The evil we face in the States (and world) today

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a monster says something more troubling than ever.

Senator Timothy Kaine of Virginia recently posted an incredible comment on X.

Kaine wrote:

The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians and other religious minorities. And they do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

It was, of course, a Virginian who penned the Declaration of Independence, which stated that fact. So he is equating Tom Jefferson with Iranian ayatollahs – and of course any other Islamist disciple.

We think this justifies calling the former governor of the once-great Dominion of Virginia a monster. A monster that, sadly, enough people in Virginia have elected to political office multiple times. To rule over them.

(And we realize this should come as no surprise: just heartache and a commitment to fight this evil.)

That our rights, as humans, come from the Creator is a fact fully in keeping with the Holy Bible (both Tanakh: Old Testament and New Testament). This statement is even in accordance with Roman Catholic doctrine. (An important fact, since Kaine was raised a Roman Catholic and educated (according to Wikipedia) by Jesuits. He often emphasizes how his “Roman Catholic faith” guides his values and decisions in politics.

So, he is an incredibly sinful Catholic – unless he’s found someone to buy indulgences from. And he is clearly a liar. But his evil is deeper than those things.

As Tom Woods wrote:

What can surprise us at this point?

John Locke’s argument, echoed by Thomas Jefferson, was that rights preceded government, and that the purpose of government was not to grant rights, but to protect pre-existing rights.

(Whether governments do a good job of that in practice is of course not the point here.)

Tim Kaine wants you to believe that our rights “come from laws” and “come from the government” — because what government gives you, government can also take away.

That’s why Americans have been rather more fond of the idea that we possess these rights already, and do not merely enjoy them at the good pleasure of United States senators.

Tom, of course, knows (as do our readers and us here at TPOL) that governments do a horrific job of protecting our God-given rights. In part because we have the electorate of a once-free State which is so stupid, so gullible, so deluded, to put this man into power. Or at least 2.417 million Virginia voters, who kept him in office in 2024, versus 2.020 million who voted for his opponent.

Should it not be more terrifying that Democrats nationwide tolerated him as the candidate for Vice President (running with Hillary Rodham Clinton) in 2016? Is this really the opinion of not just6two and a half million Virginians, but of tens of millions of Democratic Party members across all Fifty States?

The greatest enemies to the United States – our liberty, our people, our prosperity – are not Communist Chinese. They are not Russians. They are not Islamist fanatics, nor drug lords, nor any of the usual groups. They are Americans who believe that government and human law gives us rights, that we enjoy liberty as a privilege granted to us by our rulers. That freedom is granted to us by rulers like Tim Kaine, Donald Trump, George W Bush, Joe Biden, and all their ilk. Not by the Creator.

We must teach them otherwise. We must persuade them of the truth, and set them free from the delusions and the passions that enslave them. Lest we need to destroy them physically, using their blood (and too much of the blood of lovers of liberty, and the innocent) to water the tree of liberty.
