...The freedom that we practice in the United States of America is not a prize won once and for all. It is more like the top of a hill that governments have attacked, taken, rushed, and fallen off of repeatedly throughout history. And often the force that gets us to the top of the hill is the same force that propels us off of the other side.
It must be carefully climbed, fortified, and actively defended. Our founders knew this. That is why they gave us a law that would keep us atop that hill. It is only within those limitations that we are truly free to roam around the top of the hill without fear of falling off.
Unfortunately, over time our government has reached far beyond those limitations. And while we still enjoy much of our freedom, we do so at a greater risk of slipping off...
