Liberty – American and Proud

Libertarians, listen up.

By Robert | May 10, 2011

I’ve given a lot of thought to the “Libertarian” viewpoint. I usually do when Ron Paul’s name comes up. I’m sure it’s purely coincidental that its only around election time…

I’ve heard Ron Paul’s view on our Military, our liberty, our nations spending spree and while I agree with Paul on his spending spree sentiments I have a real problem with his “Liberty” views as well as some of his “Military industrial complex” beliefs.

Let’s start with his “American Liberty” views:

Ron Paul is of the mindset that making drugs legal would reduce the costs to the nation because we’d quit housing drug users/dealers in our prisons and we could then tax the product, which would increase Government revenue. Now, I’m not saying that’s a moonbat approach but I will say it’s dumber than dirt.

I think Ron Paul would have been great to have in power back in the early days of America. If he would have stayed in power through the 1900’s, perhaps his views might not have been seen as so ridiculous. The problem is the genie will not go back in the bottle easily.

The biggest problem with Ron Paul’s position on “Freedom” is there are too many Americans that can’t handle TRUE Liberty. And unless you are willing to outlaw the ACLU and the entire judicial system for about 20 years, Ron Paul’s “vision” is unrealistic. Ron Paul’s entire structure of America revolves around letting people do what they want to do as long as it doesn’t affect OTHERS, but he doesn’t expound about his plan to deal with those who infringe on OTHERS rights.

A simple analogy. A guy up river from you dumps his waste in the river, that’s your drinking water, how do you feel about your neighbors rights to use the river?

What you don’t hear from Ron Paul is consequences. The consequences for actions that step on the rights of others is a big issue with me. For example: If you’re dumb enough to want to sit out on the street and shoot heroin, fine be my guest. It’s called thinning the herd as far as I’m concerned. BUT what about the businesses on that street? What about the home values in the area? What about the kids that have to walk by that idiot on the way to school? What about the crimes this guy commits to get his drugs? Do the people in the area not have rights too? Where do you draw the line?

TSA Searching Grandma and 3 yr olds while…

By Robert | November 24, 2010

I find it absolutely amazing that our government officials are OKAY with what the TSA is doing, I find it extremely troubling that our American brethren are okay with it too. I’m listening to some reports of people stopping by TSA offices to thank them for what they are doing. WTF is wrong with you people? The excuse is unanimous “If people protest it will slow us down” or “The lines will be longer if people protest this action” 😐

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. (Ben Franklin or Richard Jackson)

These inspections of grandma and 3 yr old autistic children are ridiculous. The ONLY reason for searching these folks is POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. The lines would move fine if the TSA screeners asked questions, profiled passengers and the FBI/CIA/HSA did their jobs.

Americans have become sheep. We have been over run with idiocy and what used to be strength in America has turned into apathy. We no longer see this invasion of privacy and intrusion into OUR personal as “Wrong” we see it as a “Safety net”

Let me ask you this oh great and intelligent Americans:

If a rapist was running around NY who has been known to rape women in skirts, would you be okay with the PD herding all women with skirts into a bus for their safety? I mean the women would be safe right? what’s the big deal?….

I ask you people to look at what you are accepting. We accepted the patriot act, we’ve accepted wire tapping, we are being forced into INTERNET Censorship, we are soon to give the power of the internet to our GOVERNMENT, now we are accepting the government hand in our pants for safety sake… Where is the line they can not cross?

Where is the line that will wake you up? Will it take the government to knock on your door and demand you hand over your guns and bibles before you wake up?

I sure hope you wont wait that long.

But guess what… While the TSA is groping it’s way to glory, North Korea is announcing it’s intentions. China is sitting on the fence and has just joined hands with Russia. Our enemy list has grown, our ally list is shrinking and our very survival depends on the TSA searching an 80 year old woman with a prostetic leg…

Remember when Obama said “We are the ones we have been waiting for” It appears he was speaking for Iran, China, North Korea and Russia.. They were waiting for a weakened America, and they got it.

Every day of no action against the Norks gives Iran confidence, gives China yawns and the Norks hope.

Someone wake me from this nightmare and please someone sneak into the White House and give Obama a shot of testosterone… We need a leader with Nuts and we got a nut trying to be leader.

Stop the TSA, Stop the NORKS, and START getting America back on track to lead the world. That is our calling and we can not do that from the fetal position.
