CK’s comment: Doug, your comments on Capitalism as the foundation of our liberties is excellent. I will repost. Thank you. Doug H McCormick You can count on pure un-americanism from the left and a fundamental misunderstanding of Americas founding principles and our old Constitution. One womans old is another freedom-loving womans timeless. Perjury is usually defined as lying under oath. That is not quite right. The original meaning was violation of ones oath (or affirmation). The first American dictionary did not even contain the word capitalism. So before one can put down capitalism, as an ism, one MUST understand what it is!! The term is actually synonymous with Americanism. The American Revolution, and the subsequent, rapid spread of freedom movements across the globe, was fueled by several basic principles be made popular by social, political and religious leaders who had come to a renewed or ‘enlightened’ view concerning the nature of individual man. These new views affected all spheres of human relations and were not restricted by politics, religious, or economic considerations alone. Politically, the Founders referred to the ideas as ‘Republicanism.’ But, republics were not new on the world stage. What was new about the political achievement of the Founders was that for the first time in modern history it was advocated from a new, moral foundation-made possible by the post-enlightenment view that “all men” were “equal by nature” and that no man or group of men was “rightly entitled” to special moral privilege or consideration. Or, in other words, the longstanding tradition of cultural tyranny across the globe was challenged by a new view of individual man as the measure of all moral social interaction. No man was required, according to this new view, to live primarily for another-as his slave, servant, serf or subject-being unjustly deprived of life, liberty or property by any other man or group of men claiming some supposed moral authority. This basic worldview was not restricted to use or meaning in the political discussions of the time but affected all elements of man’s relationships with other men and during the period of the American Revolution was often referred to simply as Americanism. The term, however, most consistently, effectively, and regularly used to define the entire body of thought related to this worldview, would later be coined as ‘capitalism.’ In modern society the term ‘Capitalism’ is used imprecisely and inaccurately. Many scholars suggest that the term ‘Capitalism’ and its related term ‘Capitalist,’ was first derived in the English vernacular from a translation of the pejorative term used by Karl Marx in the mid to late nineteenth century to describe the class of men he called the elite “bourgeois” society who owned and controlled “society’s capital resources.” To students of the Founders, the philosophy of capitalism is the only moral system that guarantees to man his individual liberty, and therefore the only valid political, economic, and social standard for pursing prosperity and peace.” Learn how to be an Experienced Patriot!
