A Conservative's Thoughts on Rights and Duties, their Duality, and some Implications (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the author's first book, A Conservative's Manifesto, he touched peripherally on the relationship between rights and duties and what that relationship means for us as citizens.

An understanding of individual rights and individual duties, especially their nature as individual endowments rather than as attributes of groups of men or as grants from some men acting in a "government's" name, forms a critical part of Conservative thought. Now, with us Americans broadly divided on what our rights and duties really are, or even whether the government should have them instead of us, is the time to expand on that peripheral discussion and to address the matter directly.

My central thesis is this: our inalienable rights and our inalienable duties, as endowments from and by our Creator, and as duals of each other, are a part of the fabric of our existenceboth as individual rights and duties and in the capacity of those duals. Further, just as importantly, our inalienable rights and our inalienable duties are in each of us as individuals; they are not in groups of us, they are not in the whole of us as a nation. Each one of us is possessed of them entirely in ourselves.

Hence this pamphlet, which seeks to illustrate that and to offer some implications that proceed from that.

Autorenporträt

The author is an Air Force veteran, Project Manager, and Systems Engineer living in North Texas. He is not a professional politician, but a reasonably well-educated citizen who has taken the time to study not just where we are, but where we came from and how we got here today. His principles are developed by a person more typical of today's American than the formally credentialed individuals who have spent their professional lives as members of a governing elite.
