If you would like to read the absolute DUMBEST take on Thomas...
Read this article...Some excerpts...
Quote:
"Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government," he said, because "it holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God but from government."
It's not a new idea, especially in Republican circles. In 2012, for instance, vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan thundered, in response to Barack Obama's supposedly tyrannical rule, that "even Presidents need reminding that our rights come from nature and God, and not from government!"
Ummm...DUH it's not a new idea. It was the idea that the ****ing founding fathers had. You know...back in the 1770s...
Or how about THIS gem:
Quote:
The idea that rights come from God, not government, couldn't be more wrong. And as someone who routinely wields the power of government to deprive Americans of their rights, Thomas ought to know.
Coupled with this wonderful piece of dumbass:
Quote:
As proof, Thomas offered his own history growing up in the Jim Crow South.
Quote:
So who was it who delivered the nation from the cruelty and injustice of Jim Crow? It was not a divine light of heaven sweeping across the land. It was government or more specifically, democratic citizens who worked tirelessly to change the laws, and eventually forced those with power in the courts, legislatures and the executive branch to join their cause.
Apparently, he doesn't comprehend that the rights of blacks during Jim Crow were being TAKEN AWAY BY
THE GOVERNMENT, even though they still had those rights. It was
GOVERNMENT that was the problem during Jim Crow.
It just gets dumber after that.
