Pres. Obama: 'Rights, What Are They Good For?'


"What kind of country would this be if this Chamber had voted down Social Security or Medicare just because it violated some rigid idea about what government could or could not do? How many Americans would have suffered as a result?" -President Barack Obama, September 8, 2011


Mr. President, you have sworn to uphold, defend, and protect the Constitution of the United States, a document recognizing the individual rights of human beings and thus "subordinating society to moral law."1


You have just recanted that oath. Individual rights are not some "rigid idea;" they are moral principles. A government that is not limited to the role of protecting individual rights becomes a violator of those rights. You have just stated that it is perfectly fine for governments to violate the rights of their citizens. You are both wrong and immoral. Ideas and rhetoric such as this only leads people towards the gas chambers. 


It's quite telling of you, Mr. President, to openly admit that welfare programs are a violation of rights, only to then declare support and approval for them. This fact makes you one thing and one thing only: a tyrant.


It's time to wake up, Mr. President. Americans ARE suffering! And their suffering is a direct result of invasive policies that have utterly trampled and obstructed their freedom to action, their unalienable rights. Their shared suffering is a direct result of a call for "shared sacrifice" through more welfare statism. When you spread the wealth around, you spread the suffering as well. How can you honestly believe you have the moral high ground?


May November 6, 2012 go down in history as the day America came to her senses.
