3 Liberal Norms with Questionable Origins

Quite often, people are criticized because they oppose progressive causes. Many have come to believe these programs will benefit society, but they forget the corrupt historical roots and precedents involved.

Because of this, it makes sense that we should look at the following three planks of today's liberal agenda and compare them to their counterparts that existed under horrible regimes of the past.

1. Gun Control

Joyce Rosenwald, of usa-the-republic.com, writes: "As a result of the 1928 Law, all firearms and firearms owners were registered. To take firearms from anyone they distrusted, the Nazis simply did not renew permits... [they] could now easily confiscate all firearms and ammunition from any, or all, selected groups. The gun law of 1928 had served the Nazis well. It made almost all law abiding firearms owners known to the authorities. The 1928 law on firearms and ammunition helped destroy democracy in Germany, by disarming the law abiding majority..."

In the United States, it is also the law-abiding citizens whose freedoms are threatened by well-meaning but delusional people, who actually believe that rendering honest people helpless will bring the criminal element under control.

2. Defiance of the Right to Life

In the world of tyranny, Jewish people and others were considered sub-human by an arbitrary standard. In the world of the free, the yet-do-be-born are also considered not to be living souls by an arbitrary belief.

Many within the medical and scientific communities argue that life begins at conception. Since there is so much controversy, why can't the benefit of the doubt be granted, and why can't we "err" on the side life?

Both belief systems appear to be rooted denial, with stubborn or selfish motives involved. For an overview about abortion, please read my article, "Convenience Abortion: A Choice for Wrongdoing."

3. Restrictions on Freedom of Speech

Under the system that overtook Germany, one could be greatly penalized for speaking the truth. Because of socialism in our land, much free speech has also been eliminated. If you don't believe this, try placing an ad in your local paper using the wordage of your choice. The newspaper company will inform you of the small amount of free speech you actually have.

There have also been numerous attempts to enact a so-called "Fairness Doctrine," which is nothing more than an attempt to silence those broadcasting reality over the airwaves.

There are other examples of how liberal programs come from dubious beginnings, but these three represent the most flagrant examples of what jeopardize the rights of the innocent today.
