The Concept Of Equal Pay For Equal Work Is Not Only An Impossible Task, It Can Only Be Accomplished With The Total Rejection Of The Idea Of The Voluntary Contract... The Idea That A Businessman Must Hire Anyone And Is Prevented From Firing Anyone For Any Reason He Chooses, And In The Name Of Rights, Is A Clear Indication That The Basic Concept Of A Free Society Has Been Lost.

I Grew Up In Pittsburgh, Where You Couldn't Even See The Noon Sun In The Sky, And That Whole City Was Cleaned Up Without The Federal Government Needing To Be Involved. I Think We Would Have Been Much Better Served From The Start If People Would Have Better Understood The Principles Of Private Property.

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.

Stop Policing The World And We Can Get Rid Of Income Tax.

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

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.

We Need To Surrender Our Attachments To Government In Every Aspect Of Life. We Need To Give Up Our Dependencies On The State, Materially And Spiritually. We Should Not Look To The State To Provide Us Financially Or Psychologically. Let Us Give Up Our Longing For Welfare, Our Love Of War, And Our Desire To See The Government Control And Shape Our Fellow Citizens.

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!'

We Are Talking About An Awesome Power. It Is The Power To Weave Illusions That Appear Real As Long As They Last. That Is The Very Core Of The Fed's Power. Of Course Not Everyone Is Instinctively Against This Illusion-weaving Power, And Many Even Welcome It. Tragically, The Innocent Who Understand Little About The Complexity Of The Monetary System Suffer The Most, While Those Who Are In The Know Reap Great Profit Whether The Market Is Going Up Or Down.

Welfarism And Excessive Spending And Deficits And Socialism Divide Us, Because Everybody Has To Go To Washington. Those Who Have The Biggest Clout, Whose Who Are The Best Lobbyists, Those Who Go And They Grab. And Whether It's The Medical Industrial Complex, Or The Banking Industry, Or The Military Industrial Complex, That's Who Ends Up Controlling Our Government...

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

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.

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.

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.

The Boston Bombing Provided The Opportunity For The Government To Turn What Should Have Been A Police Investigation Into A Military-style Occupation Of An American City. This Unprecedented Move Should Frighten Us As Much Or More Than The Attack Itself.

With The Exception Of The Military Industrial Complex, We All Want A More Peaceful World.

No Matter How Many Pro-freedom Politicians We Elect To Office, The Only Way To Guarantee Constitutional Government Is Through An Educated And Activist Public Devoted To The Ideals Of Liberty.

What If The American People Woke Up And Understood That The Official Reasons For Going To War Are Almost Always Based On Lies And Promoted By War Propaganda In Order To Serve Special Interests?

From The Great Depression, To The Stagflation Of The Seventies, To The Current Economic Crisis Caused By The Housing Bubble, Every Economic Downturn Suffered By This Country Over The Past Century Can Be Traced To Federal Reserve Policy. The Fed Has Followed A Consistent Policy Of Flooding The Economy With Easy Money, Leading To A Misallocation Of Resources And An Artificial 'boom' Followed By A Recession Or Depression When The Fed-created Bubble Bursts.

What We Need To Do Is Not Only Live Within Our Means, But Start Paying Down The Deficit, And Offer An Opportunity At Least For The Next Generation To Get Out.

If You Sacrifice Liberty For Security, You Will Lose Both.

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

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.

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.

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.

Cliches About Supporting The Troops Are Designed To Distract From Failed Policies, Policies Promoted By Powerful Special Interests That Benefit From War, Anything To Steer The Discussion Away From The Real Reasons The War In Iraq Will Not End Anytime Soon.

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.

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.

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.

By The Way, When I Say Cut Taxes, I Don't Mean Fiddle With The Code. I Mean Abolish The Income Tax And The Irs, And Replace Them With Nothing.

I Am Absolutely Opposed To A National Id Card. This Is A Total Contradiction Of What A Free Society Is All About. The Purpose Of Government Is To Protect The Secrecy And The Privacy Of All Individuals, Not The Secrecy Of Government. We Don't Need A National Id Card.

Unlike Newt Gingrich And Rick Santorum, I Never Voted To Provide Taxpayer Funding To Planned Parenthood.

We Don't Have The Freedom Of Speech To Talk About The Weather. We Have The First Amendment So We Can Say Some Very Controversial Things.

Freedom Of Speech

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.

There's A A Right To Privacy For All Individuals And All Who Have Legal Rights - And That Includes The Unborn. As An Obstetrician, If I Cause Any Harm To A Fetus, I Will Be Sued. If Someone Kills Or Harms A Fetus They're Liable In A Court Of Law.

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.

Freedom Is Living Without Government Coercion. So When A Politician Talks About Freedom For This Group Or That, Ask Yourself Whether He Is Advocating More Government Action Or Less.

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.

Congress Remains In Total Denial As Our Liberties Are Rapidly Fading Before Our Eyes. The Process Is Propelled By Unwarranted Fear And Ignorance As To The True Meaning Of Liberty. It Is Driven By Economic Myths, Fallacies And Irrational Good Intentions.

September 11th Does Not Justify Ignoring The Constitution By Creating Broad New Federal Police Powers. The Rule Of Law Is Worthless If We Ignore It Whenever Crises Occur.

Failure Of Government Programs Prompts More Determined Effort, While The Loss Of Liberty Is Ignored Or Rationalized Away...whether Is It Is The War On Poverty, Drugs, Terrorism...or The Current Hitler Of The Day, An Appeal To Patriotism Is Used To Convince The People That A Little Sacrifice Of Liberty, Here Or There, Is A Small Price To Pay...the Results, Though, Are Frightening And Will Soon Become Even More So.

There's Capital Controls And There's People Control. So Every Time You Think Of A Fence Keeping All Those Bad People Out, Think About Those Fences Maybe Being Used Against Us, Keeping Us In.

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

Truth Is Treason In The Empire Of Lies.

If It's Not Accepted That Big Government, Fiat Money, Ignoring Liberty, Central Economic Planning, Welfarism, And Warfarism Caused Our Crisis, We Can Expect A Continuous And Dangerous March Toward Corporatism And Even Fascism With Even More Loss Of Our Liberties.

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.

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

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.

Everyone On The Commission Assumes That 9/11 Resulted From A Lack Of Government Action. No One In Washington Has Raised The Question Of Whether Our Shortcomings, Brought To Light By 9/11, Could Have Been A Result Of Too Much Government.

Believe Me, The Next Step Is A Currency Crisis Because There Will Be A Rejection Of The Dollar, The Rejection Of The Dollar Is A Big, Big Event, And Then Your Personal Liberties Are Going To Be Severely Threatened.

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

What's Happening Is There's Transfer Of Wealth From The Poor And The Middle Class To The Wealthy. This Comes About Because Of The Monetary System That We Have. When You Inflate A Currency Or Destroy A Currency, The Middle Class Gets Wiped Out, So The People Who Get To Use The Money First, Which Is Created By The Federal Reserve System, Benefit, So The Money Gravitates To The Banks And To Wall Street. That's Why You Have More Billionaires Than Ever Before.

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.

Speak Up, Speak Often And Don’t Worry About Those That At This Point Cannot Understand As They Can Never Un-hear What We Tell Them.

Scientifically, There's No Debate Over Whether The Fetus Is Alive And Human.

It Is Not Democracy To Send In Billions Of Dollars To Push Regime Change Overseas. It Isn't Democracy To Send In The Ngos To Re-write Laws And The Constitution In Places Like Ukraine. It Is None Of Our Business.

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.

Our Federal Government, Which Was Intended To Operate As A Very Limited Constitutional Republic, Has Instead Become A Virtually Socialist Leviathan That Redistributes Trillions Of Dollars. We Can Hardly Be Surprised When Countless Special Interests Fight For The Money. The Only True Solution To The Campaign Money Problem Is A Return To A Proper Constitutional Government That Does Not Control The Economy. Big Government And Big Campaign Money Go Hand-in-hand.

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

We Need To Take Away The Government's Money Power. The Banking Industry Needs Its Welfare Check Ended. The Dollar's Soundness Depends On Its Being Untied From The Machine That Can Make An Infinite Number Of Copies Of Dollars And Reduce Their Value To Zero.

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.

Government Is The Enemy Of Conservatism And Freedom.

There Is No Such Thing As A Hate Crime.

Throughout The 20th Century, The Republican Party Benefited From A Non-interventionist Foreign Policy. Think Of How Eisenhower Came In To Stop The Korean War. Think Of How Nixon Was Elected To Stop The Mess In Vietnam.

Back A Hundred Years Ago, Especially Around Woodrow Wilson, What Happened In This Country Is We Took Freedom And We Chopped It Into Pieces.

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

I Have Come To One Firm Conviction After These Many Years Of Trying To Figure Out The Plain Truth Of Things. The Best Chance For Achieving Peace And Prosperity, For The Maximum Number Of People Worldwide, Is To Pursue The Cause Of Liberty. If You Find This To Be A Worthwhile Message, Spread It Throughout The Land.

Get Rid Of Irs; Get Rid Of Income Tax; Get Rid Of Spending.

American Voters Should Understand That Congress Will Always Find A Way To Spend Every Last Dollar Sent To Washington. Remember, Politicians Get Votes By Promising Everything To Everyone, Always At The Expense Of Some Other Invisible Taxpayers. ...the Federal Government Cannot Maintain A Budget Surplus Any More Than An Alcoholic Can Leave A Fresh Bottle Of Whiskey Untouched In The Cupboard.

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.

The Federal Reserve System Is Nothing More Than Legalized Counterfeit.

Federal Reserve

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

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.

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.

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.

Bush Humble Foreign Policy Was Hijacked Into Nation-building.

Everyone Assumes America Must Play The Leading Role In Crafting Some Settlement Or Compromise Between The Israelis And The Palestinians. But Jefferson, Madison, And Washington Explicitly Warned Against Involving Ourselves In Foreign Conflicts.

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.

I Would Say That I'm Pretty Mainstream.

You Know, The Greatest Hoax I Think That Has Been Around In Many, Many Years If Not Hundreds Of Years Has Been This Hoax On The Environment And Global Warming. You Notice They Don't Call It Global Warming Anymore. It's Weather Control.

The True Patriot Is Motivated By A Sense Of Responsibility And Out Of Self-interest For Himself, His Family, And The Future Of His Country To Resist Government Abuse Of Power. He Rejects The Notion That Patriotism Means Obedience To The State.

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

War Is Never Economically Beneficial Except For Those In Position To Profit From War Expenditures.

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.

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?

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.

Every Country Ended Slavery Without Civil War; Us Could Have.

This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To.

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

Astonishingly, American Taxpayers Now Will Be Forced To Finance A Multi-billion Dollar Jobs Program In Iraq. Suddenly The War Is About Jobs. We Export Our Manufacturing Jobs To Asia, And Now We Plan To Export Our Welfare Jobs To Iraq, All At The Expense Of The Poor And The Middle Class Here At Home.

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

Expect The Rapidly Expanding Homeschooling Movement To Play A Significant Role In The Revolutionary Reforms Needed To Build A Free Society With Constitutional Protections.

I Think Israel Should Be Treated As An Independent Nation And Not A Puppet Of Our State.

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

American Voters Should Understand That Congress Will Always Find A Way To Spend Every Last Dollar Sent To Washington.

American Voters

If People Won't Spend Any Money, The Government Has This Moral Obligation To Do It.

I Wouldn't Vote Against Getting Rid Of The Jim Crow Laws.

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.

All Rights Are Individual. We Do Not Get Our Rights Because We Belong To A Group. Whether It's Homosexuals, Women, Minorities, It Leads Us Astray. You Don't Get Your Rights Belonging To Your Group. A Group Can't Force Themselves On Anybody Else. So There Should Be No Affirmative Action For Any Group.

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.

Each Of Us Should Choose Which Course Of Action We Must Take; Education, Conventional Political Action, Or Even Peaceful Civil Disobedience To Bring About Necessary Changes, But Let It Not Be Said That We Did Nothing.

Necessary Change

The Last Line Of Defense In Support Of Freedom And The Constitution Consists Of The People Themselves. If The People Want To Be Free, If They Want To Lift Themselves Out From Underneath A State Apparatus That Threatens Their Liberties, Squanders Their Resources On Needless Wars, Destroys The Value Of The Dollar, And Spews Forth Endless Propaganda About How Indispensable It Is And How Lost We Would All Be Without It, There Is No Force That Can Stop Them.

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.

Don't Steal - The Government Hates Competition!

The Founding Fathers Realized That "the Power To Tax Is The Power To Destroy," Which Is Why They Did Not Give The Federal Government The Power To Impose An Income Tax. Needless To Say, The Founders Would Be Horrified To Know That Americans Today Give More Than A Third Of Their Income To The Federal Government.

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

There Should Essentially Be No Limits To The Voluntary Definition Of Marriage.

It Is True That Liberty Is Not Free, Nor Is It Easy. But Tyranny - Even Varying Degrees Of It - Is Much More Difficult, And Much More Expensive. The Time Has Come To Rein In The Federal Government, Put It On A Crash Diet, And Let The People Keep Their Money And Their Liberty.

Times Of Tragedy And War Naturally Bring Out Strong Emotions... Sometimes People Are Only Too Anxious To Sacrifice Their Constitutional Liberties During A Crisis, Hoping To Gain Some Measure Of Security. Yet Nothing Would Please Terrorists More Than If We Willingly Gave Up Our Cherished Liberties Because Of Their Actions.

I Have Never Been One Who Is Comfortable Talking About My Faith In The Political Arena. In Fact, The Pandering That Typically Occurs In The Election Season I Find To Be Distasteful. But For Those Who Have Asked, I Freely Confess That Jesus Christ Is My Personal Savior, And That I Seek His Guidance In All That I Do.

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.

The Fed Has One Power That Is Unique To It Alone: It Enables The Creation Of Money Out Of Thin Air. Sometimes It Makes Vast New Amounts. Sometimes It Makes Lesser Amounts. The Money Takes A Variety Of Forms And Enters The System In Various Ways. And The Fed Does This Through Techniques Such As Open-market Operations, Changing Reserve Ratios, And Manipulating Interest Rates, Operations That All Result In Money Creation.

I Have My Shortcomings. But The Message, It Has No Shortcomings. The Message Of Liberty Is What America Is All About.

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

The Theory Of The Irs Is Rather Repugnant To Me Because The Assumption Is Made That I, The Government, Owns 100% Of Your Income And I Permit You To Keep 5%, 10% Or 20%. You're Vulnerable, You've Sold Out. The Government Can Take 80% If They Want, Which They Did At One Time.

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

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.

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.

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

Deficit Spending

If Iran Invaded Israel, It's Up To Congress To Declare War.

Suicide Terrorism Stops When We Stop Intervening Abroad.

Al-awlaki Was Born Here, He Is An American Citizen. He Was Never Tried Or Charged For Any Crimes. No One Knows If He Killed Anybody. We Know He Might Have Been Associated With The Underwear Bomber. But If The American People Accept This Blindly And Casually That We Now Have An Accepted Practice Of The President Assassinating People Who He Thinks Are Bad Guys, I Think It's Sad.

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.

Opinion Polls Consistently Show That Only About 5 Percent Of Blacks Have Sensible Political Opinions, I.e. Support The Free Market, Individual Liberty, And The End Of Welfare And Affirmative Action.

Political Opinions

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.

Our Country's Founders Cherished Liberty, Not Democracy.

We Have Depended On Government For So Much For So Long That We As People Have Become Less Vigilant Of Our Liberties. As Long As The Government Provides Largesse For The Majority, The Special Interest Lobbyists Will Succeed In Continuing The Redistribution Of Welfare Programs That Occupies Most Of Congress's Legislative Time.

Welfare Programs

The Most Important Element Of A Free Society, Where Individual Rights Are Held In The Highest Esteem, Is The Rejection Of The Initiation Of Violence.

When We Give Government The Power To Make Medical Decisions For Us, We, In Essence, Accept That The State Owns Our Bodies.

Without Question, The True Goal Of Some In Congress Is To Create A System Of Socialized Medicine. It's Politically Expedient To Slap A "patients’ Rights" Label On Legislation That Simply Leads Us Closer To A Complete Government Takeover Of Medicine.

Rights Mean You Have A Right To Your Life. You Have A Right To Your Liberty, And You Should Have A Right To Keep The Fruits Of Your Labor....i, In A Way, Don’t Like To Use Those Terms: Gay Rights, Women’s Rights, Minority Rights, Religious Rights. There’s Only One Type Of Right. It’s The Right To Your Liberty.

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

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.

Having Federal Officials, Whether Judges, Bureaucrats, Or Congressmen, Impose A New Definition Of Marriage On The People Is An Act Of Social Engineering Profoundly Hostile To Liberty.

There Is Only One Kind Of Freedom And That's Individual Liberty. Our Lives Come From Our Creator And Our Liberty Comes From Our Creator. It Has Nothing To Do With Government Granting It.

The Cost In Terms Of Liberties Lost And The Unnecessary Exposure To Terrorism Are Difficult To Determine, But In Time It Will Become Apparent To All Of Us That Foreign Interventionism Is Of No Benefit To American Citizens, But Is Instead A Threat To Our Liberties.

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

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.

In A Free Society, We Are Supposed To Know The Truth. In A Society Where Truth Becomes Treason, We Are In Big Trouble.

History Has Shown That The Masses Have Been Quite Receptive To The Promises Of Authoritarians Which Are Rarely If Ever Fulfilled.

Republican Control Of The Senate = Expanded Neocon Wars In Syria And Iraq. Boots On The Ground Are Coming!

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

The Constant Refrain That Bringing Our Troops Home Would Demonstrate A Lack Of Support For Them Must Be One Of The Most Amazing Distortions Ever Foisted On The American Public.

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

[political] Conventions Lend Themselves To Pandering, As Few Politicians Can Resist The Temptation To Tell A National Television Audience How Well They Will Run The Country If Elected. The Problem Is That Government Is Not Supposed To Run The Country - We're Supposed To Be Free.

Why Is It That Some People, You Know, Think We Should Obey The Constitution Sometimes And Not Other Times.

In Wartime, People Willing To Sacrifice Liberty For Security.

Ideas Are The Only Things That Count, And Politicians Are, For The Most Part, Pretty Much Irrelevant.

If You Have Ever Been Robbed By A Black Teen-aged Male, You Know How Unbelievably Fleet-footed They Can Be.

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.

Libertarianism Is The Enemy Of All Racism.

I Have A Personal Belief That You Never Have To Give Up Liberty For Security. You Can Still Provide Security Without Sacrificing Our Bill Of Rights.

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.

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.

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.
