We speak of Freedom. We claim the inheritance of Liberty that Freedom’s Creator has provided for us, but what is freedom?
Action without Consequence is what some would answer, but that is unnatural in design. One only needs to try to break the laws of physics to show that actions have consequences. If the same One responsible for physics’s laws created Freedom and grants us rights, then the realm of freedom must parallel the rest of Creation.
A society that can act of its own accord is indeed free, but there must be rule of law; any society without codified laws resorts to a basic law of “Might makes Right” or rule by strength. In such an anarchistic society, only the strong are free, the weak are as oppressed as any socialistic society. Freedom is crushed as easily by lack of law as by overaction of law.
To protect the weak from oppression our Founding Fathers, from whom we gain ability to strive for and protect rights granted by Freedom’s Creator, made a society in which our rule of law protected each of us from one another and from the rule of law itself. It is through that protection that we, the Sons and Daughters of Liberty, can provide our needed responsibility required by each right.
That provision of Responsibility for Rights is Freedom and we can only achieve that through due diligence in our lives to preserve our Constitution from the very people promising us a sedate and entitled life through Governmental Involvement.
Hello! Here’s my first post at the blog.
Can we post links at this blog? If so, how? – via a standard ahref tag? (I found a couple of articles I thought you and your readers might find interesting. They’re off topic, though.)
Yes, posting links would use the HTML tags, so Link Name (without spaces) would create the link. Welcome to the Sons and Daughters of Liberty and Freedom.
