So, a few weeks back, Ted Cruz was lambasted for daring to share his belief that freedom was a gift of God, and not that of  the government.  How each of us feels about Senator Cruz’s belief should not be based upon our feelings about the Texas lawmaker, but the truth.  Just because one doesn’t like the Senator doesn’t mean that he is wrong.

I, for one, agree wholeheartedly with Senator Cruz.  May I also point out that I feel the government is protector of my freedom, but not the grantor.  By the way, Ted Cruz and I stand in good company.  Thomas Jefferson is quoted below.
