Greetings my fellow patriots, Americans.
This month I've decided to pick up and read this new book; the subtitle of which is The Declaration of Independence and The Right to Liberty, published by the CATO Institute.
It appears to be a very well researched and footnoted scholarly reference, of only 160 pages, so it should be a quick read. From the reviews and my first glance at the book, I believe it will be every bit as good or better than the many other CATO publications.
The bottom line, is that the purpose of the government, OUR government, is to secure and protect our Liberties, not compromise them.
page 2:
"Freedom is the starting point of politics; governments powers are secondary and derivative and therefore limited"
"People are born with Liberty; their rights are not privileges that government gives to them as it pleases. Legitimate government is based on, and bound by their Rights."
"Liberty is the goal at which democracy aims, not the other way around."
Did you know that the word democracy is not even in the Constitution, but the word Liberty is.
Let's read this book together.
