Freedom and the Left

By Thomas Sowell






http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Most people on the left are not opposed to freedom. They are just in favor of all sorts of things that are incompatible with freedom.


Freedom ultimately means the right of other people to do things that you do not approve of. Nazis were free to be Nazis under Hitler. It is only when you are able to do things that other people don't approve that you are free.


One of the most innocent-sounding examples of the left's many impositions of its vision on others is the widespread requirement by schools and by college admissions committees that students do "community service."

more, and he is right on
