John Locke was the original Liberal and advocate of Liberalism. But the terms Liberal and Liberalism have been hijacked by the Socialist, Leftist, Big Government Elites that would enslave all to the "Hand of Government."In politics, John Locke is best known as a proponent of limited government. He uses a theory of natural rights to argue that governments have obligations to their citizens, have only limited powers over their citizens, and can ultimately be overthrown by citizens under certain circumstances. The US Founding Fathers would already be shooting when the US Government implemented the Patriot Act, which is anything but Patriotic. "Government, at its best, is but a necessary evil, at its worst, an intolerable one." - Thomas Paine 'Common Sense' 1776We have long past intolerable.
