Pursuit of Happiness

You have the right to determine how you live within your means and capability, and not have that robbed from you by others. Let's call that "the pursuit of happiness," one of our natural rights as reasoned by Locke. Life, liberty, and... property.

We spend a great deal of time determining where we should live. We want good neighbors. When we choose where we live and the neighbors who will, in some way, share life with us, we anticipate a harmonious existence. "Safe and secure in our home and person" should certainly be the default.

We get the culture we allow. We want a shared culture that respects life, liberty, and property.

It was once the case that government and law enforcement were implemented to enable us to protect our families. Over time, that has bent to favor the rights not of the law-abiding, but of the "alleged" lawbreaker.

We watch in horror as a father loses his son at a high school sports event and the one who stabbed him raises hundreds of thousands of dollars and is free on bond, showing no respect to the victim or the victim's family.

Do you want to live there? In Frisco, Texas? If you did, would you feel safe? The judge who reduced the bond has now been doxxed. Does she feel safe?

HOA's sprung up after World War II, first started as a means of affordable community development by a fella named Bill Levitt. This gave birth to planned communities. Community - it comes from the Latin "communis," meaning common or shared. It implies mutual respect and shared values and principles.

Shared culture matters. If you come here from another country and refuse to share a culture of respect for life, liberty, and property, then you don't belong here.

The lawless don't care one whit about respect for life, liberty, or property. For all of the talk of "due process," we need to talk about due respect. I care more about due respect for the law-abiding than I care about due process for lawbreakers. The only process due for those illegals who violate the rights of American citizens is to duly process their exit from this country.

When politicians accept endorsements or donations from those who facilitate breaking the law, we need to call them out without mercy.

The colonias and the sharia communities cropping up in Texas are because of politicians who have allowed it to happen and did so at the expense of the law-abiding. That's criminal.

Those who don't share our American values of respect for life, liberty, and property don't belong here. Those who don't share the desire to be a productive member of society don't belong in civil society, and shouldn't be carried by the rest. Those who want to ignore the Constitution and grow government rather than limit government do harm to the people and must not climb into positions of authority or power.

There is no pursuit of happiness when you don't feel safe in your own home or community. As the Declaration says:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Mr. Future Of Texas (May 5, 2025 10:36 PM):

Those who hold to Sharia Law do not respect the Constitution nor the biblical principles in which the Constitution was built upon.

If the Lord tarry’s his coming another 20-30 years, there will be “no go zones” in pockets of Texas and once those who live by Sharia Law feel as if they are in the MAJORITY they will make the infidels, Christians and Jews, rule under the Sharia Law.

We better pray Texas reverse’s course now and stops the invasion from within, the problem is Texas Leadership allowed it to get to this point when they could have raised awareness and stopped these Islamic Communities years ago.

Women have no rights under Sharia Law, look at any Muslim Majority Country in the Middle East? Who would want to allow that culture to come to America? They are not here to assimilate, they are here to rage war, they will stay silent and abide under “our law “ but as soon as they have the MAJORITY in pockets of our Region, State, and Republic - they will enforce Sharia Law, because that is what The Koran teaches, you are allowed to lie when you are in the minority but once you are in the majority you are commanded to be ruthless.

Muslims are like the snake that asked the young boy to help pick him up and cross over the water, the young boy said, “I will not pick you up you are a snake and you will bite me” and the snake replied, “ I will not bite you, I am tired and I come peacefully”, so the young boy picked up the snake and crossed the water, before the young boy let the snake down the snake bit him, the young boy said, “why did you bite me, you said you came peacefully and was tired”, the snake replied, “ you knew who I was when you picked me up”.
