Wisdom From the Founders: What Is Necessary for Liberty?

Source: Town Hall
by Mark Lewis

“Government has always been a necessary [sic] evil in the world, and it behooves those who love power and control over others to not only enhance that power and control by expanding government but also to persuade their citizens that government is the source of their liberty and happiness. The Democratic Party certainly preaches and practices that and has convinced countless Americans that it is true. Indeed, for many, government is basically the center and all-sustainer of their existence. Kamala will even buy you a car seat for your baby if you need one. The ones she lets live. But as James Madison said, and all of our Founders knew, it isn’t the government that produces freedom and happiness or gives them to you. Whatever the government gives, it can take away.” (10/19/24)
