The Whole Great Family of Man

 

When the Republican Party was founded in the 1850s it was noted that it was a classic fusion party, a party made up of disparate elements, Whigs, Free Soilers, Anti-slavery Democrats, etc, brought together by a common belief that slavery was an evil.  Throughout its existence the Republican Party has retained that characteristic of a gathering of disparate elements with common beliefs, usually centered heavily in the principles of the Founding Fathers.  The Democrats on the other hand have always been a gathering together of disparate interest groups, brought together for a share of the pie to be had by controlling the government.  This of course is a broad strokes look at both parties, but overall down through the generations the patterns are clear enough.  The Republican Party has always prospered when it has remained close to what Lincoln said in this classic speech:

These communities, by their representatives in old  Independence Hall, said to the whole world of men: “We  hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are  created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with  certain unalienable rights; that among these are life,  liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” This was their majestic  interpretation of the economy of the Universe. This was their  lofty, and wise, and noble understanding of the justice of  the Creator to His creatures. [Applause.] Yes, gentlemen, to  all His creatures, to the whole great family of man. In their  enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the Divine image and  likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded,  and imbruted by its fellows. They grasped not only the whole  race of man then living, but they reached forward and seized  upon the farthest posterity. They erected a beacon to guide  their children and their children’s children, and the countless  myriads who should inhabit the earth in other ages. Wise  statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity  to breed tyrants, and so they established these great  self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man,  some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that  none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life,  liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look  up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to  renew the battle which their fathers began — so that truth,  and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues  might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would  hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles  on which the temple of liberty was being built.

Abraham Lincoln, August 17, 1858

KIDNAPPING BY THE STATE
When the court makes a ward of a minor child without first presenting evidence that disqualifies the natural parents from being the first nurturers of a minor child, whom they have brought into being, it is kidnapping by the state of a minor child and taxation without representation of the natural parents.
To avoid this condemnation of the government. The government’s intention must be in the best interest of the minor child. The child has sovereign personhood, innocence and is dependent upon his family and his government to safeguard his innocence, his Life and his Liberty. These are the legacy and the duty of all sovereign persons who institute the government, constitute the government, our Constitution and our nation.
Parents of the minor child, his first nurturers, must be informed of the government’s intention to impose political power agendas to circumvent the child’s civil rights. No parental consent is kidnapping by the state and taxation without representation.
When the government adopts anti-scientific agendas to control the population instead of protecting and serving the people, the government violates the sacred trust of the people.
In Soylent Green the government was feeding the people with the dead bodies of those who died. The government’s responsibility was to inform their citizens, their constituents, that the food was dead bodies. In this the people could use their free will and choose with such information and respect that the government owes to its constituents.
It appears that some individual would invent a better way when informed of the problem. Individuals with living souls are not without divine Providence Who will see us through all hardships.
In some situations the people may be forced to eat their dead but they do not have to like it. So, they ought to know.
KINGS IN A NATION OF KINGS
God wanted His Chosen People to be a sovereign nation of sovereign persons as God creates all men in sovereign personhood.
Anarchy? Sovereign persons follow God, His Commandments and His precepts.
It does matter that persons follow the King of Kings. Peace on earth to men of good will. Jesus Christ said that only God is good.

Thank you, Donald McClarey.
When great men speak, it is the ringing of the Liberty Bell.
