John Locke advocated that if property rights did not exist, then the incentive for an industrious person to develop and improve property would be destroyed; that the industrious person would be deprived of the fruits of his labor; that marauding bands would confiscate by force the goods produced by others; and that mankind would be compelled to remain on a bare-subsistence level of hand to mouth survival because the accumulation of anything of value would invite attack.
James Madison said, "As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights." John Adams argued, "The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."
The fear of climate change has become the excuse for government to grow and dictate how every strip of land will be used.
Gone is more private property, a reliable water source, and the individual's ability to thrive for their own goals
What about the local restaurant that has always featured your favorite meal? Now, in the name of climate change, the government is moving to ban the stoves on which they cook the meals.
In the past year, climate change radicals have defaced DaVinci's "Mona Lisa," Degas' "Little Dancer," and Monet's "Haystacks." Hate of our society, free enterprise, and private property are at the root of the demonstrations.
Today's drive to eliminate free enterprise, individuality, and private property will not lead to an environmental paradise; rather, it will result in shattered American dreams.
