  • Rights don’t come from government or god. The USA based their form of government on the idea of “natural rights.” These rights are inherent in human beings. They are the default.

    We give the government the power to restrict those rights in order for everyone to get along and thrive. The government does not grant rights. We let the government restrict or strip those rights under certain circumstances.

    I’ve never heard of progressivism denying natural rights.

    He’s trying to put religion above the State. The State, in a democracy, is the people. Fucker wants a theocracy.





  • You have to understand that there are places in the USA where “city planning” is completely unheard of. They seem to let landowners develop however the fuck they want. They end up with grids of identical houses with little thought of connections to services such as shopping, healthcare, recreation, etc.






  • But, they’re (two authors) also wrong. The US is not insolvent. The treasury report did not say It was insolvent. For a country to be insolvent it would have to be unable or unwilling to pay its debts.

    The article relies on readers not understanding how government financials work. They use a household metaphor which is completely irrelevant.

    The article is propaganda pushing the “we need balanced budget” narrative which is a ridiculous way to run a government.

    No one said being wasteful is a good thing. This article is not about how much or where money should be spent. They want to push a narrative that the government spends more than it can afford. This is false.

    The real aim is to limit government spending on entitlements, social programs, arts, sciences, etc.
