The Fallacy of ‘Openness and Tolerance’
By Paul Pauker
While Islamic terrorists continue to wage holy war against the West, Progressives and liberals continue to frame the argument in ways that further endanger the West. For example, following a recent Islamic terrorist attack in Sweden, the New York Times argued in favor of Western leaders focusing on preserving "fundamental" values (i.e., Progressive-liberal values), such as openness and tolerance.
However, in any situation where a threat is posed to life, liberty, or property, the correct response does not focus on preserving values. Rather, the correct response focuses on securing rights; namely, the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. This is particularly the case in the United States, where the nation's founding document, the Declaration of Independence, proclaims that governments are instituted to secure the unalienable rights of the people.
