Too many people want all the perks of Liberty and freedom without shouldering the responsibilities that come with it nor are they willing to accept the consequences. Liberals have created a society in which it's never a person's fault for their own actions....there's always someone else to blame.
@txradioguy You missed the gist of that statement. Think of it more as Liberty and Freedom not being the same thing.
Our fathers fought and died, and laid their bodies low to give us a chance at liberty. Too many confuse that liberty with libertine (freedom).
In the end, we are not a free people. In the words of Bob Dylan, waxing prophetic, '
You've Got to Serve Somebody".
Liberty, it turns out, is found in service - I would submit that it is only found in service to the Father, and the precepts he laid down in law - The very precepts our beloved country was founded upon... But in service, nonetheless.
Thus "Liberty has responsibilities,"
Freedom is a whole nuther thing. You are free to partake of the things outside of that service, and many do - Living a life of debauchery, addiction, or winding up doing time...
Thus, "Freedom has consequences".
I think it a comparative worthy of note.
