LIBERTY, NOT FREEDOM:
Freedom Isn't What You Think It Is (Douglas Williams, SEPTEMBER 5, 2016, The Federalist)
The concept of freedom is now erroneously championed as "I can do whatever I want." Freedom has been reduced to a completely self-serving ideal that proclaims because I am free I am guaranteed to do and have particular things in life. This concept and the actions and attitudes it produces are key components in the "me and mine" attitude our nation is struggling with. Many are even interpreting freedom to mean that no one should disagree with or fight their views.Freedom has to be bigger, deeper and more than this. Freedom at its core is the ability to do what I ought, not simply what I want.
