Character versus Unwarranted Suffering...

Many Christians think that God is the Blessed Controller of All things. This is an absurd proposition. Because humans are the ones who make or break what is in human government.

Our Founders understood that the individual had natural rights, that undergird what we now understand to be human rights. Without these rights, governments, which are forms of leadership oppress individuals.

There seems to be a movement abreast about social conscioussness, social awareness, or collectivism, because this is a way to subvert individual's their right under law.

Government does NOT exist without leadership and leadership should ONLY be given to those who have won the right to lead....and individuals willl vary as to what requirements determine that right of leadership. But, it hinges on TRUST!

The right to leadership is where our values play into our decisions in voting and political engagement. In free societies, we wil all never agree, but we are allowed a 'voice' and rightfully so. If we have been dismissed or have not had a voice, then we are free to move elsewhere or associate with others who are more like-minded. This is what our liberty is about. And our Founders won it for us with the shedding of their blood. We should never take it for granted.

Stand up America for the values of liberty. We cannot allow domination in any form in our leaders. I look forward to seeing what tomorrow may bring when the "tea parties" have had their say!!!

Is There Such a Thing as "Social Justice"?

Social Justice is a universiality of some "moral" determinant. It doesn't define life in various ways of forms of value. It limits life in definition. Thus, it undermines justice, itself!

The moral concerns of poverty, global warming, "the greater good", or other social concerns are various and dependent on personal goals, values, convictions, understandings, vision, gifts, etc. No one should, or can determine these for another individual. Otherwise, there will be oppression, limitation to choice and a hinderance of academic freedom and values clarification.

So, there really is no such thing as "social justice" as a universal. Social justice has to be defined by someone or something, which limits diversity of "voice".
