Sure. If there's a war going on. What's that got to do with anything?Which has priority? Life or Liberty. I think life comes first. That is to protect the citizenry from a threat the Government may have to temporarily curb or suspend some liberties until the fight is over.Protecting lives is part of protecting liberty. But it's protecting lives from the acts of others - not from the realities of life. ie government isn't there to feed, clothe and house us.How about government action design to protect the lives of it citizens?If by that you mean that any government action that is not narrowly tailored to protecting our liberty, such government action is improper, then I agree.Some people think of socialism as synonymous with government. As freedom, most especially free trade, is in direct opposition to socialism, it's easy to see how they'd make the mistake of thinking that freedom is anti-government. But the very purpose of government is to protect our liberty, so from that perspective I see government as anti-socialism. If it's to fulfill its core purpose, it must be.
So protecting us from invaders would qualify, yes?
Of course. What are you getting at?
I think it's obvious.
Obvious to you maybe. But if you don't want to share, no worries.
