Agenda of 'fair share' could create new tyrants

Published: May 12, 2012 

Reading the proposition to provide free food and life coaches to obese people is bad enough. Now we have racist and sexist fools demanding that a minority and a woman should be placed in management for no other reason than race and sex? I've read this book already and the end is bleak.

This agenda is everywhere I look with "fair share" being chanted on TV, radio and the street. Dictionary.com defines fair in this context: "1. free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice ... 2. legitimately sought, pursued, done, given, etc."

Now that we can see the definition of fair in black and white, is it fair to redistribute wealth that's been earned by others? Is it fair to give positions of power based on race or sex? Is it fair to tax one group more than another? Is it fair to deny two consenting adults the right to marry each other?

A new group of tyrants is trying to take control; they don't recognize that their prejudices are just as bad as any other.
