The Declaration of Liberty

I encourage everyone who values liberty over equality of outcome to consider the new Declaration of Liberty, written by Michael P. Farris, J.D. and found at this location.

This declaration is based on the same absolute principles of unalienable rights as those in the Declaration of Independence, and in the Bill of Rights. For this reason it will likely be found objectionable by Atheists, including Atheist libertarians. But it clearly differentiates between liberty and amoral anarchy of libertinism without absolutes.

The idea that amoral anarchy is really liberty is defeated by the realization that no anarchy is ever stable, but is ripe for exploitation by the power hungry, and not coincidentally, amoral.

This declaration follows on the heels of another declaration, that of Mark Levin in "Liberty and Tyranny, A conservative Manifesto", in which he enumerates a ten point manifesto.

There is little doubt that libertarians and Obamatarians will collide with serious consequences in the not too distant future; coexistence is not possible under the "my way only" policy of the One. Obama and the secular relativists will not relent, and the only option short of an election miracle in '10, will be drastic.

These two documents might just be the embryonic form of an awakening grassroots force for liberty, in the face of top-down egalitarianism.
