Now, for April Fool's Day, I present "Google's German-to-English Translation of Google's Own English-to-German Translation of the Twelve Points," which is not nearly as funny as I assumed it would be:
Read and record the twelve-point, the GOC's Definitive statement of conservative principles.
The twelve-point
We, the conservatives of the United States of America, in order to direct and strengthen the conservative movement, to create a standard in which we hold ourselves and our fellow conservatives and to allow us to better serve our country and the world, reaffirm the state and these twelve basic principles:
I.
In relation to equality and justice:
This justice is founded on the understanding that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain rights inalienable," and all that just to gain their rights only characters from that facility and equipment immediately;
The fact that the arbitrary use of force is a departure from this principle, one intern ordered right to liberty is an essential part of justice;
That if individuals are to unite Government, do not give them their rights, but allow their government to review the permit, qualified and hold the just limits of their freedom, as defined by law, through their elected representatives, and in accordance with its constitution;
That in every government rests secure a sacred duty and immutable, and respect for the rights of the governed, to ensure equality before the law and maintain .... the rule of law
II
On individual freedom:
That the right to individual freedom, of course, ordered and internally, as arbitrary coercion is a destroyer of freedom, not an expression;
The fact that a person has the freedom, if it is left undisturbed in the use of his God-given free will, but restrained from entering on the same freedom and real rights of others;
That on his true role as guardians of our rights, and regardless of its laudable goals or humanitarian purposes, little of the work of the government justifies its characteristic use of threats, commands, and powerful attacks - and their use, if justified, is injustice;
That only criminals should be treated as always;
The tribute to the name Liberty are empty platitudes unless other act to be left free, and also to refuse to act, even in such a way that we find unpleasant, irresponsible, immoral, or without being subject to threat or actual violence;
That still depends on the success of a free society to bear on the human virtues of its happy and on their decisions as individuals to use to take control of their lives and their freedom responsibly;
That a person's spiritual and moral development can not be addressed may not be effective or right of governments, and the virtue survive without freedom can thrive more than the freedom ....without virtue
III.
For the United States Constitution and the rule of law:
That the rule of law is better than the "rule of man," because it manifests the decisive will of the governed, the provision as a constitutional principle of prudence protection against future leaders' lack of wisdom and justice;
That the preservation of liberty depends on the effective restraint systems and the regulation of state power, and that the effectiveness of control depends on the resolve and effort to understand and comply with the governed;
The fact that the sophisticated design of the Constitution of the United States is well suited for this purpose, the powers of the federal government, the separation of powers between the three branches, the prescription of methods by which these forces are used, and proscribing the most dangerous abuse;
need to maintain this role in this crucial, the Constitution in practice be recognized as it is universal in the word, as "the supreme law of the land," binding on the federal branches and the different states equally;
The fact that the Constitution must be interpreted and applied honest, loyal, meaning that a legitimate constitutional interpretation is a plausible product of a sincere attempt, starting with emphasis on constitutional text, to determine their original;
That on entry into the union, the government, form, governed the right to take a valuable constitutional government, and that for the convenience of ignoring the Constitution in the interests of injured and squandered that right;
This has yet to discover the humanity, to all the possibilities, back to those constitutions, can be used to improve and the government and the Americans should explore, to carefully consider and implement options carefully for this purpose .... would be useful in the constitution of their
IV
About life:
The fact that all human life is sacred, and remain that interference with the right to life the full, absolute and irreversible form of coercion is possible to deny another human being, even the minimum of freedom to exist, continue;
That, like all people have a right to life, the task of defining "personality" is the confronted, not indefinitely postponed their perceived difficulty;
That, given the status of the unborn, no danger is the possibility that we are overly generous in recognition of their humanity - the humanity of members of our species, right, separated by mere months, global recognition and protection of - but in the possibility that we are too stingy, that personality that begins well before birth, undeniably, from .... Concept should be recognized
V.
In regard to private property rights:
That the institution of private property must be respected and preserved, as it complements the independence of our natural freedom, and while its alternatives would make it unnecessary for us depends on the will of others;
The vain for possessing contrary interests of each person in the Commons of the Earth, to replace property rights - through the division and the organization of these interests - common option, but a meaningful right, title to the land under their own feet, to which one is the house, and of which the holder decides to rightly use and enjoy, as he;
That the power of eminent domain should never be used for the public to private property other than for, and it should be avoided appropriate features for that purpose is not really necessary and to allow governments to serve their fair;
The property will be invaluable as the basis of the free market economy, itself a prerequisite for the meaningful implementation of the general right to freedom ....
VI.
On the freedom and economic prosperity MARKET:
That the free market is an expression of freedom, a necessary condition for the effective use of freedom, and the best economic system in order to feed strong economic growth and meet the material needs of the people - and, as a result of the free market has no tolerable , replace
Governments need to maintain economic liberty through low taxes, free trade, the preservation of freedom of contract, stable monetary policy, balanced budgets, fiscal restraint, honest budgeting, respect for the investment of private property and by avoiding unnecessary and unnecessarily burdensome regulation ;
The fact that the survival of economic freedom depends on the prevalence of the understanding that the free market is not only the best economic system, but also why it is the best, how it works, if it is effective to the least, and why the fallacies invoked against it are deceptive;
The fact that an overly regulated economy, deregulation necessary operations, but the success of free-market reformer surgical separation of state and the market depends on its thorough understanding of the anatomy of the economy;
The fact that this right to pursue independence, material security, and happiness deserves special care, but no person is .... owed the involuntary help of others in this pursuit, or in place of it
VII
What INDIVIDUALITY and unity:
That the conservatives have not just against racism, justice is a corruption of the society and a serious threat, but also needs an active interest in the solution and the elimination of this problem;
That the solution begins with a firm commitment to promoting justice and equality before the law - both in word and deed - and with each of us as individuals, to guard the rights of others as we would our own watch;
This unity, if not artificial unity is a means, as much as a goal in America's quest for racial reconciliation, and that the targeted distribution of hereditary peers on immaterial differences ....is an affront to individuality and a threat to the unity
VIII
Concerning conservation:
This policy should be to preserve individual freedom characterized by the same principles and relies on guide purposes, all measures of the government, supported by sound science and harmonized, private property rights, rule of law and the critical needs of our economy;
The private ownership of resources, combine them in a rule on the control it is preferable to the consequences of bad management, shared ownership and management and is the ideal model for action to conserve resources is .... that can not be private
IX.
With regard to the restraint and REVERSAL OF GOVERNMENT GROWTH:
That if the government is growing properly about its limits, fueling a dangerous individual malignant tumor than its elements;
That "as the government expands, liberty contracts";
The centralized centralized power;
That regardless of their professed humanitarian motives, the powers of government are established in the force, and even the best governments are a significant threat to the very rights that they be taken to protect;
That government programs, once established, tend to stay, regardless of whether they remain effective and independent of the harm they come to impose;
The fact that the countless small but unjustified government spending can not be defended separately with regard to the relative insignificance of each of them alone, as the dollar is less valuable when it counted in pennies;
That no government, the size, density and complexity of United States federal government should be made transparent so that the governed effectively monitor and control them;
That governments not subject to the forces of supply and demand perfection, and that a democratic constitution, if necessary, will not be enough to wrest the adequacy of government;
Regardless of what it promised to use the advanced state authority and corruption created by the policy;
This state reform, private competition and individual freedom often succeed where the higher government spending and power failure;
This is because there is no end of the promised benefits of state intervention, there is no business or personal sphere of freedom that is not ultimately the risk that their value Bled distributed or of the existence;
That the government can not control an economy without controlling people, and that in the control of people, "it must be set to force and coercion to achieve its purpose";
This freedom and its benefits, most Americans at risk if debtors are bribed to sell not only their own freedom, but also those of their neighbors;
That if there offloading families and voluntary associations of their traditional displacement by them in their invaluable role can government can wipe out a blessing, not a government to replace that;
This government must be both cautious and confident sense right through .... Led by the governed
X.
What tax equity:
That among the compelling reasons for the low tax rates of the known and demonstrated economic benefits, the unconstitutionality of certain expenses, to finance taxes, and the feeling that people are to live responsibly to save, and hard work, rewards should be kept as much aspossible from her for this;
These taxes are also a matter of justice, is mandatory and collected as taxes under threat of harsh punishment, and those taxes should not be subject to threats to justify spending funds not possible that such;
That while some functions of government deserve the support of all Americans, particularly in ensuring security and safeguarding justice, to fund other legitimate, constitutional governmental functions, should the tax be designed to charge the beneficiaries of a deliberate public expenditure relationship benefits that they get it from;
That if the injustice of the other expenses not spending offending be solved by those who are financing, their sense of traditional limited to sources of that income are not required to use in, and not the rights of taxpayers without their individual consent to force them to pay;
That these alternative sources will not be developed and tested to identify the politicians and the public that it is possible, an otherwise desirable expenditure for the taxpayer against the constitution and the natural rights;
That by constitutional amendment, the Americans can and should impose permanent controls to require that only certain legal issues can possibly ever .... Taxes will be financed through traditional, mandatory
XI.
In terms of reflection and reason:
The prudent policy requires an impartial examination of the relevant facts, give due consideration and to test a healthy skepticism about the claims of our allies and adversaries, rejection of ideologies and their dazzling effects and a tendency to examine and prove our own conclusions and beliefs;
That the wording of the policy should be space for our inability to predict and influence the behavior of other people as well as we predict and control the behavior of things;
That we may not fully appreciate the consequences of our actions, and the "Sudden and slashing reforms are as dangerous as sudden and slashing surgery";
The fact that only a few decisions would be less prudent or conservative, our heritage as American as fortune give up .... represented by our Constitution and the traditions of freedom
XII.
What wisdom and strength, security, freedom and peace:
We have to defend America's interests only, the maintenance of security and freedom for ourselves and our posterity;
The easy-to that end, not a source of power - even hearty diplomacy, strategic stability, the will and the willingness to use military force, and all the others and constitutional means - can be neglected clever;
Court disaster that we, if we overestimate our military strength, careless use incorrectly or neglect to maintain and expand;
This is how the federal government should be effective for use in its duty to respect the right of freedom and security for the American people - and having regard to the role of America as a beacon of freedom and justice for the world - care and caution, in determining whether a use of military force is necessary and appropriate;
This is our ability to deter threats rests on our military strength we possess the intelligence, skills and resources to effectively manage that strength and our opponents' certainty that America decided to answer aggression and
That the objective of the association must be there all this, once and hold the United States of America, at, secure, just, prosperous and free.
