State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters.

Coldly it lies; and this lie slips from its mouth:
"I, the state, am the people."

-----Lysander Spooner

Liberty and Nothing Less


Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force.
Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

-George Washington

George Washington was the indispensable man in US history. He well understood the natural character of government and led the fight for American Liberty against oppression. Unfortunately today we Americans are still fighting the same fight except it is not against a foreign government but our own.

I leave you with a final thought by syndicated radio talk show host Paul Harvey to ruminate:

They have gun control in Cuba. They have universal health care in Cuba. So why do they want to come here?

Prayers to Severe Weather Victims in Iowa

I would like to take a moment to offer my prayers and thoughts to the victims of the devastating flooding in Iowa. Towns have been destroyed and lives ruined. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

As an Eagle Scout I would also like to give my thoughts and prayers to the 4 scouts who have died while at a summer camp in Iowa. This is a tremendous loss to the scouting community and I can only imagine the grief that their troops and families must be going through. A place of fun and challenge has turned into a place of tragedy. The camp will be forever changed and this moment will forever be marked in the minds of fellow Scouters.

My prayers are with you all. God Bless!
