PUTIN SCHOOL OF NATURAL LAW

“It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.” (This was not only an ideological, but theological contradistinction)

— Vladimir Putin.

COMMENT

This is an appeal to natural law. There is a law higher than our hubris may construct. It is required for the rule of law. And it is by consequence the language of statesmen.

Its absence is the language of politicians.

The west is exceptional for its natural law and balance of powers. For its private property rights. For science and reason.

It is interesting that Obama should need to be schooled in such important matters by Putin.

Terrifying.
