People Are Just too Stupid to Self Govern!

Are people really too stupid to make decisions for themselves? Are people really, too stupid to self govern? I know that it sounds like trivial questions to ask, but they are very important questions, especially in this time and age.

In fact, it is a core philosophy among those on the Left, who today are called progressives, liberals, democrats, members of the US Democratic Party and some Republicans. Whether or not it is a philosophy they truly believe, it is indeed a philosophy they all embrace.

That philosophy propagates that people are just too stupid to self-govern, thus they–those mentioned above–must be counted on to decide and define our future. It is their belief that without them humanity would literally deteriorate. I say all this to emphasis the importance they attribute to themselves.

The heart of my questioning is in finding out whether people are intuitively too stupid to make decisions for themselves. Whether they can self govern.

I don’t believe that to be true–that people can’t self-govern. This belief is propagated by Progressives with the expressed intent of creating dependence on their expertise. Are we neo-liberals no longer suspicions of lawyers and politicians? Not even just a little?

Why would I believe people are not stupid? Simple; government is made up of people. The bureaucrats are people. If they can make decisions for both themselves and for others, I hope you agree that an individual at minimum can self govern.  Government is not the buildings with antique furniture, it is not the computers, it is not the office spaces. Government is comprised of people. If people cannot at minimum self govern, why do we elect people to govern the masses?

Do you see how arguing against the truth that people can self govern, complicates the argument of placing the entire nations decisions in the hands of few people? Unless they can prove, using critically thought out logic, how government officials are not people, I don’t know how they win the debate.

When I recognized this ignored reality, I became even more determined in my belief that people are not too stupid. It is people who are in government making decisions for themselves and for others.

Therefore, if all men are created equal, can I at minimum infer that the ability to self govern exist in all men? Some have more than others. But with that being the case, should the strong not teach the weak, rather than tear down the individual? Can there exist a community with individualism dead? Just as government is comprised of people, a community is comprised of individuals. Embrace the individual.

What we have is a situation where government is basically self-promoting. They are like any other for-profit institution. They persuade the masses that the product or service they have is the best thing since sliced-bread and that you must have it. And that is precisely what big-government politicians and the media that journal them are in the business of. It is about convincing people they are too stupid to make decisions for themselves. Also, they need someone else doing their decision making. It is important to recognize that people are not too stupid to make decisions for themselves, instead, they must be convinced that they are, so that they will allow politicians to make those decisions for them.

When you take a close examination of the progressive-liberal philosophy, what you find is, their philosophy is based not on caring for people or actually helping them attain wealth through self-reliance, instead, it is based on convincing people that they are pitied and need to be cared for by them.

For the progressed politician, this is job security. It is about creating a society where people are persuaded against adhering to the principle that those in government adheres to–which enable them to make decision for themselves and others–but instead adhere to a belief that says, they cant do it. The government needs to step in and do it for them. Don’t bother trying. The situation is just too complex for you to solve on your own. We are here to help. The more people there are that believes this way, means the chronic political plea for increased Investments by government. Investments with subprime returns.

The liberal philosophy is about expanding government. That is what they care about. Not people. For them, it became about the people’s business after they convinced individuals to let politicians address their business.

If one really thinks about it, it has served to be a dangerous scheme. This is one of the most heinous scams perpetrated against the American people.

The cost. It is costly because it has stripped so much from mankind. So much will, so much desire, so many dreams down the proverbial drain. Today, those who fell for the lie, do not believe in all that man could be. Case in point; to believe that an obscure individual can accomplish prominence here in America is said by people on the Left to be wishful thinking.

This is what they are about America. In the end, they cannot continue propagating that people can’t make decisions for themselves, while they are people. These individuals are making decisions for themselves and others. What do they believe in that we don’t believe in?

We have believed their lies. My admonition is to stop believing the lie. Be aware of the lie.
