In Defense of Freedom

About

From an economic standpoint, I’ve always believed in free market capitalism. The concept that my money belongs to me and I can do what I want with it just feels right. The free market is also the only system that we know of that can bring the masses out of poverty. With respect to my life, it belongs to me and I am free to do what I want as long as I do not violate the life of another. This is the concept of liberty.

I am Tommy Leung and I am a freedom lover. My political views were solidified by the Presidential Campaign of Ron Paul. Dr. Paul provided the catalyst that brought all my scattered beliefs together into a coherent idea. His campaign compelled me to learn and better understand the concepts of freedom and liberty.

I am for limited government. I used to consider myself a Democrat but, that was only because I didn’t know any better. Economically, government intervention always leads to waste. Politically, government intervention leads to negative unintended consequences. The solution to both of these problems is to ensure government is small and bound by the chains of our Constitution.

That is not the case in present day America. Our politicians pass bills in Congress and become law regardless of whether they violate the Constitution. My main political mission is to reintroduce people to the concept of liberty. It will not be easy but, liberty is worth fighting for.

The purpose of this blog is to provide political commentary to the news and events of today through the lens of liberty.

Patrick Henry did say it best, “Give me Liberty, or give me Death” because Liberty is Life.
