Liberals try to sell us on a policy of "we know best" or "don't you want everyone to have the best?" when in reality they just want to be in charge.
From "God in the Dock"
They do not know best. No intellectual elite in a far distant capital knows better than you how to make your life better. Everything they do is a pretense. They play on fears- fear of loss, fear of war, fear of global warming- as a pretense to get more power over us.
Man is not in charge of his own destiny. We make choices that is true, but so do all other men around us, and we are subject to the consequences of their choices just as much as we are by our own. When they say take charge of destiny, they mean to take charge of all men's maximum potential destiny and hold us back while they move forward.
It is not "for our own good" for someone else to make our choices past a certain age. If men never choose their own adventure, they never grow. If we're always able to go back and fix things, we never learn from mistakes, never grow, never improve, and the great plan of God himself is frustrated. That is the same plan proposed by Lucifer himself- they won't have to choose; not one we will lose, and give all the glory to me!
It is for our own good to follow that animating contest of freedom spoken of by Samuel Adams. Anything more or less than that comes of evil.
From "God in the Dock"
If we are to be mothered, mother must know best. . . . In every age the men who want us under their thumb, if they have any sense, will put forward the particular pretension which the hopes and fears of that age render most potent. They ‘cash in.’ It has been magic, it has been Christianity. Now it will certainly be science. . . . Let us not be deceived by phrases about ‘Man taking charge of his own destiny.’ All that can really happen is that some men will take charge of the destiny of others. . . . The more completely we are planned the more powerful they will be. . . . .
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. —C. S. Lewis
