Fake...I don't see him championing freedom of speech today. Did he die? 

False. Govt is to protect borders from despots who would take our rights. That is the original context from western civilization

Today's left is not using proper English words to describe equality they describe equity as if it means equal. The so-called living constitution is to bastardize meaning. 

Although she is correct, like a Marxist she insulted our Christian nation namely the Bill of Rights and "The Perfect Law of Liberty." She was and still is a double edge sword. Her work should be avoided by free people, less we forget where are values lay.

Weak...since public education is only suppose to be for economics, ie reading writing and math, the rest is ALL propaganda. Public education started at the beginning of the Industrial revolution and it's only purpose is economics.

The appearance of freedom will remain in place until man can overcome all of his vices. An express contract by the people defends us against absolute tyranny. 

God given because rights have consequences promised by holy writ, expressed that man should protect them with organized govt. Nature's God. Mises covered the problem with modernists taking God out of the equation, ie Marx, 

The DOI was put into mothballs in 1789 and should have been left there. We live under an express contract, Lockean in it's Bill of Rights and common law, Hobbesian in it's Civil Law. The DOI has been misrepresented since the Dred Scott Case.

Nope. You can't just lump all people and govt together as bad. The Bill of Rights is divine, the bureaucracies the left push are not. You have to dichotomy and be rational about it, and don't hook up with Rothbard's illogical feelings. The entire quote is a contradiction on liberty and justice.

No in today's leftism means oppression and not equality. A sad state of affairs and an indictment against modern education in public schools that preach anarchy in the same breath as big govt. 

Spot on. Something is worse than the war for men that are free, and that is slavery

Mencken is self-loathing since we are the govt. This quote has nothing to do with liberty, rather it is nihilism in it's worst form..

You don't become free just because you say so, you are free when you obey Nature and Natures God. 

Good advice. 

There is no guarantees for freedom. The principles held sacred are not in the interest of the average politician. You believe providence is on your side, but God only sides with His natural laws and not man.

This is just a word salad, with no exact ethos, rather a nebulous collection of unorganized thought. 

Spot on. The enlightenment period produced the best scholars.

Lame. Laws are only valid from Nature and Natures God. Those laws are followed by the greater man.

Christ said nothing less here then Lao. This is a natural law. 

Lame. Work and toil give purpose, no matter what becomes of it. It's not future tense, but a present tense should one become depressed by expectations. 

Lame. A true statesman learns from his mentors, his masters who understand the mysteries of govt. He has the duty to outmaneuver the tyrants and has nothing to learn from them but how not to be.

Shaw the not so liberty-loving socialist claims busybodies interfering in the lives of others is honorable. I wouldn't trade one anarchist living in the swamps of Lousiana for 1,000 of his so-called honorable men who cause damage on humankind. 

Lame.French lame. Being that nature's laws have to be strictly followed or you are a slave to your own ego. Ya don't go down the road to proto Marxism with the ideas of French theory on liberty or you still are not free and never will be.

This is foundational to Marxism. The other is redistribution of wealth, ie violence and vandalism. Today's leftist cities are walking in the same footsteps and into oblivion. Stand aside and let them crash but defend your suburbs and rural areas, you have no other option. 

Need is associated with survival. In times of peace without invasion, war and pandemics the quote is applicable.The author doesn't delve into the war man has on each other, our nations and on nature. War destroys capital, war diminishes our right's. It's a sad day when greed and consumerism overtakes are sensibilities as in the current cause of this pandemic.
