Theses are priorities that people in general demand of the government — popular sovereignty is the basis of government of, by and for the people. The number one desire of people is to feel secure and under duress the people at large will everything else for security as in wartime. Secondly, once security it achieved people want an orderly society, because order underlies higher level functionality. Then people under popular sovereignty would vote for welfare to the degree that resources permit. If prosperity can be built on that, all to the good.<br /><br />This is pretty much human psychology based on self-interest.<br /><br />Ofc a society run by mafiosi has different priorities — making the people at the top wealthy and protecting and extending their wealth. This is socially disruptive and dysfunctional, and it constitutes a hijacking of popular sovereignty on liberal principles.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-35622393998318785542016-06-05T06:38:04.917-04:002016-06-05T06:38:04.917-04:00National priorities are sovereignty, security, ord...<i>National priorities are sovereignty, security, order, welfare, and prosperity, in that order.</i><br /><br />Those sound like the priorities of the American police state.Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-85400969221902508492016-06-04T23:57:03.680-04:002016-06-04T23:57:03.680-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-52846401686505299092016-06-04T23:50:40.716-04:002016-06-04T23:50:40.716-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-61314656825544052322016-06-04T22:01:17.595-04:002016-06-04T22:01:17.595-04:00Tom don't worry if Trump wins it looks like a ...Tom don't worry if Trump wins it looks like a return to nationalism for the US and then that will be all the rage globally...
