Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 4, 2011

As I?ve noted before, the credo of Communists and other collectivists is the following: What?s mine is mine; what?s yours is ours. People who subscribe to collectivist ideologies typically use such words as ?sharing? as euphemism for State-sanctioned theft, ?selfishness? as a condemnation of those who insist on keeping what they have legitimately earned, and ?compassion? as a synonym for the covetous hatred that propels efforts to expropriate private wealth.

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, an ambulatory wad of cholesterol and collectivist bile, offered a remarkably pure specimen of this attitude in a recent interview with GritTV.

?We?re not broke,? Moore insisted. ?There?s a ton of cash in this country. . . . What?s happened is that we?ve allowed a vast majority of that cash to be concentrated in the hands of just a few people. . . We?ve allowed them to take that. That?s not theirs, that?s a national resource, that?s ours.?

Commissar Moore, of course, quite jealously guards the fortune he has made as an evangelist for collectivism.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
