A society built on freedom is based on the individual rights that all people have.
LIBERTY IS NOT A BATTLE ...
Liberty is not a battle that requires the conversion of others in order to win. Liberty is won when you accept the fact that you own yourself, that you have individual rights, and no one has the right to violate your rights. When you accept that you are liberated.
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS:
The right to liberty - The right to do whatever you want as long as your not violating the rights of others.
The right to self-defense - The right to defend yourself, your property, and your rights.
The right to keep and bear arms - The right to own and carry firearms on your person.
The right to self-ownership - We own ourselves. No one can claim even partial ownership over you without violating your rights.
The right to free speech - The right to communicate your opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship.
The right to privacy - No one has the right to violate your privacy.
PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM:
All people are born free, created equal, and have certain individual rights. Individual rights cannot be taken away from people.
A society built on freedom is based on the rights that all people have.
All interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
We have the right to defend ourselves. We never have an obligation to let anyone commit aggression against us. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
Any law that violates your rights is null and void. Anyone that violates your rights is a criminal.
We have the right to seek leaders for ourselves but we have no right to force rulers on others. No matter how leaders are selected they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher then those of any other human. No one has the right to murder, enslave, or to steal. We can not give people any rights that we do not have ourselves.
To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to withdraw there consent to be governed.
THE FREEDOM SOLUTION:
There are two kinds of people. People who prefer big government (statists) and people who prefer freedom.
Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior.
People who prefer freedom, want to have a great deal of control over there own lives.
Most people who prefer big government won't change there mind. Most people who prefer freedom won't change there mind. So instead of trying to convert the other side. We should just let each group live the way they want too.
If your a person who prefers freedom then you can have all the freedom you want, as long as you do not violate the rights of others.
If your a person who prefers statism then you can have all the government you want, as long as you do not violate the rights of others.
Freedom means that people get to decide for themselves how they want to live.
