In a world where the battle for liberty rages on, some might say that the party of God is also the party of freedom. The belief is as old as Galatians 5:1, where it’s said that freedom is the very reason Christ set us free. If freedom was the prize and liberty the purpose, then the party truly inheriting these values would be the ones who understand and cherish them most profoundly. They would recognize that liberty can’t thrive without acknowledging a higher power because, after all, what makes anyone valuable without a divine touch?
Remembering the battles fought on home soil over a century ago, the same spirit that drove the abolition of slavery under leaders like Abraham Lincoln continues to infuse the party today. It’s the party that stood firm against tyranny and upheld human rights when the chips were down. Fast forward to just four years ago, and the party of liberty showed its colors once more, responding to what some called new-age slavery with the wisdom of the past.
Does anyone recall those awkward gatherings, where folks sat in circles during Joe Biden’s events, as if liberty itself had been corralled into socially-distanced pens? The grocery store lines where people were masked like superheroes without capes, double-layered fabrics were smothering the very breath of freedom. The party of liberty remembered what true independence feels like and wasn’t hesitant to remind everyone that liberty is a natural-born trait, not a privilege to be stifled by fear or decree.
Even the youngest among us could sense the shackles of enforced conformity. One remarkable tale involves a six-month-old who, though unable to speak the language of liberty, instinctively knew that masks were meant for the trash. This little girl’s reaction revealed more wisdom than any overpaid “expert” might claim. Her rebellion against the piece of cloth was celebrated as a small yet mighty victory for liberty.
It seems even toddlers have a knack for spotting the absurdity while the rest of the world marches to the drumbeat of compliance. When you walk outside today and see people still clinging to their masks, you can’t help but chuckle at the irony. Perhaps it’s time to let the values of liberty lead, inspire the young to question, and remind everyone that freedom isn’t just an option—it’s the only option for those who understand what being endowed by a creator truly means.
