Freedom: My Anti-Gov

http://www.bureaucrash.com
"[M]an is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts."

"The problem is that democracy is not freedom... Yet how many Americans know that the word "democracy" is found neither in the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence, our very founding documents?"

"Simply put, freedom is the absence of government coercion...Few Americans understand that all government action is inherently coercive."

"We must reassert that America is a republic, not a democracy, and remind ourselves that the Constitution places limits on government that no majority can overrule. We must resist any use of the word "freedom" to describe state action. We must reject the current meaningless designations of "liberals" and "conservatives," in favor of an accurate term for both: statists."

what does religion have to do with this video? that part about that girl talking about praising god? that's her decision and if YOU try to oppose that decision YOU are being just as restrictive as the religions you oppose.

BTW, can you name the religions that speak about anti abortion, pro war, and anti sex causes in their bibles? or can you just name supposed representatives in those religions?

@jack00008 "T"hat's her decision, "clauses" The rest of it's good. I just don't want you to sound like a dumb baboon who can't understand the language it's communicating in.

@ikiwago, America is not "democratic". Democracy is where the majority rules, and the minority have no voice. America is based on individualism and individual rights. In America, the rights of the minority are protected from the druthers and prejudices of the majority. That's the opposite of democracy.

@ikiwago We have a constitutional democracy. Even if 100% of people voted we have unalienable Rights, that cannot change without discarding the constitution, therefore a different government entirely. We have the greatest form of government in the world. Tell me o though wiser then our founding forefathers concerted minds and declarations, which form of government shall we run the most influential country in the world with?

Freedom is my anti-gov!

Thanks for slamming "democracy"! Democracy sucks and works against freedom and liberty. Democracy is close kin to socialism and communism. I hate when "democracy" is spoken of as if were something good... It is not! Democracy is evil. Let freedom ring!!... To hell with democracy!!!

@GoldeWC You must not have seen the related video "Philosophy of Freedom" the animated one.

It explains the concept - that freedom doesn't allow you to take from others, be it Property, Life, or otherwise.

There is a great difference between Freedom/Liberty and Anarchy. (and nearly everyone who claims to want Anarchy is missing the distinction and actually asking for Liberty instead)

[GoldeWC]

If a person is given ALL THE FREEDOM, who has told you that he won't start doing harmful things to himself???

The problem is that some people can be real arse holes. The solution is to have someone enforce some rules. The problem is when all sorts of 'nice to have' ideologies become law in an attempt to make people behave better. Those enforcing the law end up on a power trip where they think they are better than everyone else.
