Quote:Every day I’m more of a revolutionary, every day I’m more socialist… I’m going to take Venezuela toward socialism, with the people and the workers…The revolution is not negotiable, socialism is not negotiable, because every day I’m more convinced that socialism is the kingdom of God on earth. That is what Christ came to announce.

—Venezuela President Hugo Chávez, El Universal

Haven't we run this experiment?

I feel sorry for Venezuelans. But, there comes a time to stand up to oppression.

The Birth of Freedom - The History of Freedom.

How is freedom born? The trailer for a new documentary being released by the Acton Institute that tells the story of how modern understandings of individual liberty were developed. Check out http://www.thebirthoffreedom.com for information about premieres and related materials.

The American founders said that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They called this a self evident truth. 87 years later, Abraham Lincoln reaffirmed this idea on the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg. And in 1963 these same words echoed from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial as Martin Luther King, Jr. urged America to fulfill the promise of its founding.

But humans are separated by enormous differences in talent and circumstance. Why would anyone believe that all men are created equal? That all should be free? That all deserve a voice in choosing their leaders? Why would any nation consider this a self-evident truth?

For the millions around the world who have never tasted liberty the question cries for an answer
