----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natural Law is not the easiest thing to understand.  It is easy to accept once you hear the concept, but it is often difficult to sort thru when man-made legislation to govern us is being produced.  That might explain a few dumb votes by a FEW Republicans.  

The Founding Fathers were extremely strong advocates of Natural Law.  In fact, they used its concepts to justify their actions to separate from England.  They envisioned the teachings of Marcus Tullius Cicero helping them achieve his vision of the grandeur and promise of a society based upon a Republic and Natural Law.  They shared his belief and thought that they could create a country of prosperity and justice for them and their posterity.  We are extremely lucky in this great country and need to thank them every day for their wisdom.

Obviously, there were other noted scholars that help influence the Founding Fathers on Natural Law, but Cicero was more than likely their prime source.  Cicero simply felt that there was a Supreme Creator of the universe and He put in motion a set of rules by which the universe conforms to.   Cicero called this law, Natural Law and that it was the TRUE law.  He said that it was unchanging and everlasting and it was a sin to alter it, try to abolish it or vainly try to repeal it.

Sometimes it is easier to give examples of natural law than a definition.  However, that typically only has value when talking with a conservative.  If you are talking to a liberal they will pick apart the example rather than trying to understand the principle and how it applies to our lives.  

The two examples that are often given are that of gravity and human sexuality.  Any legislature in this country can pass a law outlawing gravity, but if they go to the top of the Empire State Building and jump off to see if the building is complying with their man-made law, they will quickly understand no matter how many votes they had in the legislature, man cannot override Natural Law.

Another usual example that is given is human sexuality as it demonstrates Natural Law quite well for a conservative because it is so self-evident.   For instance, a man and a woman have observably different but complementary sexual parts that are capable of biological union.   This union between a man and a woman can produce a sperm that fertilizes a female egg and lead to creation of life.   That’s how the laws of nature from our Creator has ordained it.  It works no other way.  Therefore, sexual union between homosexuals is in violation of this Natural Law.

And yes, Natural Law also applies to economic issues.  It is interesting that the system of Free Market Capitalism conforms to Natural Law while socialism does not.  Hence it is no surprise that Free Market Capitalism is the only economic system in the history of mankind that has generated true prosperity.

Investopedia wrote:DEFINITION of 'Natural Law'
A set of rules inherent in human behavior and human reasoning that governs human conduct. Natural law is preexisting and is not created in courts by judges. Philosophers and theologians throughout history have differed in their interpretations of natural law, but in theory, natural law should be the same throughout time and across the world because it is based on human nature, not on culture or customs.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he acknowledged the Laws of Nature (Natural Law) and of Nature’s God as rationale for our separation from England.

The Declaration of Independence states:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.  

When Martin Luther King, Jr. was fighting against segregation, he cited Natural Law as the reason for segregation being unjust.   In fact, he was probably the greatest spokesman for natural law in the 20th century when he denounced segregation because it betrayed the natural-law principles of the Declaration of Independence.”

Today REPRESSIVE LIBERALS for the most part are clueless on what Natural Law is and the bounds it places on us.  However, there are also many REPRESSIVE LIBERALS who don’t like the dictates of Natural Law and simply reject it just like they do with the Laws of Natures God.  I am not sure which one Jackoff Jones is, but probably the clueless category fits.  However, I also firmly believe based on all his comments on this forum that even if he understood Natural Law, he would reject it.

REPRESSIVE LIBERALS who want to fundamentally transform human nature and our country especially on issues like marriage, family, sexuality and gender, find that Natural Law is their chief foe.  Therefore, most REPRESSIVE LIBERALS will do with natural law what they do with biblical law and other moral laws — they will pick the applications they like and ignore or reject those they don’t.  Even worse, you have the EVIL CRETINS like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer or any REPRESSIVE LIBERAL who was elected to Congress or any State Legislature will try to remake the natural law in their own image.


I personally think an important and easy take away for conservatives from this discussion might be the simple fact that two of the very biggest supporters of Natural Law in this country have been Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr.  That is interesting because the REPRESSIVE LIBERALS try to claim these two individuals as their heroes and patriarchs.  However, nothing could be further from the truth.  When demonrats try to say that Jefferson was the founder of the demonrat party, that is complete bullshit.  The founder of the demonrat party was Andrew Jackson one of the evilest men in this country.  Bottom-line, neither Jefferson or King believed in anything the REPRESSIVE LIBERALS and the demonrat party stand for today.

I BET YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM KNOWING THAT

While sodomy may feel good to some individuals, it goes against nature.  It is a disease ridden practice.

You know what else is an abomination? Charging interest on a loan. Are you going to crusade against that as well? Or are your concerns and bit more selective?

I wonder if your friends, relatives and neighbors know the TRUTH about Planned Parenthood?  Perhaps you should tell them:

During its 2015 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood received more than $553 million in taxpayer funds -- 43% of its total budget. Planned Parenthood is now months late in releasing its FY 2016 report, perhaps because taxpayers are now paying even more of this abortion mill's budget.

The lying liberals always try to misrepresent EVIL and they like to talk about Planned parenthoods’ adoption services.  Well for every ONE adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performs about 200 abortions and is now responsible for nearly one-third of all abortions in the U.S. -- and TAXPAYERS are funding this abhorrent organization!

Darth Cheney wrote:I had an epiphany today while driving by the local Planned Parenthood murder center after church services. Christians/pro-choice people should erect adoption centers immediately next door to these butcher shops. Advertise how many normal heterosexual couples are waiting to adopt a baby and raise it in a loving home on a billboard in plain view of the butcher shop.

President Obama said he would not raise any tax on any American earning less than $250,000 per year.

He broke the promise when he signed Obamacare. Obamacare was never about healthcare. It was a massive taxation of Americans to fund a more bloated government.
