Statists take a dim view of humanity, likely due to the fact that they don't see people as children of God. Therefore they feel that people must be ruled, and legislated into "good behavior", and punished when they resist the control exerted by a State over their lives and fortunes.
Since the Statist does not acknowledge God as the grantor of natural rights, or the Creator of Man, the perceived vacuum of power must be filled- by the Statist, of course. The Statist perceives that he is better educated, more intelligent, more perceptive, less "superstitious" and better qualified overall to lead the God-fearing savages into Progress. He will force them if necessary. And somehow it is always "necessary" for "the greater good" or "for the children".
I just finished watching "Benito: The Rise and Fall of Mussolini" w/ Antonio Banderas streaming on Netflix. He was a "Statist" and also a right-wing Fascist??? Wait, nope he was just another Socialist... Hmmmm, how common the reality that the worlds biggest murderers throughout history were all Socialist and/or Communists w/ basically the same class warfare "Populist" economic positions of saying they are for the unions and poor working men all the while just being another Tyrant. While thrusting all their naive citizens into the bottomless pit of poverty. Love your site, very well done. Another gem found from a commentor from the Breitbart site. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteOne more observation. Obama and his ilk all have the same attraction to the naive uneducated poor as they are able to hide their greed and appear, at quick glance, to not be greedy. Don't be fooled they get their money in the end through crony capitalism, cronyism, and corruption. Often money isn't handed them directly from the big corporations but in the end they get paid tenfold. Manila envelopes, donations, and a piece of every transaction. It is a pyramid scheme that defrauds the working people and encourages all to work as slow as the laziest of their co-workers just like unions. Without liberty there is no motivation to be exceptional and we will all become a cog in a stalled economic socialist system. Without self respect and individualism with its competative reward system (capitalism) there is no reason to stand out or work hard. Hmmm, tried to edit the comment (spelling error) but deleted it. Would be nice to be able to edit comments if you can add that, or did I miss the option. Take care Pincher!
