a defense of the founders and why did and believed
what they did. In this book, I was reading of the defense of the
rights of property that the founders enacted (this is a long lengthy
discussion that would bore you to tears).
But in this dissertation about property and property rights, the
author talks about liberals. Many times in college, the professors
really stress that the founders were called liberals back in their
day, and indeed they were. However, think of the principles that they
were fighting for. If they knew that the name liberal would mean what
it means today with abortion and gay rights, they would not have
wasted a breath calling themselves that.
Well, this section in "Vindicating the founders" was drawing the
difference between old and new liberals. There really is a
distinction between the 2. John Dewey came up with this distinction.
He said that man has no inherit gifts. In other words man is not good
at anything by himself. No one is naturally good at music, math,
english, or speaking. These are things that are cultivated and made
inside a person. This is done more by environment than God giving it
to a person. He believes that because of this and in order to make a
perfect human being or society that Governments need to be a welfare
state from the cradle to the grave. In other words, The government is
in control of a person born in the country from the time that it is
born until the person dies. That person becomes a product of the
government. THe government cultivates inside that person who they
want that person to be. this reminds me of all those sci-fi movies
and books that talk of a perfect society where all identity is lost.
(west, vindicating)
Not only that. Where is God in all of this???? Where is the room for
God to be the creator, savior and boss of someone's life???? In this
nation, there is no natural or divine standards leading mankind in the
right way as West says in his book.
Listen to this! This is what is guiding the liberals of today. NO
room for God???? We have all ready seen this become a great plague in
the US with Christians being to afraid to stand up for God or what's
right!
If you look closely at the beliefs of this liberal movement, you can
see where a lot of the ideas for liberals today come from today.
So be aware! make sure you know what you are voting for and
supporting. Is it supporting your savior?
On a side note, John Dewey was one of the creators and supporters of
Public education. Kind of makes sense with what he believed with the
cradle to the grave society. And remember his vision was to create
and mold a people into what the government thinks they should be. Hm,
what an interesting note....
