It seems that more and more these days I keep hearing about the importance of "diversity" in America.
In Public Service Announcements (PSA's) on both radio and television, the neo-liberals (read: socialists) are stressing to us the importance of being diverse.
At the outset, I need to say here that I don't hate anyone. That is especially true when it comes to the color of one's skin. I want to see both blacks and whites, and every other person, regardless of their skin color, excel in life.
I don't believe, however, that you have to tear down the well-being of one race of people, in order to advance the so-called "minority" races.
In a free society, there will be enough wealth for everyone to enjoy. If there is not, then you can bet that the blame lies at the halls of government — and the fact that you are not really free.
The PSA's that currently are running on various media outlets state that "America's strength is in her diversity."
That's nonsense! That is a neo-liberal lie.
If anything, diversity is a weakness.
When people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharton and others continually stir up trouble between the races, and when reparations for slavery is promoted as an intelligent idea, it creates racial division.
When special rights are granted to minorities, while non-minorities are instructed that they must be color-blind, it creates division.
When people have to divide themselves into several sub-groups of hyphenated names such as African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, etc., it creates division.
Division within any camp equals weakness.
America's strength is not in her diversity. America's strength — for over 200 years — has been in her recognition of individual liberties.
It is the Constitutional rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as those rights acknowledged by the first ten amendments to the work, called the Bill of Rights.
These rights were not given to us by government; they were given to us by our Creator God. The founders recognized this fact. Thus, the Constitution reflects that acknowledgement.
And since they were not given to us by government, that means that government cannot rightfully take them away.
Whenever government gets out of the way, and the people are left to pursue their dreams and ambitions, each person — regardless of who they are — can achieve wealth and success. There is a genius inside of each person, just waiting to be unleashed.
Too often government — through endless handouts and redistribution of the wealth programs — interferes with the natural course of events.
When it comes to public policy, if you discourage something, you will get less of it. If you encourage something, you will get more of it.
Government handouts provide incentive to avoid any endeavor by the recipient that will result in an increase in financial stature. At the same time, it punishes those who have the desire and motivation, through hard work and ingenuity, to achieve.
By utilizing programs that increase dependence upon government, we effectively make government the master. The ordinary citizen then becomes the servant. This is the exact opposite method of a truly free society.
It is, in fact, socialism. The same socialism that is practiced in every Communist country.
The truth is that America has been for decades, moving away from the principles that has made her a great and wealthy nation state.
Socialism is poison. You cannot cure socialism with more socialism.
Yet the problems that are created by socialist policies, give rise to proposed solutions, which are designed to further entangle the American people in the web of socialsm.
In other words, now that they have created the problem, they will create the proposed solution to the problem, and the "cure" will ultimately be even worse than the original disease. And all of it will progressively put them — that is, government — deeper in control of your life, until you have no freedoms left.
And they will exploit the differences between us, in order to implement their plan of control. Such is the case in America today.
As Alexis de Tocqueville predicted, "The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money."
No, diversity is not a strength. But it doesn't have to be a weakness. It is up to us to put a stop to Marxist class-envy, and the multiculteralism that divides us.
If we ever learned to work together, we could truly be free.
