To Hell with the Consent of the Governed???

I am given to understand from the public pronouncements of leftist politicians, as well as from many of my leftist acquaintances, that the leftists believe that by achieving one or more legislative majorities, and by other majoritarian measures such as circumvention of the Electoral College or as packing of the Supreme Court, they will be able to give our Nation a "new system" for which they have been waiting since ... well, since the early 20th Century.

To these leftists, there is no difference between reducing the taxes stolen from productive citizens and compelling those citizens, at gunpoint, to do things they do not wish to do.  In this belief they are planning to play with fire.  Recall what our forefathers wrote almost 250 years ago:

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, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. 

The various plans of the leftists ... such as gun registration, followed naturally by confiscation, crippling taxation, confiscation of privately owned gasoline powered automobiles, forced remodeling of homes and other businesses, compelling citizens to allow government bureaucrats to decide what medical services they may and may not receive, et cetera et cetera et cetera ad nauseam ... have no place for "the consent of the governed."

My happiness is derived from my liberty.  I have a limited lifespan and very much enjoy the power to make my own decisions about how to expend that crucial and very personal resource.

Anyone who believes that having achieved a majority allows them to rape and pillage the rest of the productive citizens of our Nation risks awakening much more than a sleeping giant.  I sincerely hope the leftists do not attempt this, but plans like the "Green New Deal" will if enacted awaken not only giants but Gods and Demons.  I hope my kids don't have to live through a revolution, especially not one born of the illiberal, fascist wet-dreams of the authoritarian and despotic left.

Wise up, fools, before you ignite something you cannot extinguish.
