I Hereby Secede →
Something we all should do.
Some will dismiss such a declaration as merely symbolic, lacking any legitimate authority. By how does it contain any less authority than a state and constitution created by others a couple centuries before you were born? Here is my declaration:
I, Roger Young, a sovereign, free-born...

How the war mongers stole the American right →
Most on the right forget, are just ignorant to the fact, or flat out lie about the old right. It wasn’t that long ago that the American right was the anti-war and anti-interventionist party. The statist have taken over the new right. They know the best way to strengthen the government is through war.
Thankfully we have Ron Paul. Who is trying his best to take the party back to their...

Ron Paul's foreign policy focus →
He is the only one preaching non-interventionism and a complete pull out from the mid east and around the world. Unlike his counter parts in the Republican party and Barack Obama who basically agree completely on foreign policy.
One doesn’t have to agree with all of Ron Paul’s libertarian views to admire his principled anti-interventionism and opposition to America’s eternal wars: clearly...
the-giggles asked: What exactly is a libertarian? I'm guessing it's political judging by your blog, but it is it more left, right, center, conservative or liberal? When I see libertarian I think of liberal, but I don't feel like your blog represents that. So my thoughts next turn to liberties, which would be more conservative per say.

Banksters vs the people →
Over at TomWoods.com
I had a laugh at the expense of poor Kyle Victor of HuffPo, who tried to pretend that abolishing the Federal Reserve would amount to a great windfall for the financial sector at the expense of the people.
Thanks to a comment on my blog, I’m reminded of what the great Jacksonian editorial writer William Leggett, whom I have spoken about in the past, had to say about banks,...

The Ten Principles of a Free Society →
by Ron Paul
1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.
2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.
3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be...

Libertarians, like any group, have been fighting... →
Every group, protest, organization, or basically anywhere there is a mass group of people you will find a handful of idiots. Doesn’t matter if it is at an anti-war protest, a Tea Party protest, or a political party. There are crazies everywhere.

Dear Fox News,
good-gollymissmolly:
If Iran did close the Straits of Hermus, no it would not be an “irrational” decision. It would be a counter strike against the ridiculous decision of the US to impose harsh sanctions on the country.
I really hate how the government of this country refuses to see how their actions have consequences and these consequences are not “irrational”. They’re a direct effect.

A short clip of Ron Paul talking about the racist... →
Sounds like he is totally a racist.
At the same time the now infamous Ron Paul “racist” newsletters were released Ron Paul was publicly giving speeches decrying the racist drug war. Ron Paul stated that drugs should be legal and that drugs were illegal for two reasons. One of the reasons was (and still is) to create the means to target minorities for arrest and imprisonment by making ...

Is America losing control →
by Pat Buchanan
“Events are in the saddle and ride mankind.”
In describing 2011, few cliches seem more appropriate. For in this past year, we Americans seemed to lose control of our destiny, as events seemed to be in the saddle.
While President Barack Obama maneuvered skillfully to retain a fighting chance to be re-elected, the economy showed no signs of returning to the...

Even though the President of the NCAAP has come out and said Ron Paul isn’t a racist.
Even though many of black people have made youtube videos showing their support for Ron Paul.
Doesn’t matter that Ron Paul was one of the few doctors in a still prejudice Texas in the 70s who would deliver black babies.
But none of that matters to them. They are no better than the liberals the...

Ben Bernanke is a domestic terrorist →
At least according to the US government guidelines.
The United States Department of Justice delivered a very clear and unfortunate message on Friday:
“Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism. While these forms of anti-government activities do not...
floridabq-deactivated20120201 asked: Reasons why Thomas Jefferson was not a libertarian: He doubled the size of the country, a power not granted in the Constitution. He hoped to make Florida, Cuba, and Canada part of the United States as well. He sent a fleet to confront and destroy the Islamic fundamentalist pirates in the Barbary wars. He believed in an "Empire of Liberty". He saw America's duty to spread freedom and...

Permanent Keynesian Unemployment →
Can we all admit Keynes-ism doesn’t work? It has led us to where we are now, increased debt and high unemployment (higher than the government will recognize).
I think it is time to try something new. Lets give the free market and Austrian economics a try for a chance.
Throughout the West, unemployment remains stubbornly high. Unemployment in these European...

Obama admits drones in Somalia creates terrorists →
He must have mis-spoke. Admitting our intervention causes blow back.
From yesterday’s Washington Post, in an article entitled “Under Obama, an emerging global apparatus for drone killing“:
But the administration has allowed only a handful of strikes, out of concern that a broader campaign could turn al-Shabab from a regional menace into an adversary determined to carry out attacks on U.S....

Michele Bachmann chair defects to Ron Paul →
They are all coming out of the wood work to support the Republican front runner.
In a shock announcement Wednesday night, Iowa state senator and onetime Michele Bachmann campaign leader Kent Sorenson declared that he is now supporting Ron Paul for president.
Sorenson made the announcement at a Paul rally with veterans here in Des Moines, telling the crowd: “I believe we’re at a...

The case for austerity →
by Judge Andrew Napolitano
Do you remember this summer’s debt debate debacle? It ended with the supercommittee, which ended in failure, which resulted in no cuts in government spending. Do you remember the summer before that, when tea party protesters came out in full force against Obamacare and members of Congress who were contemplating supporting it? Do you remember when the tea...

Ann Coulter stumping for Mitt Romney again →
Because she believes Romney will repeal Obamacare.
Hey Ann, you do realize that he gave Massachusetts Obamacare only here it is called Romneycare?
You are also wrong. The biggest problem facing this country isn’t just repealing Obamacare or dealing with immigration. The biggest problem is controlling the ever growing national debt and fixing the economy.
The only candidate who fix...

Not really all that excited by him.

Ron Paul maintaining lead in Iowa →
This is the first step of Ron Paul winning the Republican nomination.
The last week and a half has brought little change in the standings for the Iowa Republican caucus: Ron Paul continues to lead Mitt Romney by a modest margin, 24-20. Newt Gingrich is in 3rd at 13% followed by Michele Bachmann at 11%, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum at 10%, Jon Huntsman at 4%, and Buddy Roemer at 2%.

It would be nice to see if Ron and Rand are both questioned on the decision. Personally, I think thats one of the biggest things right now. What would lead him to do that after seeing his father fight against such a thing his entire life? I really hoped that Rand would carry on the legacy but this gives me...

Stop and consider how the United States has benefited from 9/11. Think of all the subsequent drastic actions that have occurred since the attack. For the relatively small price of only 3,000 souls, the US has aggressively dealt with issues effecting all totalitarian empires: controlling not only the world, but clamping...

That includes Rand Paul. He’s just not his father. Deal with it people.
God damn it.
So sad. Voting for sanctions is basically an act of war.

Not in the slightest
1. Foreign policy
In the early days of our nation, we were protected by not one, not two, not three but four oceans: the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic. Even if we made mistakes, and engaged in “entangling alliances,” and searched for “monsters to...

NDAA repeals more rights →
by Ron Paul
Little by little, in the name of fighting terrorism, our Bill of Rights is being repealed. The 4th Amendment has been rendered toothless by the PATRIOT Act. No more can we truly feel secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects when now there is an exception that fits nearly any excuse for our government to search and seize our property. Of course, the vast majority of...

All the talk show hosts I listen to are on vacation.
Mike Church is off until after the new years. XM gives us some crappy neo-con craphead filling in for him. Can’t listen to that crap.
Peter Schiff is off until the new years with no fill in host.
I’ve listened to some sports talk but I’m not really in the mood for that.
Any suggestions?

How will libertarianism and freedom do in 2012? →
John Stossel is a little pessimistic.
As 2011 draws to a close, I wonder: Is freedom winning? Did America become freer this year? Less free? How about the rest of the world?
I’m a pessimist. I fear Thomas Jefferson was right when he said, “The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” That’s what’s happened. Bush and...
