American Dream of Liberty

"America has a dream from our founding fathers. That together we must perfect Liberty. And America must grow so Liberty grows." - Dinesh D'Souza (2016: Obama's America trailer)
To me this simply states why America is different from any other nation on the Earth, prior to our Independence and Founding.

And how we are failing to live up to that simple, powerful principle.

The Founders did not conduct a war with England, nor form the Constitution because they yearned for a greater welfare state, or welfare benefits, or social and economic justice by redistribution, but to establish a Republic of Liberty for each individual.

From that individual Liberty each individual should be personally responsible for the welfare of others, by their voluntary acts, not through the compulsory mandate of government. Only by the act of voluntary welfare to others can Liberty be preserved for everyone.
