Give Dave Diamond liberty or give him…freedom?Knowing the difference between the two, according to the Modesto afternoon radio talk show host, is one of the integral components in firmly understanding the United States Constitution and the rights that it affords individual citizens and society as a whole. Diamond said that the Colonies had freedom as conferred by the crown before and during the American Revolution but they didn’t have true personal liberty.As the speaker at the Manteca Patriots Tea Party meeting Thursday night at Chez Shari, Diamond – who lives in Manteca and is also known as Dave Bowman – used his constitutional knowledge to outline how the diverse group of men who created history’s greatest “living document” did so thinking not of themselves but of those that would come centuries after them. That revelation, Bowman said, came into crystal clear focus for him when his son was born last year.
