In fact, he rejects it. And this: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. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. ~ Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence
Someone told me that conservatives and evangelical Christians don't vote, and they don't vote in high percentages. According to several sources, 'progressives' make up less than 30% of the American population. (It used to be 25%, but I digress.) If that is true, then all we need to do to end tyranny in this country is show up on election day! Holy socks, Batman! This isn't Dancing With The Stars, or American Idol. Our liberty and prosperity -- and future generations' -- depends on us getting this right next time. Show up and vote!When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed. ~ Ayn Rand
