“Interwoven is the love of liberty with every ligament of the heart.”

Could it be any plainer?

Those of the statist theocracy infesting this land have no substantive love of liberty within their heart but rather, are those "who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness."

Interwoven in the hearts of Nancy,Ralph,Obama,and the rest of that bunch, is not freedom but socialism.

That is why Obama has to rip the heart out of everyone.

Laws of nature 101. 

Indeed!  The real enemy is not an over-reaching government, but a citizenry that does not value freedom in their hearts.  Without a citizenry that loves freedom, their representatives will further their dependency until they are nothing more than the subjects of the crown from which the American Revolution liberated them.  That's another reason to stop trying to be more like Britain and Europe — they do not know freedom and have little to no respect for it.
