The right to keep and bear was written into The Bill of Rights as Amendment #2, but that doesn’t mean people won’t try to violate it. Unfortunately, our fight is against fellow Americans who think they know what is best for everyone. Their fear of what they don’t understand and their lust for government control sends them down a destructive ideological path, which trades individual freedom for passive obedience.
Freedom is embraced by people with a rugged individualism fueled by the desire for growth, prosperity and the will to live life as they see fit. Along with this way of life, comes a strong sense of personal responsibility. When these people make a mistake, they take full responsibility for their failures. When these people succeed, they expect to reap the rewards of their success. These people understand that government was put into place to serve the needs of “the people.†Let’s call these people, Conservatives.
Socialism is embraced by people with a “group-think†mindset fueled by the desire for a structured, government-controlled society. This is the preferred model of people who want to “feel†safe in a world that they may not understand or have the courage to endure. This ideology seems to bring with it, a lack of personal responsibility. “It’s always someone else’s fault.†This is the mindset of people who can trip over their own feet while walking down the sidewalk and find a way to justify suing the business that happens to be there. This is a mindset that embraces “victimhood†and would vote for the politician that promises handouts and college loan forgiveness, even while watching others work hard to pay their own way. These are people who believe it is ok to take from those who earn and give it to those who don’t, under the guise of compassion. Let’s call these people Progressives.
