We have mistaken liberty for license in this country...
In liberty, we have the freedom to do what we ought to do. That compels order and concern for the welfare of your country and countrymen. We used to have liberty in this country. The Libertarians and liberals are giving us license. This is freedom without the social conscience. We become a nation at drift as we no longer consider right or wrong, only ourselves. We work but we work without societal purpose—for self-gratification. This has led to a bastardization of Adam Smith’s invisible hand. The invisible hand was made up of the individual decisions of the citizens and concluded in the common good. License has turn this hand into clenched fist holding tight to itself and whatever it can grab. With no thought to right, we raid the public trough. With no thought to justice, we litigate in search of our own personal lottery.
In Communism, you lack personal freedom but you are working for the common good. It is a society without a soul and without life but, like an ant colony, it has a purpose. It will eventually wither as it lack innovation and industry... but it will drive its slaves mercilessly until its collapse.
This is why Communism is strong in peace and we are strong in war. Communism marches on inexorably when unconfronted. Liberty (and license) strikes out harshly against enslavement... until it eventually enslaves the society in anarchy.

I say to you again, well PLAYED, sir!
Cheers!

WRONG the nanny statists like who want to legislate morality have taken away the 2nd side of the coin of liberty/accountability. You have taken away personal responsibility and so we have liberty without regard for our actions on the part of some because government will take care of it. Government will take care of me so I dont have to and I don’t have to look out for my fellow because government will take care of him.
