What these democratic socialist are protesting is nothing new. Saying that conservatives are against womens rights and dont care about there health. We do care and we also care about the life of human fetus and the future of all mankind. We do this by the path of Liberty and individual’s unalienable rights and the limits the Constitution places on the federal government. not by government enacting socialism and Fascism.
These tactics are not new:
Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all.
We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.
