Show False Liberalism Liberalism is one of the greatest and most honorable of words. But few words have been so misused and abused. In the light of that, this excefpt from a recent speech of Herbert Hoover's is well worth remembering: "It is a false liberalism that expresses itself by federal operation of business in competition with the citizen. It is the road not to more liberty but to less liberty. True liberalism is found not in striving to spread bureaucracy, but in striving to set bounds to it. True liberalism seeks all legitimate freedom, in the confident belief that without freedom, all other blessings are in vain. Liberalism is a force truly of the spirit coming from a realization that economic freedom free-dom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved." |
