The Destruction of America

"The mere suggestion of a Reasonable Profits Board means only one thing: We’ve officially reached Atlas Shrugged territory." ~Nicolas Loris and Rachael Slobodien,

Lincoln's Curse (but he got it from Hamilton first)

A nice piece from Tom D.

'Honest' Abe. 'Honest, honest' Abe.

Partisan Politics—A Fool’s Game for the Masses

This was a comment to Robert Higgs blog entry 10/12/2009 that I found to be so true:

"I have attempted to point out to people quite often, the divide and conquer strategy of government.

First, separate us into groups according to race, religion, age, gender, abilities, nationality, geographical location, occupation, economic status, etc…

Second, pit us against each other.

Third, get in the middle and rescue “us” from “them” by regulating “their” actions and stealing “their” undeserved wealth.

What people really need to get through their noggins is that there are really only two classes – Those who believe in the initiation of force as a legitimate means of achieving their goals, and those who do not.

I like to call them the peaceful productive class and the pernicious parasite class."

Running Out Of Options

A large segment of this nation's population is doing its best to live the American dream. We are the rugged individualists who don't need handouts from the government. We are the people who produce the goods and services. We have made intelligent decisions that have enabled us to be financially secure and have health insurance. We also pay the taxes. Almost all Americans have the ability to achieve what we have achieved, if the government would just get out of their way, and we gladly would provide for the rest through private charity because we are caring people.

We are able to read and understand the Constitution of the United States of America without any help from Supreme Court Justices. We know that all the representatives in Congress who voted for the health care reform bill committed a criminal act because they violated the limits placed upon them by the Constitution. We also know that if this health care reform is enacted it will erode everyone's liberties, make everyone less prosperous, and destroy the high-quality health care that currently is provided to all.

We will not allow the illegal actions of an authoritarian government to ruin our lives, the lives of our children, and the lives of everyone else who lives in this nation. We have voted and petitioned Congress. We have assembled to peacefully protest. None of these measures has been effective. We are running out of options.

Quotes from Samuel Adams

"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government,our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." IT'S HERE!!!!

"If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave."

Volunteerism = Slavery

We are losing jobs at an exponential rate, we are engaged in unending wars, our economy is tanking, and big gov wants what?

It's straight out of "1984". Hell, it's straight out of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, and Maoist China. If you don't play pretty, you must be subversive. You will be re-educated or eliminated.

Include me out.
