Liberty and Tyranny

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny." -Abraham Lincoln

These powerful words by President Lincoln pierce straight through the heart of the matter pertaining to the true definition of liberty. Liberty equals freedoms, and unalienable rights. And when an individual's liberties begin to be infringed on, there will be a serious problem. Or at least there should be. But alas in the day and world we live in, we are slowly having our civil liberties being taken away from us, particularly taken by big government tactics. We must not let this happen, we must stand strong with our Constitution and Declaration of Independence at our side, and not allow them to be taken from us.

"Give me liberty or give me death!"

-Patrick Henry
