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?

Happy Independence Day!

I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Happy and Safe 4th of July and remind you of what this day means. To often I believe Americans and our elected representatives forget.

This day in history is widely recognized as the celebration of our independence from a tyrannical and oppressive government that stripped freedom from individuals and Liberty from the life of Man. This day is a celebration of when Liberty triumphed over tyranny, over a government that thought it knew what was better for its citizens than the individuals in society, and the day Americans proclaimed to the world that all individuals as a right of birth are given certain unalienable rights that no person or entity can take away. That is the right to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" free from the tyranny that governmental intervention brings.

Thousands of Americans throughout history have fought against tyranny to ensure that the light of Freedom and Liberty in the world shall not be extinguished but will be retained for all generations.

I would like to conclude by giving my Thanks and Prayers to our troops who are currently overseas and know only too well the cost that Freedom brings and who will not be home to celebrate this day with their friends and family. I would also like to give special appreciation to those families and friends who have lost a loved one fighting for our freedom in any war. Finally I would like to thank all military veterans for your sacrifice on this day.

May this be a day that Men throughout the world look to our founding as a blue print and guiding light in a world of darkness, tyranny, and oppression in their own fight for Liberty and Freedom.

I encourage everyone on this day to take 10 minutes and read or reread the Declaration of Independence to understand the reason for this Declaration.

God Bless and let Freedom, Liberty, and Individual Choice live in the heart of all Americans!
