That’s too bad. You know so little of liberty that you suspect Ayn Rand (or insert any Godless intellectual) is the author of liberty?

Try again.

Natural Law is God’s law, not the absence of law, but simple objective law.

Government made law is not. There’s some 50,000 federal statutes. Can you honestly say you’ve never violated any one of them?

Stop tolerating infringements on liberty in the name of safety.

Quiz: Who said, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”? Hint: Not Ayn Rand

You almost had me fooled for second, but then you had to go and write the following:

Natural Law is God’s law, not the absence of law, but simple objective law.

Objective law is all about the atheist Ayn Rand. "The Association for Objective Law was formed in 1988 to advance Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, as the basis of a proper legal system."

Atheism is the cause of more laws. Christian's are self governed by the laws of God.

Stop tolerating infringements on liberty in the name of safety.

Stop defending irresponsible behavior, it infringes on the rights of those that are law abiding.

Look up some other quotes by Ben Franklin; you'll see that personal responsiblity plays a role in his thinking as well. "Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society."
