Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the Liberal Democrats in Great Britain Stands Up For……American Style Freedoms! – Where Are American Leaders Standing Up For Freedom and Liberty in America? – We Certainly Don’t See or Hear Them! – Nick Clegg Sounds Like Thomas Jefferson or even…Winston Churchill! – In the New World Our Leaders Are Letting the Wall Street Bastards and Companies Like BP Run Wild With the American People Taking It In the Back – Yes, That Seems to be Working Out Well!
Just to show how out of control the United States Federal Government is today, it takes the leader of the Liberal Democrats and member of new Coalition Government in Great Britain, Nick Clegg, to lead the way on the Importance of Freedom in a modern Democratic society.
Nick Clegg in an Op-Ed in The Telegraph lays out a set of principles that Elected Leaders of all stripes in America should be proclaiming, but all the Buffoons in Washington DC do is argue with each other over nothing while the “Neutered Media” is little more than a part of and willing participants in these Idiots foolishness.
Your Freedom: Britain’s liberty is at stake – it is time to have your say
Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister of Great Britain:
“During their 13 years in power, the Labour Government developed a dangerous reflex. Faced with whatever problem, legislation increasingly became the standard response. Something needs fixing? Let’s pass a new law.
And so, over the last decade, thousands of new rules and regulations have amassed on the statute book. And it is our liberty that has paid the price. Under the cover of pretending to act in our best interest, the state has crept further and further into people’s homes and their private lives. That intrusion is disempowering. It needs to change.
The Coalition Government is determined to restore great British freedoms. Major steps have been taken already. ID cards have been halted. Plans are underway to restrict the storage of innocent people’s DNA. Schools will no longer be able to take children’s fingerprints without their parents consent.
But we need to do more. The culture of state snooping has become so ingrained that we must tackle it with renewed vigour. And, especially in these difficult times, entrepreneurs and businesses need our help. We must ensure we are not tying them up in restrictive red tape.
So today we are taking an unprecedented step. Based on the belief that it is people, not policymakers, who know best, we are asking the people of Britain to tell us how you want to see your freedom restored.
We are calling for your ideas on how to protect our hard won liberties and repeal unnecessary laws. And we want to know how best to scale back excessive regulation that denies businesses the space to innovate. We’re hoping for virtual mailbags full of suggestions. Every single one will be read, with the best put to Parliament.
It is a radically different approach. One based on trust. Because it isn’t up to government to tell people how to live their lives. Our job is to empower people, giving you the freedom and support to thrive. That belief is right at the heart of this Coalition. And both coalition parties recognise that Whitehall doesn’t have a monopoly on the best ideas.
So, finally, after years in the wilderness, freedom is back in fashion. This is our chance to redraw the boundaries between citizen and state. It’s your chance to have your say.”
Your Freedom: Britain’s liberty is at stake – it is time to have your say
Amen to that Thomas Jefferson…..Oh, that is Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats in Great Britain that wrote that? Sure sounds like Thomas Jefferson to us here at Mad As Hell And…!
This is very simple: As America is descending into more control of the American People by governments on all levels and here we have a leader in Great Britain that is working to pull back their former great country from the “1984” that their country has become. Don’t believe that? Just visit London which is “1984” on steroids and a miserable place where one’s every movement is tracked by video cameras with the Idiots sitting “On High” watching everyone and thus destroying the freedom that Great Britain used to stand for around the world.
No, Nick Clegg is not Winston Churchill, but this is one Hellava start Mr. Clegg. One Hellava start and ironically coming on the Weekend when Americans Celebrate our Declaration of Independence and the Freedoms that our Elected Buffoons in Government seem to have forgotten and care little about anymore. Our Government Leaders just want more control of the American People’s lives and more of our hard earned money while they let the Wall Street Bastards and companies like BP run wild in the country. Yes, that approach is working out really well!
