We have to recognize that the freedom of the individual has to be protected not only from the power of the state, but even more so from economic and societal power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility.
Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom.
Freedom is the recognition of necessity.
Within the United States, we have put great emphasis upon political freedoms. Because it has been our experience that these freedoms can lead to others.
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state.
I believe, basically, that individual freedom is very important.
We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.
Freedom cannot be given... It can only be taken away.
