What if government is the negation of liberty? WashTimesOpEd
What if the principle underlying democracy is to unleash the government to give the people whatever they want?
What if government does this every day because it wants to tell us how to live? What if no one consented to a government that takes property and freedom from the people it governs? What if, in a democracy, the public treasury has turned into a public trough? What if, in a democracy, those in power find ways around laws intended to limit their power? What if the government is essentially the judge of its own powers?
What if this “liberty for safety in an emergency” offer is the devil’s bargain? What if surrendering liberty does not lead to safety, but only more government? What if no rational person has surrendered to government the liberty to walk the streets, to go to work, to operate and patronize lawful businesses, and to absolutely control one’s own body? What if the Fifth Amendment commands that the government cannot take property rights without paying the owner their fair market value?
