I’m deeply disturbed by the anti-freedom trend sweeping the West

I came across an interesting story from India recently.

In a landmark animal rights case, the High Court there ruled that birds can no longer be kept in cages.

The judges asserted that birds have a fundamental right to live with dignity and be free.

Incredible. If only we humans had the same fundamental right.

Many of us come from a country that claims to be free.

We grow up singing songs about our freedom, and we are told by our governments that evil men in caves hate us because we are so free.

This is powerful propaganda that starts practically from birth and stays with us for our entire lives.

Even Hollywood does its part with heroic action movies portraying the homeland as strong and free, with evil villains who invariably have foreign accents.

But it’s all a ruse.

Most of us don’t even have the most basic freedom to choose what we can / cannot put in our own bodies, or decide how to educate our children.

The volume of rules, regulations, and laws is so vast now that you can hardly breathe without committing a crime.

And when they’re not busy confiscating private property through ‘civil asset forfeiture’ or shooting defenseless citizens, police now drive around shutting down children’s lemonade stands for failing to have the appropriate permit.

Just this morning the US government’s publication of all the new rules, laws, and regulations totaled 313 pages.

And that’s just for today. Tomorrow there will be more.

Each of these new rules covers the most ridiculous topics– like regulating the way that dishwashers can be sold.

I’m sure we can’t even begin to imagine how horrifying life would be with a rogue dishwasher salesman on the loose.

I’m sure many of our good former Eastern Europe
Americans are wondering how many elected morons,
or morons doing the electing, exist in this city on the hill.
