Social Security as we Know it today was established in 1935. The reference to 1913 was the begining of the general religious mind set application.

EDITOR — WOW !   Thank you forr all that you do here — SO APROPRIATE for today.

Wafflere, spoken like a true socialist that hates nature's fiscal law, indifidual sovereignty, liberty and prosperity to the many. How socialist of you to try and change the meaing of words to justify your preferred tyranny and desptism.

Waffler, "yes", that is one accurate metaphor. Those pro-slavery, Woke theocratic caste system, second plank of the communist manifesto, tyranny and antithetical to individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty, personal prosperity, justice and nature's law are well described by the metaphor.

Tupper was a great guy and his book: "Miracle on Main Street" easily, self explanatory. 

That is a great depiction of the actions / scenario of the lying dog face pony soldier that is now destroying a once sought after republican form of government.

One's own self preservation would be more accurate. Exposing far less has had extreme dire consequences — just ask Vince Foster.

Robert, WHAT? ? ? hahahaha lolololol You know I'm laughing out loud while shaking my lowered head ! ! !  I do have to agree with you — the "true liberal" during the founders period was ANTI-socialist (including the "Woke" religion of today, fascism, communism and collectivism of any/all types) — along with - "Democracy" ("Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for supper, liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote." — (attributed to Benjamin Franklin)) and, pro-nature's law ("a republican form of government" (Article IV, Section 4 U.S. Constitution) The system you mention that is rotten to the core and corrupted; and, as Calhoun here references, "combined in one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks.” (SVP for 1 example) is truly an atrocity to humanity and is antithetical to the individual sovereign (individually and in concert).

That philosophy may describe how he was able to destroy so much in such a short period. Carter's ANTI-nature's law approach through a collectivist mentality was horrific. He has helped a lot more people in his private capitalistic endeavors than through his public atrocities.

I might expand that a bit — depending on the person; one may cry, increase in love, etc.  BUT, as a general rule, joking about extremely grave things can be an optimum response.

The de jure representative republic was to be based on nature's laws. Under such system where representatives were to operate uniquely under duty (not right), they (those representatives) were to protect and enhance individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty at nature's law (NOT!!! represent people {a majority or minority}, morals, opinions, religions, emotions, etc.). Codes, ordinances, regulations, rules, statutes, etc. were to be "Order Directives") NOT!!! mandates at law.

I'm not quite sure how to rate this; — so very accurate in practical applications, more often than not. BUT, there is always the exception. As I've expressed here before and by way of personal experience: when I was young, a Pastor told me to doubt everything and prove up the Lord daily. He also gave me a methodology how to garner proof of the spirit. It is a long journey with fruit along the way.

Today's primary persecutions are against those that prefer inalienable rights and liberty at nature's law. Today's persecutors promote mental abnormalities with a prevalence of immoralities, race bigotry, enslavement by carnal gods (omnipotent government) an extinction of love and truth and all things antithetical to the nobility of man.

On occasion, communication is recognized as deriving from wisdom. By what scale is a "wise man" determined wise. Marx may be considered wise to many — he was NOT; Marx was an educated buffoon and erroneously intellectual. Standing in truth, faith knowledge, love, individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty and nature's law, being wisdom — is (sounds and otherwise) foolish to patrons of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land.

Waffler, the natural law I reference is an extension of nature's law (not the Greek philosophy of man's observed actions being interpreted as moral — then implemented as law describing the various moralities). To your question — if doing things the right way is natural what is to learn? That is really shallow, off topic, and a non sequitur. A dominional answer to your question is — don't put your face in a raging fire. Nature's laws consist of absolutes such as chemistry, physics / science, math, gravity, time, space, life, liberty and inalienable rights. It is to each individual sovereign to learn nature's / natural law. You have chosen to violate nature's fiscal laws and abuse your brothers and sisters. That is one of the 6 billion ways of doing things — lawfully and unlawfully. 

Dick, please define the measurement and scale that you are using to state “leftist”. Your list didn’t include the left of legal positivism’s slavery, immorality, poverty, anti-personal responsibility, an elitist cast system, an occupying statist theocracy that infests this land with compelled compliance, victimless crimes, government licenses, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, etc.), financial degradation and NON recognition of personal sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty and nature’s law - all such being leftist.

The founders and ideologues of the “American Revolution” were “ANTI” socialism of your word salad (communism being left / fascism being right - another scale may be slavery / socialism left - personal sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty, nature’s law & justice on the right). The anticipated jurisprudence of the de jure States united was to be the: “laws of nature and of nature’s God” which had neither a left or right but rather, the administrations of absolutes such as chemistry, physics / science, math, gravity, life, liberty, inalienable rights and property.

Your leftist version of free education is ecclesiastical seminaries for indoctrination (government schools). Your socialism’s leftist version concerning child labor is a lie - child labor is an issue of nature’s law concerning natural development of individual sovereigns. Your leftist park, bridge, etc. building is also a deception of the ignorant. Individual sovereigns united brought about such. Habeas Corpus is in fact a mechanism to protect against leftist tyranny. Your lie told often enough becomes the truth (Lenin) is a diversion to enslave.

Not shooting the messenger, a very accurate observation from a nature's law perspective. "their government"? Can the patrons of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land call the ruling gods government? (or, is their another word?) Independence, inalienable rights and liberty have passed, — the ant's collective, find themselves in a condition of serfdom and slavery to an aggregation of demonic gods.

We hold this truth to be self evident ! ! !

Spoken like a true socialist slave. — If someone doesn't believe the currant carnal god's orthodoxy, they are all lumped together in a collective faux pas. Michael, if you stay tuned in here long enough, you'll find most the contributors are not dumbed down as your accusation would suggest.

Einstein's version of the concept was: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

What comes to mind is you can fool some of the people all the time; and you can fool all the people some of the times but, you can't fool all the people all the time.

In the case of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land and / with its believing patrons, facts concerning inalienable rights, liberty, nature's law, and the nobility of the sentient being man, occupy no grey matter, heart representation or soul. Those facts remain — they are just unrecognizable.

By what measure of Simon Heffer"s freedom is contemplated by theory. Nature's law and differing philosophies of law have extremely different perceptions of — and, theories concerning inalienable rights, liberty, man's nobility, morality and justice. Those educated individuals claiming a scholarly proficiency in the Constitution today profess their opinion from the basis of legal philosophies such as a Greek natural law, legal positivism and maritime jurisdictions — that being totally alien to nature's law (physics / science, gravity, math, life, liberty, etc.).

Anonymous, you are an extremely shallow and ignorant fool. Why would you choose to equate certain limited references of a "God" to other man-made gods? Under the current occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, carnal man is "god" with government being his priesthood. Your vailed put-down of what has historically come to be the Christian God is without knowledge of linguistic evolution. Anciently, the Hebrew language never developed a term "god" as, their focus of worship was of/on Divine parentage. The Hebrew "el" that now translates into "god" was a term of art that meant: power, strength, a political superiority and/or entities that fit that description (i.e., Sampson, kings, governors, mayors, gargoyles, evil happenstance, etc. were all referenced as "el"). The term "god" only became vogue when ignorant atheists, religionists from outside Adam, Melchizedec and Abraham's worship and Israel's heritage were forcefully influenced by carnal men/gods — temporally most lethal. That Jesus which stated: “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” (Luke 6: 27-31) is not the same god of the humanists, patrons of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land or other recognized religions.

Amen, Amen, & Amen. Attaining a reality of inalienable rights and liberty at nature's law is truly — TRULY a blessing.
