Liberty worries me the most. We’re losing it. As for equality, everyone has it according to the Declaration of Independence. The problem is people don’t want actual equality, they want equality of outcome. And that will never happen as long as some people work harder than others.

Sanders stands for old-fashioned Robin Hood egalitarianism

Check out the story. Robin Hood didn't steal from the rich and give it to the poor...he kept it himself!

Liberty is on the sidelines these days...I think that is obvious.

The choice is clear to me: LIBERTY!

Liberty, equality, fraternity!

Sort of catchy, isn't it?

Liberty, which is why I can vote for Trump. He and Cruz are the only ones speaking up for this nation and it’s people.

Trump is a clear threat to the Oligarchy and the whole DC bought and paid for house of cards will collapse if he is POTUS. He will set us free of the very system that is choking us to death.

That is precisely why he is feared by DC and the whole corrupt system.

Has no one been following his other stances? Cleaning house in DC-Whole departments gone. Re-negotiation of horrid trade deals where the only loser is the US citizen. A CIC who recognizes the need for a strong military, just like Reagan did. Military bases allowed to be armed! Imagine that, Ft. Hood. Our flag held high.

Trump has good, commonsense positions on many issues. The media keeps flogging the Illegal issue. Meanwhile he has staked out positions of liberty that all of us have been crying for.

Cruz and Palin have his back. What more could we ask for.

Patrick Henry got it right when he famously said “Give me Liberty or give me Death”.

Equality is a phantasm. Liberty is real.

For some, equality of opportunity and outcomes is the ultimate political value


Took only four sentences for the writer to reveal he’s a doofus. Equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes are polar opposites, yet he puts the word “and” between them and treats them as the same thing. Equality of opportunity is a big part of the American understanding of liberty. Equality of outcomes, on the other hand, is a rationale for socialism, which is why his pal Bernie Sanders is a big fan of it.
