“How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to.” In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.

Another sad day in the decline of freedom in the world.  Freedom is a precious thing that must be protected at all costs, once lost it is difficult to reclaim.  This quotation just about says it all:

Not too long ago two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, “We don’t know how lucky we are.” And the Cuban stopped and said, “How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to.” In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.

Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964

There are two ways to allocate all resources, by free choices between free people or force.  The point of the gun is the method of thugs, power-hungry politicians, parasites, and dictators.  Will you choose freedom or thuggery?

Good cannot be accomplished by evil means.
