Hook, Line and Sinker
By Tammy Derouin
The Progressive Left likes to
promote social justice. So what is social justice? Most definitions are pretty similar. Words like fair and just are used to map out
some sort of directive for individuals within a society. It doesn’t take long for the word
distribution to pop up. Distribution of not
only wealth but privileges and opportunities are thrown in the mix. Who would determine what is fair or just
within the society? If you dig a little
deeper a motive begins to emerge. Within
the mumble jumbo of key words and desirable objectives a conspiracy begins to
unfold.
In order for this Utopian quest
to get underway, the population needs to buy into the idea. That’s not too hard. Who wouldn’t agree that people should be
treated fairly and justly? Well, there’s
the proverbial Hook.
Who decides what is fair and just? Who decides how to distribute wealth,
privilege and opportunities? The answer
is very interesting and so very predictable.
Once you’ve accepted the bait, you have been hooked. For a little while you are clueless as you
run the line with your prize. If you
really feel entitled, look up, more bait is dangling, waiting for you to grab
hold. Eventually, you feel the poking
and stabbing pain of the hook. The line
comes to an abrupt end and you get the proverbial Sinker.
Once you’ve been had by the hook,
line and sinker of social justice, the freedom and rights that you thought you
had are gone. You will learn very
quickly who decides your fate and who makes the rules. What is fair and just
are now determined by the government. It’s all part of the big picture. Ignorance is very beneficial to the ruling
party. It helps them establish the power
they need for total control.
Our system of government ensures
an individual’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution spells out those rights even
further by stating what the government cannot do to infringe upon your rights,
while pursuing your happiness.
Happiness is not a
guarantee. The government cannot produce
happiness. If we enforced the
restrictions on the government as outlined in the Constitution, there could,
however, be a lot more happiness among the citizens. Lack of government interference in our
individual lives is what the founders established.
Social justice is a concept used
to gain control. It advertises equal
distribution of wealth, among many other benefits, to slowly strip you of your
rights. It encourages dependency by instilling, subtle hints at first, that you
are not capable of making it on your own.
You cannot possibly know what is best for you. By giving up a little control here and a
right or two there, we are giving the government control of our lives.
What about equal justice under
the law? That is a noble concept and one
that as Americans, we should continue to demand. Without equal justice, we are
at the mercy of the powerful, also known as the government. There shouldn’t be
different standards for different individuals.
The government should not be allowed to protect its own. They should be held to the same
accountability as everyone else.
It is becoming more and more
transparently clear that if you want to live without rules or laws, you become
a Democrat. They have become almost
untouchable as they ride out their scandals high above the law. Is there an agency, a division of the
government that hasn’t bowed to the current administration or the woman who
wishes to become the first American Queen?
Social justice and unequal
justice are prized by the progressive Left.
It would give them unlimited control. It would also give them the three word answer
they so desperately desire, because I can.
Talk about an entitlement. The
Democratic Party would cease to exist if more Americans opened their eyes to
the truth. The more we allow them to get
away with criminal behavior, the more control they will eventually have over
us.
“When more Americans prefer
freebies to freedom, these great United States will become a fertile ground for
tyranny.”
