Centuries of government deception have suspended our freedom and replaced it with a mythology rich in the ideals we are promised but do not actually experience. The government's lies have become our country's heritage, passed down generationally and accepted over time as status quo. We allow our leaders to regulate, under false pretenses, every area of our supposedly free lives: What we eat, how our money is spent, how we protect ourselves.

Centuries of government deception have suspended our freedom and replaced it with a mythology rich in the ideals we are promised but do not actually experience. The government's lies have become our country's heritage, passed down generationally and accepted over time as status quo. We allow our leaders to regulate, under false pretenses, every area of our supposedly free lives: What we eat, how our money is spent, how we protect ourselves. The basic tenets of living in a free society - the primacy of the individual and limited government - are violated routinely and with little objection from those most affected. Judge Napolitano traces the deterioration of American freedom year by year, event by event, from the birth of the U.S. government to the economic and military crises of today. He illustrates how this distorted interpretation of government translates to loss for Americans - loss of life, loss of property, loss of freedom.
