In this day and age in America, we are living at the highest pinnacle of human flourishing yet achieved on Planet Earth. Even the poor are better off today than even 50 years ago. #copolitics #ShiningCityOnAHill

This is made possible by three things. I think of it as the three pillars of human flourishing. They are:
1) Capitalism
2) Limited, constitutional government
3) Fossil Fuels

Capitalism is the only moral socio-economic system yet devised by humankind. It is based on freedom, not force. It enables people to create value through voluntary, arms-length transactions. It has lifted more people from poverty than any other system. #copolitics #capitalism

Limited constitutional government sets limits on what government can do. It protects the inalienable rights of the individual. It allows for freedom over force. It is the only moral form of government. #copolitics #constitution

Fossil fuels provide cheap, reliable, safe energy. Can you imagine spending your days collecting wood, animal dung, and other biomass substances to burn in your home for heating and cooking. A life without electricity? #copolitics #energy

The Left wants to tear all this down. They hate capitalism, and want socialism, the ideology responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century and beyond. Communist, socialist, national socialist, democratic socialist: they're all the same. #copolitics

They hate limited, constitutional government. They want an all-powerful government, controlled by them, that takes ever increasing amounts of the wealth produced by productive people to fund their unrealistic state goals. #copolitics #leftyhate

And they hate fossil fuels. Because of the mass delusion (or is it a cult?) about human caused climate change, they want to radically change how we harvest and use energy in America. Their goals are unrealistic. #copolitics

The #GreenNewDeal, a leftist fantasy proposed by a former bartender, is the epitome of this mindset. Vote for these people at your peril. Support them at your risk. We are one generation from a bleak future where we look back and wonder "What Happened?". #copolitics #VoteFreedom
