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

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

The Congress Should Not Be Creating Money Out Of Thin Air, Which Is What Lincoln Did When He Created Greenbacks. But It Is A Congressional Responsibility To Maintain Gold And Silver As A Legal Tender.

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.

Everybody Complains About Pork, But Members Of Congress Keep Spending Because Voters Do Not Throw Them Out Of Office For Doing So. The Rotten System In Congress Will Change Only When The American People Change Their Beliefs About The Proper Role Of Government In Our Society. 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. We Must Reject Unlimited Government And Reassert The Constitutional Rule Of Law If We Hope To Halt The Spending Orgy.

I Don't Know How To Run Your Life. I Don't Know How To Run Your Life. I Don't Have The Authority To Run Your Life. And The Constitution Doesn't Permit Me To Run Your Life.

Today’s Events Are Reminiscent Of The Old Testament Story Of How The Israelites Demanded A King Over God’s Objection. They Believed That A King Would Give Them Peace And Security. The Results Proved Otherwise.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Remember, Politicians Get Votes By Promising Everything To Everyone, Always At The Expense Of Some Other Invisible Taxpayers.

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.

The President And Other Government Officials Denounce School Violence, Yet Still Advocate For Endless Undeclared Wars Abroad And Easy Abortion At Home. U.s. Drone Strikes Kill Thousands, But Nobody In America Holds Vigils Or Devotes Much News Coverage To Those Victims, Many Of Which Are Children, Albeit, Of A Different Color.

The Federal War On Drugs Is A Total Failure... The Federal Government's Going In There And Overriding State Laws... Why Don't We Handle The Drugs Like We Handle Alcohol? ... I Fear The Drug War Because It Undermines Our Civil Liberties. It Magnifies Our Problems On The Borders. We've Spent Over The Last 40 Years A Trillion Dollars On This War And - Believe Me - The Kids Can Still Get The Drugs. It Just Hasn't Worked.

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.

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.

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

If You're Really Serious About Protecting People's Incomes, You've Got To Consider How You're Going To Protect The Dollar. If You Don't Have The Dollar Maintaining Its Value, No Matter Where You Put The Money You're Not Going To Have Any Value.

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.

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.

Maybe We Ought To Consider A Golden Rule In Foreign Policy: Don't Do To Other Nations What We Don't Want Happening To Us. We Endlessly Bomb These Countries And Then We Wonder Why They Get Upset With Us?

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.

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 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.

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

Deficit Spending

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.

When One Gets In Bed With Government, One Must Expect The Diseases It Spreads.

Banning Guns Because Of Their Misuse Is Like Banning The First Amendment Because One Might Libel Or Slander.

We're Being Taxed To Blow Up Bridges In Iraq And Rebuild Them, While Ours At Home Are Falling Down

Reject The Phony Patients' Bill Of Rights....we Don't Have To Continue Down The Path Of Socialized Medical Care, Especially In America Where Free Markets Have Provided So Much For So Many.

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

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

Legitimate Use Of Violence Can Only Be That Which Is Required In Self-defense.

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.

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.

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

If You Like Small Government You Need To Work Hard At Having A Strong National Defense That Is Not So Militant. Personal Liberty Is The Purpose Of Government, To Protect Liberty - Not To Run Your Personal Life, Not To Run The Economy, And Not To Pretend That We Can Tell The World How They Ought To Live.

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.

One Thing Is Certain: Those Who Worked And Voted For Less Government, The Very Foot Soldiers In The Conservative Revolution, Have Been Deceived. Today, The Ideal Of Limited Government Has Been Abandoned By The Gop, And Real Conservatives Find Their Views No Longer Matter.

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.

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.

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.

Jury Verdicts, Basketball Games, And Even Music Are Enough To Set Off Black Rage, It Seems.

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.

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

Critics Of Nafta And Cafta Warned At The Time That The Agreements Were Actually A Move Toward ... An Eventual Merging Of North America Into A Border-free Area. Proponents Of These Agreements Dismissed This As Preposterous And Conspiratorial. Now We See That The Criticisms Appear To Be Justified.

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.

The Greatest Threat Facing America Today Is The Disastrous Fiscal Policies Of Our Own Government, Marked By Shameless Deficit Spending And Federal Reserve Currency Devaluation. It Is This One-two Punch - Congress Spending More Than It Can Tax Or Borrow, And The Fed Printing Money To Make Up The Difference - That Threatens To Impoverish Us By Further Destroying The Value Of Our Dollars.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Under The United States Constitution, The Federal Government Has No Authority To Hold States "accountable" For Their Education Performance...in The Free Society Envisioned By The Founders, Schools Are Held Accountable To Parents, Not Federal Bureaucrats.

Article 1 Section 8 Of The Constitution Says Congress Has The Ability To Coin Money And Regulate The Currency And Doesn't Say Anything About Gold Or Silver.

But Let It Not Be Said That We Did Nothing. Let Not Those Who Love The Power Of The Welfare/warfare State Label The Dissenters Of Authoritarianism As Unpatriotic Or Uncaring. Patriotism Is More Closely Linked To Dissent Than It Is To Conformity And A Blind Desire For Safety And Security. Understanding The Magnificent Rewards Of A Free Society Makes Us Unbashful In Its Promotion, Fully Realizing That Maximum Wealth Is Created And The Greatest Chance For Peace Comes From A Society Respectful Of Individual Liberty.

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.

The Role Of The Federal Government Is To Protect Our Liberties. That Means They Should Protect Our Religious Liberties To Do What We Want; Our Intellectual Liberty, But It Also Should Protect Our Right To Do To Our Body What We Want, You Know, What We Take Into Our Bodies.

We Have To Restore Confidence That The Marketplace Can Deliver Services As Well As It Can Goods.

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

One Thing Is Clear: The Founding Fathers Never Intended A Nation Where Citizens Would Pay Nearly Half Of Everything They Earn To The Government.

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

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.

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

Have You Noticed The Debt Is Exploding? And It's Not All Because Of Medicare.

Whether [the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing] Was A Setup By The Israeli Mossad, As A Jewish Friend Of Mine Suspects, Or Was Truly A Retaliation By The Islamic Fundamentalists, Matters Little.

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.

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!'

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

Liberty Built Civilization. It Can Rebuild Civilization.

I Have Some Help On Tweeting.

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.

Deficits Mean Future Tax Increases, Pure And Simple. Deficit Spending Should Be Viewed As A Tax On Future Generations, And Politicians Who Create Deficits Should Be Exposed As Tax Hikers.

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.

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.

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

It Would Help The Poor People Who Need Jobs. Minimum Wage Is A Mandate. We're Against Mandates So Why Should We Have It? It Would Be Very Beneficial.

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

[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.

The Federal Reserve System Is Nothing More Than Legalized Counterfeit.

Federal Reserve

It’s Not Part Of Our Constitution To Assume That We Are The World’s Policemen.

It Is No Coincidence That The Century Of Total War Coincided With The Century Of Central Banking.

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

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

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.

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.

Truth Is Treason In The Empire Of Lies.

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

If Global Warming Is Because Of Weather Changes - Which A Lot Of People Believe - There's Not Much We Can Do To Change The Weather Pattern.

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.

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

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.

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

Let The Revolution Begin.

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.

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

In Wartime, People Willing To Sacrifice Liberty For Security.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

If People Are Smokers, Don't They Have To Pay More? Sometimes, You Get Your Insurance Cheaper If You Are A Nonsmoker. So, Let The Markets Sort This Out And Insurance Sort It Out, But Not Having Dictates By The Government Saying Thou, You Must Do This And Your Behavior Doesn't Matter, You Know?

There's Not Much You Can Do About The Bias Of The Media Other Than Try To Counteract It By Putting The Truth Out Best You Can, And The Internet Has Been A Great Weapon For Holding The Media Accountable.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

This Is The Deadening Consensus That Crosses Party Lines, That Dominates Our Major Media, And That Is Strangling The Liberty And Prosperity That Were Once The Birthright Of Americans. Dissenters Who Tell Their Fellow Citizens What Is Really Going On Are Subject To Smear Campaigns That, Like Clockwork, Are Aimed At The Political Heretic. Truth Is Treason In The Empire Of Lies.

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

Immigrants Can Spread Diseases For Which We May Have No Immunity. There Is Also The Question Of Crime And Culture. Many Immigrants Come From Countries With Different Legal Structures And Are Not Willing To Behave In The Way We Expect American Citizens To Behave.

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.

If You Give Up On Your Principles I Don’t Think That’s Being Pragmatic... Doing The Wrong Thing, Even Partially, Isn’t Being Practical...if You Have The Right Ideas And Are Forceful Enough...i Think You Can Get The Support You Need.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Once You Get The Government Involved In Agriculture You'll Have Nothing But Problems And Expenses.

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

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.

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

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

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.

To Me, To Be A Conservative Means To Conserve The Good Parts Of America And To Conserve Our Constitution.

America Was Founded By Men Who Understood That The Threat Of Domestic Tyranny Is As Great As Any Threat From Abroad. If We Want To Be Worthy Of Their Legacy, We Must Resist The Rush Toward Ever-increasing State Control Of Our Society. Otherwise, Our Own Government Will Become A Greater Threat To Our Freedoms Than Any Foreign Terrorist.

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

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.

We Need To Understand The More Government Spends, The More Freedom Is Lost...instead Of Simply Debating Spending Levels, We Ought To Be Debating Whether The Departments, Agencies, And Programs Funded By The Budget Should Exist At All.

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

There Is But One Special Interest That We Should Be Working For, And That Would Solve Just About All Of Our Problems, And That Is Our Liberty.

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

Unskilled And Inexperienced Workers Are The Ones Most Often Deprived Of Employment Opportunities By Increases In The Minimum Wage.

I Think The Policy Makers Like The Idea Of Being The Boss. I Mean People Who Like To Boss Other People Around Like To Go Into Politics So They Can Become The Boss.

It Would Be Virtually Impossible To Finance Wars Without Taxing The People, And The Welfare System Would Be Limited Because There Wouldn't Be Enough Money In The Bank To Sustain It As It Is, And That Would Help Prices Stay Under Control.

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.

The Moral And Constitutional Obligations Of Our Representatives In Washington Are To Protect Our Liberty, Not Coddle The World, Precipitating No-win Wars, While Bringing Bankruptcy And Economic Turmoil To Our People.

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.

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

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.

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.

May Future Generations Look Back On Our Work And Say That These Were Men And Women Who, In A Moment Of Great Crisis, Stood Up To Their Politicians, The Opinion-makers, And The Establishment, And Saved Their Country.

Israeli Government & The Neocons Want Us To Bomb Iran.

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.

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

Privacy Is Freedom. Leave Us Alone!

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.

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.

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.

I Have This Terrible Habit Of Wanting To Try To Be Consistent And Develop A Philosophy That's Coherent.

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 Lean Toward A Flat Tax. But I Want To Make It Real Flat, Like Zero.

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.

When We Accept Or Even Welcome Automobile Checkpoints, Random Searches, Mandatory Identification Cards, And Paramilitary Police In Our Streets, We Have Lost A Vital Part Of Our American Heritage. America Was Born Of Protest, Revolution, And Mistrust Of Government. Subservient Societies Neither Maintain Nor Deserve Freedom For Long.

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

I Would Say Nobody Is Perfect. I Don't Know All The Answers. I Have Don't Want To Run People's Lives And Run The World And Run The Economy. So, My Qualifications Are A Little Bit Different.

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.

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.
