You Cannot Be Free if You Cannot be Moral and Just

“If we are too weak to take charge of our own morality, we shall not be strong enough to take charge of our own liberty.” – Calvin Coolidge​

Uh, yes we do care what "the adults" are doing. Private behavior has public consequences. Perversion becomes pervasive when it is permissible.

I listened to a speech from a Democratic candidate. He talked about “liberty,” and how Republicans don’t really explain what they mean by liberty. This candidate then continued to define what the Democratic Party thinks of liberty: abortion on demand, any time on the taxpayer’s dime. Fully funding government institutions, even if they are not effective or competent. The freedom to marry anyone you want, whether the same sex or the opposite sex.

This candidate had a point: liberty is not something we define very well, and the fact that we fail to do so means that we will struggle in our fight for protecting marriage and the family.

Liberty is freedom from the restraint of the state? Yes and no.

You cannot be free if you are not alive.

You cannot be free if you are in bondage to destructive behaviors, either.

You cannot claim to be free if you are depriving other people of their freedom, too.

Where does liberty come from? Who are you, who am I to say that I should be free?

The Declaration of Independence answers that question:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Life is the first right listed. If you are not alive, how can you be free.

If the behaviors that you promote undermine society and harm other people, whether in the short term or the long term, then we have another problem, don’t we?

Consider what the United States Constitution says about liberty:

“"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Establishing justice comes first. Liberty is mentioned, but later on. It’s not the first thing, and it’s mentioned as a BLESSING, which means that liberty has a divine origin.

Liberty is not something that man could come up with. Liberty is a result of revelation and released into the community via reason. Not reason alone, but in subjection to revelation.

Regarding LGBT behaviors and ideologies, it is inherently unjust to:

1.       Deprive children of their natural parents.

2.       Promote sexual licentiousness, which undermine bonds of honor and fealty

3.       Expand venereal disease and other dysfunctions

4.       Promote lies and force others to adopt and accommodate those lies.

The LGBT agenda at its very core is not just unconstitutional but anti-constitutional. It’s not about promoting liberty for more people, but depriving liberty from many and according privilege to the few.
