Open to Tyranny
10/14/16
What do the religious liberty cases involving bakers, photographers, caterers, artists, wedding planners and others have to do with the 2016 presidential election’s current state of affairs? Well, the same worldview that has given rise to discrimination against Christian wedding vendors has given rise to a convoluted appraisal of candidates’ behavior. Truly, we live in an upside-down world, and we’ll never be able to right it without understanding something almost all, if not all, of our Founding Fathers understood.
You can’t have freedom without virtue.
Although he didn’t use these specific words to say it, Ben Franklin (center figure in the above picture) affirmed this principle, along with a great many other Founders. Their understanding needs to be recovered and upheld today.
