To all of you Venezuela "naysayers", I offer you this consolation. We have heard many times "Freedom Is Not Free"! The greatest virtue America holds sacrosanct, above all others, becouse all others depend on this one, is"Liberty"! Liberty is the foundation of freedom itself. America is the culmination of the extension of civil liberties to mankind, after hundreds of years of rulership by kings, despots, war lords, and tyrants. Liberty was the greatest experiment mankind has ever tried to perform! So far America is the beacon of freedom everyone looks to for the protection of civil liberties. We are up against the greatest adversary we have ever faced that wants to extinguish the light of freedom world wide: "Collectivism"! Collectivism does not see individuals as created in the image of a divine creator, but merely as cogs in the wheel of the state to allow more and more incursions into the life of individuals choices for their own destiny. The Venezuelan people are cheering in the streets that their libertarian loving neighbor to the north freed them from a communist dictator! I am glad we are not jealous of our freedoms but want to share and demonstrate to the whole world, that humankind was meant to be born FREE. These sacred liberties were forged in the fires of the Magna Carta itself and took root in the freedom loving people of America! Our president is keeping vigil over these sacred liberties and not letting the lessons of the past get swept away in the winds of modernity and globalism! We are to hold our freedom in sacred trust and extend it to all individuals in this world.We are to guard this freedom with utter vigilance, before we lose the patrimony our forefathers left us!
Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson in 1787,
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
