I posted numerous messages about involuntary servitude cases since Elane Photography first hit the news:
The New Mexico Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment does not protect the owners of a photography studio who refused, because of their Christians beliefs, to serve a lesbian couple.
Jack Phillips won his case in the Supreme Court, but that is not the end of it:
Once the left embraced behavior and sexuality as a civil right, and did so with the full backing of our corrupt media, it was the beginning of the end for the most vital element of American life, that unwritten social compact that so beautifully nutshells the Constitution — the idea of “Live and Let Live.”
For 200-plus years, the idea of live and let live helped to make America the freest nation on earth. Laws were not required to enforce this concept, because we were all raised right – taught that I may not agree with what you do or say, but as long as it doesn’t interfere with my right to do and say, I’ll defend your rights.
NOTE: No plaintiff ‘s lawyer ever fought his client’s case on the grounds of involuntary servitude:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Involuntary servitude aside, it is “Live and Let Live” that caught my attention in John Nolte’s article. That is a topic that television’s media mouths dare not mention.
The conspicuous manner that every organized religion’s true believers have in common is that not a one of them ever practices “Do not bother me and I will not bother you.” Or to use the better-known phrase “Live and Let Live.” Their reason is obvious. Parasites cannot live on tax dollars and also practice live and let live.
I cannot count the number of Bible-thumpers that found my threads in 18 years. Live and let live is the only thing I ever wanted from Bible-thumpers, yet their talking points never included “let live.”
Hanging onto the Second Amendment is the best chance Americans have of holding tyranny at bay. When all of the legal and philosophical arguments have been made CONSTITUTIONALLY-PROTECTED UNREGISTERED GUNS is the muscle that enforces live and let live.
You might ask yourself why Americans are being asked to die fighting tyranny in foreign lands while marching quietly down the road to tyranny in their own country? If you are squeamish about the implications think of unregistered guns as a deterrent busybodies cannot accept.
There is a deeper question that should be asked: Why are Democrats doing it? The simple answer is because they cannot mind their own goddamned business. Eric Hoffer’s great observation applies to Socialists much more than it applies to the followers of Supreme Deity religions:
“To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.”
Organized religions were never a threat to individual liberties in America. Before Socialists began their campaign to install their own religion as the state’s religion no one was forced to join a church, or support a religion not of their own choosing. Freedom of religion —— as it was practiced in America before Socialists infiltrated the highest levels of government —— basically said live and let live. Meddlers abhor the very concept of letting others live their lives as they see fit. Live and let live is their intolerance.
It is not only dirty little moralists exercising political power that is destroying America’s moral fiber. Preventative medicine is more about the healthcare industry’s morality than it is about health. A nation of pill freaks buying prescription drugs to prevent this or that is the highest morality of all. Diet and exercise gurus promising healthier lives are moralists contradicting the pill priesthood if you do not count vitamins as pills.
Preventative medicine is a pharmaceutical industry scam. Drug companies were not making enough money selling drugs to people who were actually sick; so they increased their sales a thousandfold with the preventative medicine con job. The whole thing is a perversion of an “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
It turns out that doctors are worse than drug companies. Doctors aligned themselves with dirty little moralists when they started telling EVERYONE not to smoke. Do not smoke soon became lose weight and exercise. That was not enough. Doctors in Florida told their patients to get rid of their guns.
Question: Doctors scream bloody murder when anybody interferes in the doctor-patient relationship; so
how come doctors do not mind the ACLU getting in-between doctor and patient?
Happily, doctors cannot hide the harm they are doing with their assault on the Second Amendment. So I fear this scenario:
A patient gets rid of his gun on his doctor’s orders. A murderer breaks into the patient’s home and kills the patient’s children because he could not defend himself. The patient sues the doctor. How would you vote if you were on the jury?
In the same vain, Americans must take a long, hard, look at tort reform before those bums in Washington include it in more “healthcare reform.” I do not have much use for lawyers, but lawyers, and they alone, are all that stands between the public and medical industry butchery protected by law.
In short: when I need moral guidance I will go see the Pope not a doctor.
There were propaganda moralists long before the others jumped on the morality bandwagon. Movies and TV shows have always been dirty little morality plays; the Twilight Zone was the worst of them but not by much.
It can be argued that live and let live is also dogma, except that those of us who believe it do not give a rat’s ass how others live, worship, or eat; so long as they leave us alone.
I still have not figured out how forcing others to pay for abortions equals live and let live.
