“The official theme song of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign is ‘Freedom’ by Beyonce. But a more accurate theme would be the Rolling Stones classic, Under my Thumb. Vice President Harris is seeking the presidency as the greatest champion of freedom in modern times. But Kamala-style freedom will only unleash the government, not private citizens. The original Bill of Rights created a row of bulwarks for citizens to prevent government oppression. In the era of the American Revolution, it was a common saying: ‘The Restraint of Government is the True Liberty and Freedom of the People.’ But Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, are offering a ‘freedom,’ seemingly inspired by Yugoslavian communist dictator Tito: ‘The more powerful the State, the more freedom.’ … Harris-Walz Freedom requires maximum government interference in daily life.” (10/14/24)
