Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.

That quote from Benjamin Franklin cuts right to today's politics, 247 years later.

Both sides of the political aisle use fear to push their agenda.

Climate change, a threat to our democracy, white supremacists, covid, and monkeypox are shouted from the left.

The right yells rising crime, socialism, the new world order, and an invasion from the southern border.

Governments and politicians use scare tactics constantly.

We are a nation founded on personal liberty regardless of your political views.  We as individuals must start taking responsibility for ourselves again.

That is why I end every show with, "protect your liberties.  Once they're gone, there is no getting them back."
