Facebook Doodlings – on Freedom of Choice

Someone wrote:

Liberty means Freedom of Choice. It does NOT means Freedom from Consequences.

My response:

The Progressives believe in neither clauses of the assertion – they believe that THEY should be the ones that set which choices are available AND they are trying to socialize all the risk (e.g., the person making the wrong decision should not suffer any consequence but that the rest of us should mitigate the cost of that mistake on the part of the person).

In other words, they already classify the mistake maker as a "victim" that must be rescued.

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
