That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood; it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances; what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?” I think that people often tend to choose a benevolent form of slavery over freedom. Only a good people want genuine freedom; people without virtue want someone else to pick up their tab, pay their debts for them, and make sure that they can never fail regardless of whether they try to succeed or not. I would rather starve to death than live as a fat slave. That means I despise liberalism. Alexis de Tocqueville described the future American government he saw coming:

This is their mantra, this is their life. They have definately crossed the line. Most intelligent people eventually demand free will. Isn’t going to happen. This is their mantra, this is their life.
