here is the answer to your individual liberty above country viewpoint. "There can be no liberty unless the moral foundation of liberty is safeguarded. We can dismiss many of the casual uses of the metaphor of war as overblown but the preservation of our national understanding that liberty is for the sake of justice is most literally a vital national interest. As the Declaration makes clear, our struggle for freedom from external constraint must be understood as flowing from a deeper truth -- that we are obliged by our very nature to seek to accomplish the will of our Creator and to order the instruments we need, including government and its limitations, so we may do that will. Cut-off from this deeper understanding, the struggle for liberty is merely the petulant demands of a talking beast." .......................................................................... A free people must understand what freedom is. And in our present situation the law must not be permitted to contribute to the widespread confusion of liberty with licentiousness. Liberty is not an abstract right to do whatever we feel like without regard to the consequences. It especially does not mean this in those areas where the consequence of abuse is to destroy liberty. If we want to hold on to liberty, then we must limit those abuses that will destroy it. We can't have it both ways. This means that at some level, in the laws of a free society, limits must be set which respect the requirements of freedom. and lincoln on habeous corpus...
