Always a topic in politics, yet more so now than ever in recent history for most Americans. Being that I and some of you lean "Libertarian", I think it''s time we dedicate a thread to "LIBERTY".
~
Broadly speaking, liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. ...
Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law without depriving anyone else of their freedom.
Freedom is more broad in that it represents a total lack of restraint or the unrestrained ability to fulfill one's desires.
civ·il lib·er·ty
/ˈsivil ˈlibərdē/
noun
the state of being subject only to laws established for the good of the community, especially with regard to freedom of action and speech.
"security measures can be taken without seriously compromising privacy and civil liberty"
individual rights protected by law from unjust governmental or other interference.
plural noun: civil liberties
"growing threats to our civil liberties"
How Politicians Will Exploit Coronavirus To Further Restrict Our Rights
Citizens must be wary of the attempt to redirect legitimate concern about coronavirus into a mandate for sweeping new government powers.
Civil liberties are a delicate thing. Governments are instituted among people to protect rights, rather than create them. In the midst of necessary action at the federal, state, and local level, citizens must be wary of the attempt to redirect legitimate concern about coronavirus into a mandate for sweeping new government powers.
A full 74 percent of voters support a nationwide lockdown due to the pandemic. With the American public desperate for answers and solutions, this could allow our politicians breathing room to craft poisonous legislative packages that will negatively affect our economic standing, personal rights, and political perspective for decades.
Take it from Barack Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who said to “never let a serious crisis go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
