Famed economist and columnist Walter Williams says America has embraced the government thievery of personal property to benefit others, and he says the politicians are only doing what the voters want them to do.
Williams is a distinguished professor of economics at George Mason University. He is a syndicated columnist and has substituted for talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. His new book, a collection of his conservative-to-libertarian columns, is titled American Contempt for Liberty.
The title may sound a bit harsh, but Williams insists thats exactly whats happening in this country.
The average American thinks that it is indeed moral for the Congress to forcibly use one American to serve the purposes of another American, Williams told WND and Radio America. It will forcefully use one American to serve the purposes of farmers in term of farm subsidies or bank bailouts or welfare or food stamps...

The Hebrew Prophets wrote of a future generation that would cast off all restraint, ignore the wisdom of their parents and the previous generations, be clean in their own eyes, and persecute those who need God. It appears that that day is upon us, not by some outside force, but from within.
The openly Marxist public school system factory has churned a generation that cannot get enough of the benefits socialism. Government is now the solution, not the problem. At the heart of this movement is a liberation theology free from the oppression of God, morals, ethics, personal responsibility, and freedom. State is now god in the eyes of this young generation. This new generation is casting off all the baggage of America's last 240 years and boldly going where others, like Russia and Argentina have gone before. But where will it lead? What does the Bible say the outcome will be?
1. The grave (death)
2. The barren womb (childlessness)
3. Drought (physical and spiritual)
4. Fire (Hell for those who follow this generation)
“We have to somehow get our fellow American to believe in the moral superiority of personal liberty”
We do! Oh, but only w/regards to sex drugs and rock n roll.
Corruption of our governing institutions and society flowed downward from politicians and judges, not upward from the people.
That was a long but very good interview. Worth the listening to.
We must comprise ourselves a remnant. The majority is lost. Statism, abortion, homosexuality and pornography are the fundamental concerns of a preponderance of Americans. We must divorce ourselves from them and focus on strengthening our convictions and beliefs. We are at war with satan. Compromise will only yield failure. The enemy surrounds us. Hold the center at all cost.
Williams is right on the money... and freedom too.
I’ve often wondered about Isaiah 3:12, “As for my people, children are their oppressors and women will rule over them......”
“Children are their oppressors” also means we are ruled by children, like the Obama administration and the character of people in govt.
Also, Isaiah 1:3, “Even an ox has knowledge of its owner and the ass its master’s crib, but Israel does not know.”
Yes, this certainly fits as well. Led by ill equipped people who think they actually know something. Dunning-Krueger Effect.
