I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh show and heard an interesting quote. (Now, he is usually filled with a lot of crap, but I listen and filter out the junk, propaganda, and things that I don't agree on.) But he stated a few quotes that I thought was all too true and wanted you guys' take on it.
Please note, lets focus this on the quotes themselves and not that it came from the Rush Limbaugh show...
The quote goes like this:
"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." -Ayn Rand-
"Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guaruntees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours." -MaxedOutMama-
What do you guys think, first as an individual living in America, and second, as an American citizen?
Stay on this discussion... don't need to talk about current or previous administrations or anything like that... just want your two cents on what Liberty and individual freedoms mean to you.
