Go discusions around here about a bunch of hot button topics. This gentlement states exactly how I feel. How do you feel about what he says about freedom & liberty? www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=18875Here are some of the good quotes: The FACT is that our unalienable rights (which are not relative and subjective) are being infringed upon RIGHT NOW is not relative and subjective and THE INFRINGEMENT IS BASED ON RELATIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY. That fact can be proven without a shadow of a doubt in many, many ways. From legislation about marriage to legislation about global warming -- it is all infringement based on the relative public good.
The question these days isn't if there is infringement or not -- the question, all too often, is which infringement do you agree with and support? I support none of it for it is merely legislative morality which I do not need -- and if you believe in the goodness of humanity as I do, then you will agree that morals need not legislation for there are basic morals that we each have access to.
Just because many people wish to hand their freedom away for a bit of security and safety DOES NOT mean that everyone else chooses to do so. The fact is that there is liberty or there is safety, you cannot have both in any given setting -- for liberty is fleeting if one doesn't fight for it, both figuratively and literally. And one doesn't need some major sort of education to understand that. I would rather have liberty and be able, even encouraged, to provide my own safety than to have safety and no liberty.

I love liberty, I'll always love liberty, I'll always judge every arguement with regards to liberty, and I'll never waiver. Taking away any amount of liberty leads to more being taken, compromisng for "safety" means you get nor deserve neither. Never be scared into giving it away (read: Patriot Act)

The country was built on a business plan, Freedom, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness were sales pitches.
