Political
Correctness works, tirelessly, to repeal our inalienable rights
to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. With our essential
freedoms under assault by these Korrectniks, PIG believes Thomas
Jefferson's immortal axiom needs to be further amplified.
We
don't claim to reach the lofty heights of Thomas Jefferson's eloquence.
However, in the spirit of his ageless prose, we humbly submit the
PIG Doctrine as a vital first step in the fight to restore the inherent
individual rights of all Americans.
We
hold the following truths to be self-evident:
|
Since
each individual is responsible for his, her, hisher, or it's own
life, it is irrational for anyone to expect to be saved from oneself.
No matter how
powerful you might think it is, the Great Amerikan Nanny State has
a very limited ability to save you from your own stupidity. If you
take asinine risks, sooner or later, Mother Nature will evict you
from the human gene pool.
The primary function
of a properly rational government is not to impose an equality of
economic results by Nanny State decree, nor is it to impose the
prevailing notion of morality by government edict. The primary function
of a properly rational government is to engender an environment
that maximizes each individual's inalienable liberty.
Diminished
capacity is not a valid excuse for criminal behavior. If you are bonkers,
drunk, drugged out, had a crappy childhood, or possessed by demons
when you initiate force against another individual, or their property,
you are guilty, period.
'Hate Crime'
infers, erroneously, that there are 'noble' motives for committing
a crime. Assault is assault and murder is murder, no matter what the
intellectually flat-lining perpetrator has on his alleged mind.
Each
individual is born with a full complement of rights. The government
can't give you new rights; it can only take the ones you already have.
The "unalienable
rights" with which you were "endowed" at birth do NOT
include a right not to be offended. Living in a nation founded on
inalienable individual liberty means you will hear things you don't
want to hear. It also means you will see things you don't want to
see.
Gender, sexual
orientation, skin color and ethnicity are accidents at birth, not
an entitlement for lifelong victimhood.
Your inflated
feelings of entitlement don't authorize you to rewrite history, exaggerate
the accomplishments and/or suffering of your ancestors, or to demand
payment for things that happened to somebody else.
The exaggerated
sensitivities of others are not my responsibility, nor do their hurt
feelings empower them to abolish my right to free speech.
Since
a word is nothing more than an ethically-neutral sequence of sound
waves, it only has as much power for good or evil as the listener
bestows upon it. There are no intrinsically 'offensive' sound waves,
there are only hypersensitive listeners who are predisposed to being
offended by them.
Reality
is not defined by majority rule. Scoring 50% plus one vote doesn't,
automatically, make an assertion right or true.
'OOPS' is not a proper substitute for family planning, nor does it
obligate an individual to pay for the care, feeding and education
of someone else's spawn.
'It's for
the children' will never be a valid justification to repeal any of
our inalienable rights. .
No good person
ever turned evil from reading a book, watching television, listening
to a song, watching a movie, playing a video game or surfing the Internet.
Guns, drugs,
booze, Happy Meals,
tobacco, Harry Potter, Spongebob, Teletubbies, and/or Buster are not
intrinsically evil. They are only as good or bad as the individual
who partakes of them.
Huddled
masses yearning to breath free must go to the end of the goddamn line
and wait their turn. We'll throw your sorry ass out, if you sneak
across our border, colonize our cities and play parasite bingo on
the Amerikan citizen's dime. No excuses, no exceptions, don't even
ask.
Market forces,
not the government, set the wages for a specific job and the price
for each commodity. It's called Capitalism, the economic system that
rewards the competent, punishes the incompetent and benefits all.
Wealth
isn't static; it's dynamic. The achiever's success isn't produced
at the expense of the merely mortal.
The rich
are not inherently evil any more than the poor innately virtuous.
Life is inherently
unfair. That's why condoms come in different sizes.
