@Canadian_Hue @Tactical_review @KyleKashuv Actually, I agree with you. Many Americans are far less free than they could be. I can't compare it to other countries, but anyone who is a slave to their baser instincts (sexual excess, violence, substance abuse, sloth for example) is not free.
@Canadian_Hue @Tactical_review @KyleKashuv Liberty doesn't mean license. It has to be coupled with industry, initiative, a bit of self-discipline and concern for others. Without those internal constraints, you just get misery - anarchy and chaos.
@Canadian_Hue @Tactical_review @KyleKashuv Millions of Americans have been told - and believe - that "freedom" means "do whatever you want" and "democracy" means "other people pay for the consequences."
Um, no. Doesn't work that way.
All the guns on the planet won't save us from ourselves if enough of us live that way.

@Canadian_Hue @Tactical_review @KyleKashuv But you can't undermine the institutions that instill those values - most notably, the nuclear family and religious faith - and expect the values themselves to survive.
