Half-baked. Ben Shapiro can be like that.
“Liberty survived”? Which “Liberty” would that be?
Somewhere around 1913 we got the Federal Income Tax, the Federal Reserve, and some other Progressive goals passed into law.
My idea of Liberty took a further hit during the New Deal era of FDR.
And who can forget LBJ’s Great Society?
Liberty? Bah.....that is just “feel-good” talk. And I guess it help’s Ben Shapiro to sell books.
