Is this an amendment to the Constitution that we should support?
" It is the primary purpose of this national government to provide domestic tranquility by reducing risk. This risk may be physical or it may be fiscal. In order to fulfill this sacred obligation, the national government shall be deemed to have sufficient power to eliminate threats from the environment through regulation, and to eliminate threats from economic uncertainty through insurance."
Theodore Lowi, a political science eminence of Cornell University, claims that this is already in effect.
1. This is the was socialist regime's function.
Leftist governments infantilize their citizenry. They promise to take care of the electorate from cradle to grave. The Welfare State inhibits the maturation of youth into responsible adults.
In earlier times, the view of males was to earn a living and use same to support a wife and family.
Obama: "if you're a young adult, you can stay on your parent's health insurance policy until you are 26." So much for the view of being independent at the age of 21. Bet there would be applause if he had announced 'until 36!'
This is what the Liberal Welfare State encourages: dependence.
So....where are all the men? Ask the Liberals what happened to them.
Now, youre an adult, a 20-something and some stranger opens the door for you OK, thanks. But when that becomes every day, and they insist on sweeping the path to your car as well shouldnt you start to as ask yourself What the heck does this person want from me?
They want to make you happy according to their definition your whole life. Thats Liberalism.
And it starts at school breakfasts for your children ..
2. From Brad Thor's novel, "The Last Patriot."
" Up until the 1950s, American children yearned for adulthood. When their time came to be adults they stepped into the role proudly, leaving childhood behind and taking up the mantles of responsibility, honor, and dignity. They embraced and championed the ideals of those who came before them while valiantly tackling new ideas and problems that their families, communities and nations faced. Those days were long gone.
Americans now shunned adulthood, preferring to remain in a state of perpetual adolescence. By failing to move forward with grace and dignity, they left a gaping hole in American society. They treated relationships like disposable lighters, tossing marriages away when they ran out of gas. Children were left without families, and even worse, they were left without adults who could be role models of responsible behavior.
With this lack of willingness to seep forward and embrace adulthood, the nation had lost sight of its core values and ideals. In its place had morphed an 'every man and woman for himself' mentality in which materialism was placed before spirituality and submission to God."
3. This is what Leftist governments do to their populace. When political operatives advocate doing something for the children one can see the tendency to make children out of the citizenry.
a. Vice President Al Gore said the government should act like grandparents in the sense that grandparents perform a nurturing role. Cult of the Presidency
b. Denton Walthall, who asked a question in the second presidential debate in 1992. Referring to voters as "symbolically the children of the future president," he asked how voters could expect the candidates "to meet our needs, the needs in housing and in crime and you name it, as opposed to the wants of your political spin doctors and your political parties. How town-hall debates can go very wrong for a candidate.
4. Alexis de Tocqueville, writing Democracy in America in the 1830s, described an immense, tutelary power, which takes sole charge of assuring their enjoyment and of watching over their fate.
As he predicted, this power is absolute, attentive to detail, regular, provident, and gentle, and it works willingly for their happiness, but it wishes to be the only agent and the sole arbiter of that happiness. It provides for their security, foresees and supplies their needs, guides them in their principal affairs, directs their industry, regulates their testaments, divides their inheritances.
It is entirely proper to ask, as he asked, whether it can relieve them entirely of the trouble of thinking and of the effort associated with living.
5. Prior to the 20th century, Congress was considered the apex of the American political system, but today many believe the President to be more akin to the king or religious leader described by Frazer in The Golden Bough. He must be the great father, the miracle worker, and the fulfiller of all wants.
Liberals swoon at the charisma of an Obama or a John F. Kennedy.
a. Obama supporter Peggy Joseph:
I never thought this day would ever happen. I wont have to worry about putting gas in my car. I wont have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, hes gonna help me.
b. Obama: "This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal."
The expectation of a godlike President who can or should solve all of our problems reinforces the central impulse of Liberalism, to politicize and control more and more of private life, always expanding the power of government.
