This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.

The Federal Government Cannot Maintain A Budget Surplus Any More Than An Alcoholic Can Leave A Fresh Bottle Of Whiskey Untouched In The Cupboard.

No Single Person, Including The President Of The United States, Should Ever Be Given The Power To Make A Medical Decision For Potentially Millions Of Americans. Freedom Over One's Physical Person Is The Most Basic Freedom Of All, And People In A Free Society Should Be Sovereign Over Their Own Bodies. When We Give Government The Power To Make Medical Decisions For Us, We In Essence Accept That The State Owns Our Bodies.

Bush Humble Foreign Policy Was Hijacked Into Nation-building.

Demanding Domestic Security In Times Of War Invites Carelessness In Preserving Civil Liberties And The Right Of Privacy. Frequently The People Are Only Too Anxious For Their Freedoms To Be Sacrificed On The Altar Of Authoritarianism Thought To Be Necessary To Remain Safe And Secure.

If You Ever Can Bring About Revolutionary Changes, Two Things Would Be Required: Young People Would Have To Be Involved And You Would Need Music.

When The Federal Government Spends More Each Year Than It Collects In Tax Revenues, It Has Three Choices: It Can Raise Taxes, Print Money, Or Borrow Money. While These Actions May Benefit Politicians, All Three Options Are Bad For Average Americans.

Why Is It Is Claimed That If People Won't Or Can't Take Care Of Their Own Needs, That People In Government Can Do It For Them?

Terror Is A Tactic. We Can Not Wage "war" Against A Tactic.

If We Are Not Even Free Anymore To Decide Something As Basic As What We Wish To Eat Or Drink, How Much Freedom Do We Really Have Left?

The Government Does Not Need To Know More About What We Are Doing. We Need To Know More About What The Government Is Doing. We Should Be Thankful For Individuals Like Edward Snowden And Glenn Greenwald Who See Injustice Being Carried Out By Their Own Government And Speak Out, Despite The Risk. They Have Done A Great Service To The American People By Exposing The Truth About What Our Government Is Doing In Secret.

I Never Would Force The Justice Department To Go To California And Arrest People Getting Medical Marijuana, When That's The Law There.

Liberty Has Meaning Only If We Still Believe In It When Terrible Things Happen And A False Government Security Blanket Beckons.

We Need To Make Sure That People Can Save All The Money They Spend On Medical Care By Getting It Back From Their Taxes, By Reducing Their Tax Burden.

You Wanna Get Rid Of Drug Crime In This Country? Fine, Let's Just Get Rid Of All The Drug Laws.

The World's Smallest Political Quiz Is Responsible For Many Americans' First Contact With Libertarian Ideas. While Traveling Around The Country, I Have Often Heard People Say, 'i Never Knew I Was A Libertarian Until I Took The Quiz!'

The Freer The Market Is And The More Respect You Have For Private Property, The Better The Environment Is Protected.

Young People Are Not Raw Material To Be Employed By The Political Class On Behalf Of Whatever Fashionable Political, Military, Or Social Cause Catches Its Fancy. In A Free Society, Their Lives Are Not The Playthings Of Government.

When The Goal Of Political Action Is No Longer The Defense Of Liberty, No Word Other Than Demagoguery Can Describe The Despicable Nature Of Politics.

Do They Think If We Destroy Our Freedoms For The Terrorists They Will No Longer Have A Reason To Attack Us?

We Should Respect Each Other As Rational Beings By Trying To Achieve Our Goals Through Reason And Persuasion Rather Than Threats And Coercion.

In The American Political Lexicon, 'change' Always Means More Of The Same: More Government, More Looting Of Americans, More Inflation, More Police-state Measures, More Unnecessary War, And More Centralization Of Power.

Setting A Good Example Is A Far Better Way To Spread Ideals Than Through Force Of Arms.

The Only Thing We Learn From History, I Am Afraid, Is That We Do Not Learn From History.

Our Country's Founders Cherished Liberty, Not Democracy.

Aggression And Forced Redistribution Of Wealth Has Nothing To Do With The Teachings Of The World's Great Religions.

The Most Basic Principle To Being A Free American Is The Notion That We As Individuals Are Responsible For Our Own Lives And Decisions. We Do Not Have The Right To Rob Our Neighbors To Make Up For Our Mistakes, Neither Does Our Neighbor Have Any Right To Tell Us How To Live, So Long As We Aren’t Infringing On Their Rights. Freedom To Make Bad Decisions Is Inherent In The Freedom To Make Good Ones. If We Are Only Free To Make Good Decisions, We Are Not Really Free.

Think Of What Happened After 9/11, The Minute Before There Was Any Assessment, There Was Glee In The Administration Because Now We Can Invade Iraq, And So The War Drums Beat.

I Will Veto Any Spending Bill That Contains Funding For Planned Parenthood, Facilities That Perform Abortion And All Government Family Planning Schemes.

You Have To Remember, Rights Don't Come In Groups We Shouldn't Have 'gay Rights'; Rights Come As Individuals, And We Wouldn't Have This Major Debate Going On. It Would Be Behavior That Would Count, Not What Person Belongs To What Group.

Our Constitution, Which Was Intended To Limit Government Power And Abuse, Has Failed.

If Somebody's In Prison For Non-violence, Drug Usage, And Never Committed A Hard Crime, They Should Be Pardoned And Let Out.

If I Were In Congress In 1996, I Would Have Voted For The Defense Of Marriage Act, Which Used Congress's Constitutional Authority To Define What Official State Documents Other States Have To Recognize Under The Full Faith And Credit Clause, To Ensure That No State Would Be Forced To Recognize A 'same Sex' Marriage License Issued In Another State.

Capitalism Should Not Be Condemned, Since We Haven't Had Capitalism.

White Castle Has A Unique Position In The Midwest. It Is A Cult Brand That Has Developed A Strong, Loyal Following.

I Want To Just Obey The Constitution.the Constitution Says Only Gold And Silver Can Be Legal Tender.

We Don't Need Any Troops Abroad-they Don't Help Our Defense.

Given The Inefficiencies Of What Dc Laughingly Calls The 'criminal Justice System,' I Think We Can Safely Assume That 95 Percent Of The Black Males In That City Are Semi-criminal Or Entirely Criminal.

We Don't Think A Child Of 13 Should Be Held Responsible As A Man Of 23. That's True For Most People, But Black Males Age 13 Who Have Been Raised On The Streets And Who Have Joined Criminal Gangs Are As Big, Strong, Tough, Scary And Culpable As Any Adult And Should Be Treated As Such.

What Is Not Conservative About Saying, 'don't Go To War Unless We Go To War Properly With A Full Declaration Of War And No Other Way?'

Big Government Flourishes Under Republicans.

The Number One Responsibility For Each Of Us Is To Change Ourselves With Hope That Others Will Follow.

Government Spending Is Always A “tax” Burden On The American People And Is Never Equally Or Fairly Distributed. The Poor And Low-middle Income Workers Always Suffer The Most From The Deceitful Tax Of Inflation And Borrowing.

Quantitative Easing Is Just The Latest Chapter In The Federal Reserve’s Hundred-year History Of Failure. (...) The American People Have Suffered Long Enough Under A Monetary Policy Controlled By An Unaccountable, Secretive Central Bank. It Is Time To Finally Audit - And Then End - The Fed.

The Ultimate Solution Is Not In The Hands Of The Government. The Solution Falls On Each And Every Individual, With Guidance From Family, Friends And Community. The #1 Responsibility For Each Of Us Is To Change Ourselves With Hope That Others Will Follow. This Is Of Greater Importance Than Working On Changing The Government; That Is Secondary To Promoting A Virtuous Society. If We Can Achieve This, Then The Government Will Change.

We'd Love It If We Could All Just Come Home And Not Worry About The Rest Of The World. But The Problem Is, They Attacked Us On 9/11. We Were Here; They Attacked Us.

I Am Absolutely Convinced, You Never Have To Give Up Any Of Your Freedoms In Order To Be Secure.

Income Taxes Are Responsible For The Transformation Of The Federal Government From One Of Limited Powers Into A Vast Leviathan Whose Tentacles Reach Into Almost Every Aspect Of American Life.

Our Forefathers Would Think It's Time For A Revolution. This Is Why They Revolted In The First Place... They Revolted Against Much More Mild Oppression.

The Federal Reserve And Congress Have Systematically Taught The American People To Trust The Government And That Caution In Spending Is Harmful To The Economy.

I'm Always Looking For An Opportunity To Bring Progressive Democrats Together With Some Conservative Libertarian Types, Because There Are Places Where We Can Agree.

No Matter What Politicians Promise, Social Security Reform Will Not Change The Fact That Your Money Is Taken From Your Paycheck And Sent To Washington, Where It Will Be Spent.

My Message Is Simple - Freedom Works A Lot Better Than The Authoritarian Style Of Government.

Freedom Is Not Defined By Safety. Freedom Is Defined By The Ability Of Citizens To Live Without Government Interference. Government Cannot Create A World Without Risks, Nor Would We Really Wish To Live In Such A Fictional Place. Only A Totalitarian Society Would Even Claim Absolute Safety As A Worthy Ideal, Because It Would Require Total State Control Over Its Citizens’ Lives. Liberty Has Meaning Only If We Still Believe In It When Terrible Things Happen And A False Government Security Blanket Beckons.

The Sad Thing Is, Our Foreign Policy Will Change Eventually, As Rome's Did, When All Budgetary And Monetary Tricks To Fund It Are Exhausted.

We Get Our Rights From Our Creator As Individuals. So Every Individual Should Be Treated The Same Way.

I Would Like To Restore Your Right To Drink Raw Milk Anytime You Like.

If We Stuck To The Constitution As Written, We Would Have: No Federal Meddling In Our Schools; No Federal Reserve; No U.s. Membership In The Un; No Gun Control; And No Foreign Aid. We Would Have No Welfare For Big Corporations, Or The "poor"; No American Troops In 100 Foreign Countries; No Nafta, Gat, Or "fast-track"; No Arrogant Federal Judges Usurping States Rights; No Attacks On Private Property; No Income Tax. We Could Get Rid Of Most Of The Agencies, And Most Of The Budget. The Government Would Be Small, Frugal, And Limited.

I Think It's A Theory... The Theory Of Evolution And I Don't Accept It As A Theory.

Theory Of Evolution

Nothing Good Can Come From The Federal Reserve. It Is The Biggest Taxer Of Them All. Diluting The Value Of The Dollar By Increasing Its Supply Is A Vicious, Sinister Tax On The Poor And Middle Class.

I Would Say That I'm Pretty Mainstream.

The Cap And Trade Bill Hr 2454 Was Voted On Last Friday. Proponents Claim This Bill Will Help The Environment, But What It Really Does Is Put Another Nail In The Economy’s Coffin.

Only In A Free Society Do Individuals Have The Best Chance To Seek Virtue, Strive For Excellence, Improve Their Economic Well-being, And Achieve Personal Happiness. The Worthy Goals Of Civilization Can Only Be Achieved By Freedom-loving Individuals. When Government Uses Force, Liberty Is Sacrificed And The Goals Are Lost. It Is Freedom That Is The Source Of All Creative Energy.

Ignorance, As Well As Disapproval For The Natural Restraints Placed On Market Excesses That Capitalism And Sound Markets Impose, Cause Our Present Leaders To Reject Capitalism And Blame It For All The Problems We Face. If This Fallacy Is Not Corrected And Capitalism Is Even Further Undermined, The Prosperity That The Free Market Generates Will Be Destroyed.

The Notion Of A Rigid Separation Between Church And State Has No Basis In Either The Text Of The Constitution Or The Writings Of Our Founding Fathers. On The Contrary, Our Founders’ Political Views Were Strongly Informed By Their Religious Beliefs.

As Long As We Live Beyond Our Means, We Are Destined To Live Beneath Our Means.

Prices Are Going Up. Unemployment Is Continue To Go Up. And We Have Not Had The Necessary Correction For The Financial Bubble Created By Our Federal Reserve System.

Federal Reserve

I'm Convinced That You Never Have To Give Up Liberties To Be Safe. I Think You're Less Safe When You Give Up Your Liberties.

I Have Never Met Anyone Who Did Not Support Our Troops. Sometimes, However, We Hear Accusations That Someone Or Some Group Does Not Support The Men And Women Serving In Our Armed Forces. But This Is Pure Demagoguery, And It Is Intellectually Dishonest.

The American People Are Sick And Tired Of Washington And The People Who Have Been In Charge Have Been Passing All These Bills And I've Been Voting No All Of The Time And Vote No On These Appropriation Bills.

Why Does The U.s. Care Which Flag Will Be Hoisted On A Small Piece Of Land Thousands Of Miles Away?

The Reality Is That Our Military Presence On Foreign Soil Is As Offensive To The People That Live There As Armed Chinese Troops Would Be If They Were Stationed In Texas. We Would Not Stand For It Here, But We Have Had A Globe-straddling Empire And A Very Intrusive Foreign Policy For Decades That Incites A Lot Of Hatred And Resentment Toward Us.

Without Precise Meanings Behind Words, Politicians And Elites Can Obscure Reality And Condition People To Reflexively Associate Certain Words With Positive Or Negative Perceptions. In Other Words, Unpleasant Facts Can Be Hidden Behind Purposely Meaningless Language.

Just Think Of What Woodrow Wilson Stood For: He Stood For World Government. He Wanted An Early United Nations, League Of Nations. But It Was The Conservatives, Republicans, That Stood Up Against Him.

Amend Constitution To Remove Aliens' Birthright Citizenship.

There Is No Reason, In A Free Society, That Farmers Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Raise Hemp. Hemp Is A Good Product.

I Like Mitt Romney As A Person. I Think He's A Dignified Person. But I Have No Common Ground On Economics. He Doesn't Worry About The Federal Reserve. He Doesn't Worry About Foreign Policy. He Doesn't Talk About Civil Liberties, So I Would Have A Hard Time To Expect Him To Ever Invite Me To Campaign With Him.

In The Free Society Envisioned By The Founders, Schools Are Held Accountable To Parents, Not Federal Bureaucrats.

I'm An Imperfect Messenger, But The Message Is Perfect.

I Will Always Vote What I Have Promised, And Always Vote The Constitution, As Well As I Will Not Vote For One Single Penny That Isn't Paid For, Because Debt Is The Monster, Debt Is What's Going To Eat Us Up And That Is Why Our Economy Is On The Brink.

...[the Federal] Government [has No Authority] To Deliver A Service,...and There's No Evidence To Show That Government Has Ever Been Efficient [at] Delivering...service.

I Believe Only A Free Society Can Ever Be Truly Secure. The Goal Should Be To Make Terrorists Feel Threatened, Not The American People.

We're Bankrupting Our Country And We Have An Empire That We're Trying To Defend Which Costs Us $1 Trillion A Year. And The Standard Of Living Is Going Down Today. It's Going Down And The Middle Class Is Hurting Because Of The Monetary Policy. When You Destroy A Currency, The Middle Class Gets Wiped Out.

Racism Is Simply An Ugly Form Of Collectivism, The Mindset That Views Humans Strictly As Members Of Groups Rather Than Individuals.

There Was A Time When A Willingness To Criticize One's Own Government When It Was Wrong Was The Very Definition Of Patriotism.

Another Term For Preventive War Is Aggressive War - Starting Wars Because Someday Somebody Might Do Something To Us. That Is Not Part Of The American Tradition.

The Federal Government Overrules State Laws Where State Laws Permit Medicinal Marijuana For People Dying Of Cancer. The Federal Government Goes In And Arrests These People, Put Them In Prison With Mandatory, Sometimes Life Sentences. This War On Drugs Is Totally Out Of Control. If You Want To Regulate Cigarettes And Alcohol And Drugs, It Should Be At The State Level.

We Need A Smaller And Elite Military, As [donald]rumsfeld Said - And Also A Smaller And Elite Foreign Policy.

What We Need Is A Strong Defense, But Right Now There Is Zero Chance Of An Invasion By Another Country And Right Now We Have More Firepower Than All Other Countries Put Together.

Once Again, President Clinton Is Using American Troops To Deflect Attention From His Record Of Lies, Distortions, Obstructions Of Justice And Abuse Of Power.

While President Obama Was Starting And Expanding Unconstitutiona L Wars Overseas, Bradley Manning, Whose Actions Have Caused Exactly Zero Deaths, Was Shining Light On The Truth Behind These Wars.

During The Last Campaign I Knew What Was Happening. You Know, They Mocked Me For My Foreign Policy And They Laughed At My Monetary Policy. No More. No More.

Who's Married And Who Isn't Married. I Have My Standards But I Shouldn't Have To Impose My Standards On Others. Other People Have Their Standards And They Have No Right To Impose Their Marriage Standards On Me.

I Believe That When We Overdo Our Military Aggressiveness, What It Does It Actually Weakens Our National Defense. I Mean, We Stood Up To The Soviets. They Had 40,000 Nuclear Weapons. Now We're Fretting Day In And Day - Night About Third-world Countries That Have No Army, Navy Or Air Force.

Imagine If The Political Elites In Our Country Were Forced To Endure The Same Conditions At The Airport As Business Travelers, Families, Senior Citizens, And The Rest Of Us. Perhaps This Problem Could Be Quickly Resolved If Every Cabinet Secretary, Every Member Of Congress, And Every Department Head In The Obama Administration Were Forced To Submit To The Same Degrading Screening Process As The People Who Pay Their Salaries.

I'm Not Sure What Al Gore Did For Peace. I Don't Think He Have Been High On My List For The Nobel Peace Prize.

The Federal Reserve System Is Nothing More Than Legalized Counterfeit.

Federal Reserve

Justifying Conscription To Promote The Cause Of Liberty Is One Of The Most Bizarre Notions Ever Conceived By Man! Forced Servitude, With The Risk Of Death And Serious Injury As A Price To Live Free, Makes No Sense.

Too Many Members Of Congress Believe They Can Solve All Economic Problems, Cure All Social Ills, And Bring About Worldwide Peace And Prosperity Simply By Creating New Federal Programs.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come Cannot Be Stopped By Any Army Or Any Force.

All Branches Of Our Government Today Are Controlled By Individuals Who Use Their Power To Undermine Liberty And Enhance The Welfare/warfare State-and Frequently Their Own Wealth And Power.

There's Nothing Wrong With Being A Conservative And Coming Up With A Conservative Believe In Foreign Policy Where We Have A Strong National Defense And We Don't Go To War So Carelessly.

The Founders Warned That A Free Society Depends On A Virtuous And Moral People. The Current Crisis Reflects That Their Concerns Were Justified.

Intervention In Syria Is Not An Option. President Obama Has Already Helped Foment This Civil War And Supported The Al-qaeda Jihadists. This Is An Explosive Region, And More Us Intervention Means More People Will Die. We Should Be Choosing Peace - Not A New Conflict. More So Than Anyone Else, My Supporters Know That America Cannot Afford Another Unlawful, Immoral War In The Middle East. Stand With Me And Tell President Obama To Stay Out Of Syria.

As Bank Customers, We Tend To Believe That We Can Have Both Perfect Security For Our Money, Drawing On It Whenever We Want And Never Expecting It Not To Be There, While Still Earning A Regular Rate Of Return. In A True Free Market, However, There Tends To Be A Tradeoff: You Can Enjoy A Money Warehouse Or You Can Hope For A Return On Your Investment. You Can't Usually Have Both. The Fed, However, By Backing Up This Fractional-reserve System With A Promise Of Endless Bailouts And Money Creation, Attempts To Keep The Illusion Going.

When You Have War, Whether It's A War Against Drugs, War Against Terrorism, War Overseas, The Mentality Of The People Change And They're More Willing To Sacrifice Their Liberties In Order To Be Safe And Secure.

Of Course I've Already Taken A Very Modest Position On The Monetary System, I Do Take The Position That We Should Just End The Fed.

If You Care About Your Personal Liberty, You'll Be Cautious When You Feel Comfortable, Blame All The Illegal Immigrants For Everything. What You Need To Do Is Attack Their Benefits: No Free Education, No Free Subsidies, No Citizenship, No Birth-right Citizenship.

General Welfare Is A General Condition - Maybe Sound Currency Is General Welfare, Maybe Markets, Maybe Judicial System, Maybe A National Defense, But This Is Specific Welfare. This Justifies The Whole Welfare State - The Military Industrial Complex, The Welfare To Foreigners, The Welfare State That Imprisons Our People And Impoverishes Our People And Gives Us Our Recession.

No One Talks About The Real Ethics Disaster In Washington. It's That Many Members Of Congress Will Listen To Any Argument Against A Bill Except For Two: That It's Not Moral Or That It's Not Constitutional.

The Most Basic Principle To Being A Free American Is The Notion That We As Individuals Are Responsible For Our Own Lives And Decisions

So The Time Line Of When We Consider A Fetus 'human' Is Arbitrary After Conception.

What You Are Inferring Is, If We Were To Legalise Heroin Tomorrow Everybody Would Use Heroin. How Many People Here Would Start Using Heroin? I Bet Nobody Would. Oh Yeah, I Need The Government To Take Care Of Me. I Don't Want To Use Heroin, So I Need These Laws.

You Know, Freedom Is A Very Popular Idea, And Young People Love It, And They're Open To Ideas. And They Like Principled Answers To Our Problems.

I Miss The Closet. Homosexuals, Not To Speak Of The Rest Of Society, Were Far Better Off When Social Pressure Forced Them To Hide Their Activities.

Social Pressure

After Years Spent In Washington, I Have Become More Aware Than Ever Of The Government's Ineptness And The Likelihood Of Its Making Mistakes. I No Longer Trust The U.s. Government To Invoke And Carry Out A Death Sentence Under Any Conditions.

Let It Not Be Said That No One Cared, That No One Objected Once It’s Realized That Our Liberties And Wealth Are In Jeopardy.

Your Money Has Never Been Safe In The Government's Hands, And It Never Will Be. Governments Spend Money; It's Just Their Nature.

When Things Go Badly, Individuals Look For Scapegoats. I Just Do Not Believe That Barbed-wire Fences Or Guns On Our Border Will Solve Any Of Our Problems.

Israeli Government & The Neocons Want Us To Bomb Iran.

It's A Mistake To Think That Poor People Get The Benefit From The Welfare System. It's A Total Fraud. Most Welfare Go To The Rich Of This Country: The Military-industrial Complex, The Bankers, The Foreign Dictators, It's Totally Out Of Control... This Idea That The Government Has Services Or Goods That They Can Pass On Is A Complete Farce. Governments Have Nothing. They Can't Create Anything, They Never Have. All They Can Do Is Steal From One Group And Give It To Another At The Destruction Of The Principles Of Freedom, And We Ought To Challenge That Concept.

But Whether The Resistance Against Government Tyrants Is Non-violent Or Physically Violent, The Effort To Overthrow State Oppression Qualifies As True Patriotism.

Mr. Speaker, I Once Again Find Myself Compelled To Vote Against The Annual Budget Resolution For A Very Simple Reason: It Makes Government Bigger.

It Is A Dangerous Notion That We Need A Government To Protect Us From Ourselves.

Sexually-transmitted Diseases Is Caused By Sexual Activity And Promiscuity It Spreads Diseases. That's Been Known, You Know, About 400 Or 500 Years, That Somehow These Diseases Are Spread. If Fault Comes With People Because Of Their Personal Behavior But It Isn't To Be Placed On A Burden On Other People, Innocent People, Why Should They Have To Pay For The Consequences?

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Unfortunately, The Greater The Humanitarian Outreach, The Greater The Violence Required To Achieve It.

You Don't Have Freedom Because You Are A Hyphenated American; You Have Freedom Because You Are An Individual, And That Should Be Protected.

1913 Wasn't A Very Good Year. 1913 Gave Us The Income Tax, The 16th Amendment And The Irs.

I Have Some Help On Tweeting.

A Citizen Walking Through The Airport Today Is Bombarded With 1984-style Propaganda Messages That Are Designed To Make Us Fear Some Amorphous Threat And Also Be Suspicious Of Others. The Government Designs These Messages To Make Us Feel Dependent And Heavily Lorded Over In Every Aspect Of Our Lives. These Messages Are Becoming Ever More Pervasive, Hitting Us Even In Grocery Stores When We Are Shopping.

The Only Thing We Should Prohibit Is Violence.

Ideas Are Very Important To The Shaping Of Society. In Fact, They Are More Powerful Than Bombings Or Armies Or Guns. And This Is Because Ideas Are Capable Of Spreading Without Limit. They Are Behind All The Choices We Make. They Can Transform The World In A Way That Governments And Armies Cannot. Fighting For Liberty With Ideas Makes More Sense To Me Than Fighting With Guns Or Politics Or Political Power. With Ideas, We Can Make Real Change That Lasts.

My Understanding Is That Espionage Means Giving Secret Or Classified Information To The Enemy. Since Snowden Shared Information With The American People, His Indictment For Espionage Could Reveal (or Confirm) That The Us Government Views You And Me As The Enemy.

The Freedom Message Brings Us Together, It Doesn't Divide Us.

Privacy Is Freedom. Leave Us Alone!

What Can You Do? More And More Americans Are Carrying A Gun In The Car. An Ex-cop I Know Advises That If You Have To Use A Gun On A Youth, You Should Leave The Scene Immediately, Disposing Of The Wiped Off Gun As Soon As Possible. Such A Gun Cannot, Of Course, Be Registered To You, But One Bought Privately (through The Classifieds, For Example.)

When One Person Can Initiate War, By Its Definition, A Republic No Longer Exists.

A System Of Capitalism Presumes Sound Money, Not Fiat Money Manipulated By A Central Bank. Capitalism Cherishes Voluntary Contracts And Interest Rates That Are Determined By Savings, Not Credit Creation By A Central Bank.

The Ultimate Goal Is Not Simply A Superhighway, But An Integrated North American Union--complete With A Currency, A Cross-national Bureaucracy, And Virtually Borderless Travel Within The Union. Like The European Union, A North American Union Would Represent Another Step Toward The Abolition Of National Sovereignty Altogether.

The Original American Patriots Were Those Individuals Brave Enough To Resist With Force The Oppressive Power Of King George... Patriotism Is More Closely Linked To Dissent Than It Is To Conformity And A Blind Desire For Safety And Security.

I'd Like To Think Of Myself As The Flavor Of The Decade.

America's Heart And Soul Is More Embedded In Our Love Of Liberty, Self-reliance, And Tolerance Than By Our Foreign Policy, Driven By Powerful Special Interests With Little Regard For The Constitution.

You Don't Have A Right To A House, You Don't Have A Right To A Job, You Don't Have A Right To Medical Care.

Well, I Don't Think We Should Go To The Moon. I Think We Maybe Should Send Some Politicians Up There.

I Do Not Have Much Confidence In The Political System And Never Did. My Goal Has Always Been To Change People's Minds Because As Long As People Demand More Government, They Will Get It.

The Catch-all Phrase "the War On Terrorism", In All Honesty, Has No More Meaning Than If One Wants To Wage A War Against "criminal Gangsterism". Terrorism Is A Tactic. You Can't Have A War Against A Tactic. It's Deliberately Vague And Non-definable In Order To Justify And Permit Perpetual War Anywhere And Under Any Circumstance.

Once Created, Federal Programs Are Nearly Impossible To Eliminate.

Only About 5 Percent Of Blacks Have Sensible Political Opinions.

Political Opinions

Politicians Throughout History Have Tried To Solve Every Problem Conceivable To Man, Always Failing To Recognize That Many Of The Problems We Face Result From Previous So-called Political Solutions. Government Cannot Be The Answer To Every Human Ill. Continuing To View More Government As The Solution To Problems Will Only Make Matters Worse.

Close Dept. Of Education, But Don't Dismantle Public Schools.

Libertarians Are Incapable Of Being A Racist, Because Racism Is A Collectivist Idea.

I'm Not Against The Fbi Investigation In Doing A Proper Role, But I'm Against The Fbi Spying On People Like Martin Luther King. I'm Against The Cia Fighting Secret Wars And Overthrowing Government.

Outsourcing Is A Reflection Of A Bad Economic Environment Domestically. If You Fix That, You Fix Outsourcing. Our Primary Export Is Paper Money, And That Should Change If You Change The Monetary Policy.

In A Free Society We're Supposed To Know The Truth. In A Society Where Truth Becomes Treason, Then We're In Big Trouble. And Now, People Who Are Revealing The Truth Are Getting Into Trouble For It.

First Reason Is, It's Not Authorized In The Constitution, It's An Illegal Institution. The Second Reason, It's An Immoral Institution, Because We Have Delivered To A Secretive Body The Privilege Of Creating Money Out Of Thin Air; If You Or I Did It, We'd Be Called Counterfeiters, So Why Have We Legalized Counterfeiting? But The Economic Reasons Are Overwhelming: The Federal Reserve Is The Creature That Destroys Value.

Contrary To The Claims Of The Supporters Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 And The Sponsors Of H.res. 676, The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 Did Not Improve Race Relations Or Enhance Freedom. Instead, The Forced Integration Dictated By The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 Increased Racial Tensions While Diminishing Individual Liberty.

We Need To Get The Government Out Of The Way. Inflation Hits The Middle Class And The Poor The Most. Those Are The People Who Are Losing It. We Don't Have Enough Competition. There's A Doctor Monopoly Out There. We Need Alternative Health Care Freely Available To The People. They Ought To Be Able To Make Their Own Choices And Not Controlled By The Fda Preventing Them To Use Some Of The Medications.

Right Now, Nobody Legalized Paper Money. Where Did That Come From.

A Failing State Cannot Stop A Revolution Whose Time Has Come.

Believe Me, The Intellectual Revolution Is Going On, And That Has To Come First Before You See The Political Changes. That's Where I'm Very Optimistic.

It's Not Like I'm Just Trying To Win And Get Elected. I'm Trying To Change The Course Of History.

Trying To Change

When People Become Frightened, They Look For Things Of Real Value. They Will Go To Monetary Metals, Gold And Silver, And They Will Buy Other Things, Such As Buying Property. But No Matter What We Have, Whether We Have Our Gold Coins Or We Have Our Property, If We Have An Authoritarian Government, That Is Our Greatest Threat. So, I Would Like To Think That There Is No Perfect Protection, Other Than Shrinking The Size And Scope And Power Of Government, So That We Can Be Left Alone And Take Care Of Ourselves.

To Condemn Free-market Capitalism Because Of Anything Going On Today Makes No Sense. There Is No Evidence That Capitalism Exists Today. We Are Deeply Involved In An Interventionist-planned Economy That Allows Major Benefits To Accrue To The Politically Connected Of Both Political Parties. One May Condemn The Fraud And The Current System, But It Must Be Called By Its Proper Names Keynesian Inflationism, Interventionism, And Corporatism.

You Don't Quit Because You Happen To Be Behind. You Want To See How You Do. And Who Knows? Maybe Somebody Will Stumble.

Abortion On Demand Is The Ultimate State Tyranny; The State Simply Declares That Certain Classes Of Human Beings Are Not Persons, And Therefore Not Entitled To The Protection Of The Law. The State Protects The 'right' Of Some People To Kill Others, Just As The Courts Protected The 'property Rights' Of Slave Masters In Their Slaves. Moreover, By This Method The State Achieves A Goal Common To All Totalitarian Regimes: It Sets Us Against Each Other, So That Our Energies Are Spent In The Struggle Between State-created Classes, Rather Than In Freeing All Individuals From The State.

It’s Amazing That People Don’t Understand That The More The Market Is Involved And The Smaller The Government, The Lower The Price, The Better The Distribution, And The Higher The Quality.

They've Been Taught By Too Many That This War Was Necessary When It Isn't.

I Want To Be President Mainly For What I Don't Want To Do: I Don't Want To Run Your Life, I Don't Want To Run The Economy, And I Don't Want To Police The World.

We Have A Lot Of Goodness In This Country. And We Should Promote It, But Never Through The Barrel Of A Gun. We Should Do It By Setting Good Standards, Motivating People And Have Them Want To Emulate Us. But You Can't Enforce Our Goodness, Like The Neocons Preach, With An Armed Force. It Doesn't Work.

Could America Exist Without An Income Tax? The Idea Seems Radical, Yet In Truth America Did Just Fine Without A Federal Income Tax For The First 126 Years Of Her History.

During World War Ii, Joseph Stalin Was Once Asked By An American Writer, According To Professor Dean Russell, How He Could Justify Conscripting All The Property Of All The People For Use By The Government To Fight The War. Stalin Answered By Asking Why They Considered It More Immoral And Illogical To Conscript Lifeless Property Than To Conscript Life Itself, As Was Being Done In The United States And All Other Capitalistic Countries. His American Challenger Had No Answer, Because There Was No Answer.

We Must Educate Ourselves And Others About Our Precious Civil Liberties To Ensure That We Never Accept Demands That We Give Up Our Constitution So That The Government Can Pretend To Protect Us.

If You Drink Too Much, You Go Out And You Harm To Somebody, You Have To Suffer The Consequences. Same Way With Health Matters. You Don't Have The Right To Demand That Someone Else Take Care Of You Because Of Your Habits.

Everyone Who Believes In Freedom Must Work Diligently For Sound Money, Fully Redeemable. Nothing Else Is Compatible With The Humanitarian Goals Of Peace And Prosperity.

Under The Constitution, There Was Never Meant To Be A Federal Police Force. Even An Fbi Limited Only To Investigations Was Not Accepted Until This Century. Yet Today, Fueled By The Federal Government's Misdirected War On Drugs, Radical Environmentalism, And The Aggressive Behavior Of The Nanny State, We Have Witnessed The Massive Buildup Of A Virtual Army Of Armed Regulators Prowling The States Where They Have No Legal Authority. The Sacrifice Of Individual Responsibility And The Concept Of Local Government By The Majority Of American Citizens Has Permitted The Army Of Bureaucrats To Thrive.
