Matters of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of True Happiness
Nov. 21, 2007 - Those of you who think Giuliani loves freedom should think again.
“What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.” - Rudy Giuliani
I was stunned when I first read this. Apparently, those of us who believe freedom is the ability to think and act for ourselves are delusional. According to Giuliani, freedom is doing what Big Brother tells us to do. Giuliani is an authoritarian who would seem to be at home in the role of a paternalistic dictator.
If this is where the Good Ship America is headed, where do I get off the boat? We're sorely in the need of a course correction.
Vote Ron Paul!
