# What a Biden/Harris Victory Could Mean for Our Freedoms
*2020-10-13*

> Bill Young and John O'Rourke discuss the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, offer a consecration prayer, and warn that a Biden‑Harris administration could threaten personal liberties, private property, and health care for the elderly.

## Feast of Our Lady of Fatima and Consecration

We begin by celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, marking the 103rd anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun. In honor of this day we recite a consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, renewing the promises of baptism and confirmation. We ask Mary to set our hearts ablaze with love for Christ, to entrust our bodies, souls, and possessions to her, and to unite ourselves with the Holy Spirit for the glory of God.

## The Threat to Private Property and Personal Freedom

John explains that Pope Leo XIII taught that private property is a fundamental right essential to the common good. He contrasts this with recent statements by Pope Francis, who describes private property as a secondary natural right serving a social purpose. The hosts argue that a government adopting a socialist or communist model would undermine this principle, leading to the erosion of personal property rights.

They warn that a Biden‑Harris administration could pursue policies such as mandatory quarantines, extensive court‑packing, and the eventual loss of constitutional protections—including religious liberty, the Second Amendment, and free speech—if the Supreme Court no longer serves as a check on legislative overreach.

## Socialized Medicine and the Elderly

Bill shares a personal story about his brother in Canada, noting that socialized health care often results in limited treatment for the elderly. He describes cases where patients over 70 receive only palliative care, such as morphine, because the system cannot afford more aggressive interventions. The hosts argue that similar policies in the United States would leave seniors without adequate medical care, effectively “putting them down” like animals.

They cite examples of long wait times for basic services—dentistry, specialist appointments—and suggest that a government‑run system would prioritize cost over human dignity.

## Political Implications and Call to Action

The conversation turns to the political arena. Bill asserts that the Democratic Party, aligned with figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders, seeks total control over citizens’ lives. He claims that foreign powers—China and Russia—support Biden and Harris, implying a hidden agenda.

Both hosts conclude that voting for the Democratic ticket risks surrendering fundamental freedoms, while supporting a candidate who defends constitutional rights—namely, former President Trump—offers the best chance to preserve liberty.

*If we value private property, personal liberty, and dignified health care, we must remain vigilant about the political choices we make.*
