The Belief In Human Goodness

The modern belief in basic human goodness is a misconception closely linked to complete trust in and reliance upon centralized governmental authority to run and regulate our lives down to the last detail.

There is also a strong correspondence between a belief in human, basic depravity and a fear of and distrust of someone wielding too much federal, collected power.

Because we are so sinful and corruptible, we cannot resist the temptation to addict ourselves to power-lust and concentration of all power unto ourselves, snuffing out liberty and independence for all citizens under our thumbs.

For this reason, we need the balance of power framework to keep people from becoming despotic as Obama has done repeatedly.
