'The Battle Of Big Ideas, Part 1: CONSTRAINED VS. UNCONSTRAINED'
Bill really hits the nail on the head here,especially in his comparison of the American Revolution to the French Revolution.
The American Revolution was founded upon 2 great pillars,the ideals of justice and liberty,and within the shadows of these pillars our free soiciety grew.What our Founding Fathers understood was that to have true liberty and true justice they both must coexist.Without justice,liberty would transform into anarchy,and without liberty,justice would mutant into tyranny,each one must be held in tension with the other for both to survive.
