The Liberty Watch

Liberty is not synonymous with freedom. Without an historical ethical and moral understanding of liberty freedom often becomes anarchy. In <i>the Liberty Watch</i> journalist Charles E. Miller examines the various contexts in which liberty's meaning is obscured or misunderstood in today's society. </p>For more than two hundred years the United States has thrived due to the initial understanding that liberty does not come from a federal government but from an omniscient God. Miller uses the founding documents of America's Judeo-Christian history the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights to support this theory.</p>Unfortunately today's America has largely abandoned the Christian beliefs which inspired the founders in 1789. Morality and rebellion have corrupted the divine concept of liberty resulting in a tainted view of our origins. Miller encourages us to make our own choices according to information conscience and moral-ethical discernment. In addition he explores several concepts relating to liberty and freedom including:</p><ul><li>Religious liberty as political power<li>Moral choice and liberty<li>The police state and civil liberty<li>Liberty and individualism<li>Liberty and religious tolerance</ul></p>Reminiscent of Thomas Paine's <i>Common Sense</i> <i>the Liberty Watch</i> delivers a thoughtful patriotic view of the incredible freedoms citizens of the United States of America enjoy daily.
