“Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. ”

Remembering that our 'rights' come not from government but are "God-given."  That is to say, that our rights are innate and a faculty of birth.  Recognizing that we are a 'creation' born of an intelligent design is key to understanding that Liberty is a gift and defending it a responsibility.  Human history appears to reflect the ongoing struggle of 'liberation' from that which wishes to subject us to rule.  Let's first start with "the truth shall make you free."

Archer, extremely well said.  Being removed into kingdoms of the earth is exemplified by the occupying statist theocracy currently infesting this land. “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. ” (2 Peter 2:19)

I don't understand any of this quote.  We are in extreme need of mature adult responses to the problems of the present world.  We have an arrangement of actors with childish attitudes.  The "competitive" attitude we carry into our relations is counterproductive, driving us backwards with the result of a cave man with a cell phone atmosphere.  Got phones but can't say a rational coherent grunt into to it.  We are in intense need of a mature productive type of mindset.
