Would You Rather Be Free?
I am going to start this thread and then head to Little Rock. So I won't be able to contribute for a few hours.
But I had a thought this morning. REAL freedom doesn't come with safety nets. REAL freedom is a freedom to succeed and a freedom to fail. The freedom brought by the founding fathers didn't have Social Security, Unemployment benefits, federal school & health oversight etc.
You were free. Governments purpose was one... to protect your rights. All of these things are nice... but they also, little by little, give us a dependence on government and eventually lead us to an invasive government that does more to take away our freedoms than maintain them.
So... If it meant losing all of the safety nets of today's society... Would you rather be free?
