War on Freedom
So, do you think the war on freedom will ever end? I honestly don’t. I think it’s been going on for centuries, and while sometimes freedom gets ahead, the war on freedom will continue as long as governments exist. I was just reading an article about the next “war” — the possibly coming “war on illegals.” Now I don’t think that war is coming — neither Obama or McCain have ANY interest in stopping any illegals at any time. And no, the two of them honestly don’t care what YOU want, they will do what they want. But looking at the article, it writes about the various previous “wars” that are all utter and total failures:
The war on alcohol. How did prohibition work out? The war on poverty? $10 trillion and we still have poor people (and they STILL vote Democrat?). The war on drugs? Hundreds of completely innocent people dead. I think the big connection between all these is freedom. Government is the enemy of freedom. All these “wars” are about taking freedom away from otherwise law abiding, peaceful citizens that are not harming anyone.
And the war continues.
The latest is a “war” on gas prices and lending. Government is working hard to take away the freedom to invest money. Yes, because government wants to do something, and because their enemy is freedom, they’re trying to stop people from buying and selling oil. The only effect that will have is a loss of freedom. Oh, and slightly delayed increases in prices of gasoline. Government also wants to reduce economic freedom even more by stopping you from lending money. That’s right, if you have cash and want to lend it to someone, the government wants to stop you.
It’s a clear war on freedom, and the government is the enemy.

I stumbled over this quotation a couple days ago, and it seems to apply:
No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session.
Judge Gideon J. Tucker, 1826-1899
So true — and that’s what makes government so bad. Those who want to be left alone and have freedom and liberty tend to not want to be in government where they are a part of taking away freedom and liberty!
