“If we intend to use the word freedom in an honest way, we should have the simple integrity to give it real meaning: Freedom is living without government coercion. So when a politician talks about freedom or liberty − regardless of the issue being discussed − ask yourself whether he is advocating more government force or less. ‘Conservatism,’ meanwhile, once meant respect for tradition and distrust of active government. But in recent decades conservatism has been redefined as support for big-government grandiosity via military adventurism,corporatism and inflationary monetary policy.”
