Democrats Believe in Totalitarian Government
For all their screaming and hollering about “democracy,” the Democratic Party of today believes in totalitarian government. And I’m going to prove it in this article. Most rank-and-file members of the party are truly ignorant of this matter, but it is the logical implications of what they believe.
Again, to quote Senator Tim Kaine’s recent statement on the source of human rights: “The notion that rights don't come from laws, and don't come from the government, but come from the Creator...That's what the Iranian government believes. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” This is a statement of totalitarian government. To Tim Kaine, the Declaration of Independence is “extremely troubling.” No, Democratic Party ideology is what is ”extremely troubling”—not to mention very frightening because this ideology has been the source of hundreds of millions of innocent deaths in the past 100 years, and the tyrannizing, oppression, and enslavement of billions more. Yet, I seriously doubt that Tim Kaine understands the implications of the “our rights come from government” doctrine. At least, I hope he doesn’t. He’s evil, by definition—he’s a Democratic Senator. But if he truly understands what he said in the quote above, he’s not only evil, he’s a monster.
Thomas Jefferson, in the founding document of our nation (the “Declaration of Independence”) said, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that their Creator endows them with certain unalienable Rights….” Our rights come from our Creator, something Tim Kaine EXPLICITLY denied in his statement. Thus, he EXPLICITLY denied the principles upon which America was founded. We’ve known for a long time that Democrats don’t believe in the founding principles of America, but for one of them to come out and EXPLICITLY say so is almost astounding. The sad thing is, most Democratic Party leaders agree with him, and most rank-and-file Democratic Party members probably don’t care enough to think it through and understand what it means.
Kaine said that our rights come from “laws and government” (in effect, the same thing, because it is government that makes the laws). It is a statement of totalitarian government. It is exactly what the Chinese Communists, and every other totalitarian government, believe. Let me demonstrate that.
America is supposed to have a “limited government.” Kaine and Democrats might even SAY they believe that. But if the government gives us all our rights, then who limits the power of the government? Who tells the government what it is limited to, who tells the government what “rights” it can give us? Who limits the power of government? Well, Kaine would probably have to say that the people do, but who gives the people the right to limit the power of government? If he says the Constitution limits government, then I ask, who interprets the Constitution if not government? If our rights come from the government, then it is the government that gives the people (or the Constitution) the right to limit the powers of government! But if the government gives rights, then the government can take them away—any “right” a government grants by its fiat and mercy can be repealed. So, if the government gives the people the “right” to limit the power of government, then the government can take away the people's right to limit the power of government. There is thus no true limitation on the power of government. THAT is totalitarianism. THAT is what Tim Kaine argued for. THAT is what today’s Democratic Party believes.
Kaine then tried to compare the Declaration of Independence with Iran—rights that come from a Creator is what the Iranian government believes. No, it is not. I would argue most vociferously that Jesus and Christianity teach freedom of religion, something Islamic Sharia law does not teach. America is not a theocracy like Iran is. Iran is theoretically ruled by Sharia law. Allah (not Jehovah, they are two VERY different gods) gives the law. That is not what our founding fathers set up. Iranian Sharia law is diametrically opposed to Christianity. Jesus never forced anybody to believe in him. He always gave people a choice, and that's what the American government does. To say that American rights are like Iranian rights is as false, as deceptive, as big a lie as it can possibly be, because Iran is a theocracy and Jesus NEVER taught that.
But Kaine is trying to compare our Founders’ idea of rights coming from a Creator with the barbicans in Iran because Kaine wants the government to have all power. He wants the government, not the Judeo-Christian God, to be the source of Americans’ rights. Kaine and the Democratic Party want a totalitarian government. Period.
According to our Founders, government, in the American system, is designed to protect our God-given rights. That is NOT the purpose of government in the Iranian system (or Democrats’). The government of Iran ultimately defines what law is in that country, and thus, in Iran, too, the government is the source of the people’s rights. That government is totalitarian. Tim Kaine has no clue what he is talking about.
But then, what Kaine wants to do is what Democrats have been trying to do for a long time now—undermine the principles our Founding Fathers established America upon so that they can morph America into a Chinese/Marxist-style totalitarian government.
To our Founding Fathers, to those who believe in our founding principles, our rights come from God. But America is not a totalitarian theocracy. God tells people what they should do. And He tells them what will happen if they don't—they will not inherit the kingdom of God. But Jesus (unlike Allah) never forces anyone to obey him. There is no virtue in forced obedience.
It is the Democratic Party, not Christians, who want to force Americans into obedience to a higher power. And to Democrats, that higher power is…government. Totalitarian government.
