"We need to persuade our fellow man around the globe that liberty is a necessary ingredient for prosperity." -Walter Williams

Libertarianism is no answer to liberty. Remember the French experiment in libertarianism that resulted in justice by the guillotine. For liberty to produce prosperity it must be upheld by law. The colonial Americans appealed to Natural Law and a Free Church, having the foundation of an open and authoritative Bible. The French had neither and their Revolution ended in authoritarianism, while the Americans won their independence and then enjoyed personal liberty along with personal responsibility.
Experiments in the suppression of Natural Law are now being tried in America. The churches are being compromised by autonomous reason. Are we gaining liberty or is tyranny gaining ground? Libertarianism and socialism are different paths to tyranny because they are not grounded in Natural Law.
