Многое мне не нравится в том, что говорит Глен Бек (Glenn Beck).

Но, вот эти его слова о Свободе…

Freedom is not a gift from government, but a right given to us by God. We believe that every human being is endowed with “certain unalienable Rights,” including “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” In 1787, our Founding Fathers met in Philadelphia to forge a new system of government, designed to “form a more perfect union” and guarantee Americans, in the words of Ronald Reagan, “the maximum of personal liberty consistent with order.”

Paramount among the reasons this system succeeded in America was our political and religious culture that accepted the inextricable connection between personal freedom and personal responsibility. It was understood that, for every question in life not answered by government, individuals, families, and neighborhoods must work out answers for themselves. The Founders knew that the natural order of things was for government to expand at the expense of personal liberty, so their Constitution was based on an implicit bargain – the less government does for you, the less government can do to you.

Ссылки не будет. Цитату я взял из рассылки с его сайта.

Америка, как Государство, была построена на этом. И за это я очень уважаю американцев и страну.

Конечно, со временем, появились и неуважение к Свободе других стран и народов. И понимание “этой” Свободы — как “Истины в последней инстанции”. И, как следствие, навязывание “этой Свободы” всем остальным странам..

Но, это все было потом. А, сначала, и в основе, было — это.

Свобода!
