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?

The New Presidency and the Future of America

I have been silent for nearly a month and a half, but the silence is coming to an end. Barack Obama has taken over the presidency with an ideology that the Communist Party of the United States is more than happy to see stating "[i]n any case, we have our work cut out for us. But I think we can confidently say that change is coming. And we will build a more perfect union. Yes we can." To say the least this is extremely concerning regarding the future Liberty of Americans and to the survival of the greatest country the world has ever seen.

A spending bill that will cost future generations over $1 trillion is on its way to be passed purposely mislabeled as "stimulus" or an economic "recovery" bill. A universal health care system where the government instead of the doctor or the individual will be the ultimate decision maker regarding your life is already on its way. Labor union's power to intimidate is becoming a reality. The full fledged socialization of America is underway despite the Constitution's clear prohibition of this level of government action.

America's future is in limbo. Now is not the time for silence or apathy. It is time to ensure that Liberty will continue to be the guiding principle of American governance.
