I actually agree with this to a great degree. Folks gotta get right with Jesus for liberty to flourish....that is, I think liberty and peace depend upon what lies in men's hearts first and foremost.
Bourgeois respect for neighbors is the cornerstone of liberty. In certain circumstances it may require fighting and spilling one's own blood, but 99 times out of 100 liberty requires not acting like a petty tyrant to one's neighbors.
