Abraham Lincoln quote on liberty: |
|
"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."
Sound like anything that's going on today, like the auto bailout vote?

1. In what context Carlie? |
|
Are you talking about Government taking the product of one man's labor and giving it to another?
