Libertarians and the Confederate Battle Flag

Libertarians and the Confederate Battle Flag:

“By calling for the eradication of the Confederate battle flag from public places the Cato Institute, the NAACP, and the Southern Poverty Law Center are saying that we should destroy the most enduring symbol of opposition to centralized governmental power and tyranny, a symbol that to this day is a part of secession movements around the world, from Quebec to Northern Italy.

No one was a more articulate and outspoken abolitionist than the great libertarian legal philosopher Lysander Spooner of Massachusetts. But in 1870 Spooner wrote that ‘all these cries of having ‘abolished slavery,’ of having ‘saved the country,’ of having ‘preserved the union,’ of establishing a ‘government of consent,’ and of ‘maintaining the national honor’ are all gross, shameless, transparent cheats — so transparent that they ought to deceive no one.’

The great historian of liberty, Lord Acton, wrote to Robert E. Lee on November 4, 1866, that ‘I saw in States Rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of he sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy. . . . I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo.’”

Fox News expert denies he claimed birth certificate legit:

“NEW YORK – The computer graphics expert Fox News relied upon to claim the birth certificate the White House released April 27 was legitimate insists that the network must retract the story, claiming it deliberately misquoted him and continues to ignore his repeated requests.

Jean Claude Tremblay told WND that that none of his comments would permit the conclusion that the Obama birth certificate is an authentic document.

‘I no longer trust Fox News,’ he said, expressing anger verging on distain for the way he feels the network treated him. ‘Despite my protests, Fox News will not allow me to correct their story.’

The controversy traces to a Web story by Fox News reporter Jana Winter two days after the White House released the birth certificate, titled ‘Expert: No Doubt Obama’s Birth Certificate is Legit.’”

The U.S. Constitution: The 18th Century Patriot Act ~ “It was not Thomas Jefferson or Patrick Henry that led the effort to call the Constitutional Convention, which neither even attended. It was Hamilton and his Federalists that wanted it”

The U.S. Constitution: The 18th Century Patriot Act ~ “It was not Thomas Jefferson or Patrick Henry that led the effort to call the Constitutional Convention, which neither even attended. It was Hamilton and his Federalists that wanted it”

By 1787, there were two dominant parties in America. Unlike the two dominant parties today, the Federalists and what would later become the Democratic-Republicans of that time really were diametrically opposed on fundamental issues.

Led by Alexander Hamilton, the Federalists sought a much more powerful central government with a central bank, a standing army, and an alliance with big business that would control the economy.

In opposition to them were Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and their followers that believed that the central government’s powers should be limited, and that power should be concentrated locally (and mistrusted generally). They opposed a central bank and a standing army and supported a truly free market.

It was not Thomas Jefferson or Patrick Henry that led the effort to call the Constitutional Convention, which neither even attended. It was Hamilton and his Federalists that wanted it. As superbly documented in his book, Hamilton’s Curse, Thomas Dilorenzo reminds us that Hamilton actually wanted even more power for the central government than he eventually got into the Constitution.

“At the convention, Hamilton proposed a permanent president and senate, with all political power in the national government, as far away as possible from the people, and centered in the executive. He also wanted “all laws of the particular states, contrary to the constitution or the laws of the United States [government], to be utterly void,” and he proposed that “the governor…of each state shall be appointed by the general government, and shall have a negative [i.e., a veto] upon the laws about to be passed in the state of which he is governor.”[2]

Hamilton did not succeed in getting all of the power he wanted for the central government, but he succeeded in increasing that power quite a bit.

This too should seem familiar. At every point in American history that interested parties have tried to expand the power of government, they have attempted at expansive powers and settled for something less than they sought but more than they previously had. With each “compromise,” Americans have lost a little more of their liberty.

The U.S. Constitution: The 18th Century Patriot Act

The U.S. Constitution: The 18th Century Patriot Act:

“At some point in the past, the American ethos was centered on suspicion of government –whether liberal, conservative, or otherwise.

For most of America’s first two centuries, Americans were taxed less, regulated less, and left more alone by their government than any other people in the world. These conditions resulted in an explosion of innovation, wealth, and culture unsurpassed at any time in human history.

As that trend seems to have reversed, Americans look to their past to try to establish where we have gone wrong and what we can do to solve our problems.

Increasingly, some Americans point to the U.S. Constitution and our abandonment of its “limits on government” as the reason for our downfall.

It is generally argued by “strict constitutionalists” that the purpose of the U.S. Constitution was to limit the power of the government.

Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Inflating War by Thomas DiLorenzo

Inflating War by Thomas DiLorenzo

Inflating War by Thomas DiLorenzo:

““One can say without exaggeration that inflation is an indispensable means of militarism,” Ludwig von Mises wrote. “Without it, the repercussions of war on welfare become obvious much more quickly and penetratingly; war weariness would set in much earlier.”

This explains why American politicians have always resorted to the legalized counterfeiting of central banking to finance wars, the most expensive of all government programs. If citizens had a clearer picture of the true costs, they would be more inclined to oppose non-defensive intervention and to force all wars to hastier conclusions.

Government can finance war (and everything else) by only three methods: taxes, debt, and the printing of money. Taxes are the most visible and painful, followed by debt finance, which crowds out private borrowing, drives up interest rates, and imposes the double burden of principal and interest. Money creation, on the other hand, makes war seem costless to the average citizen. But of course there is no such thing as a free lunch.

As a general rule, the longer a war lasts,

America’s Disgraceful History Of Military “Trials”

America‘s Disgraceful History Of Military “Trials”

America’s Disgraceful History Of Military “Trials”:

“In 1851 the Santee Sioux Indians in Minnesota sold twenty-four million acres of land to the federal government for $1.4 million. By August of 1862 thousands of white settlers continued to pour into the Indian lands even though none of the money had been paid to the Santee Sioux. There was a crop failure that year, and the Indians were starving. The Lincoln administration refused to pay them the money they were owed, breaking yet another Indian treaty, and the starving Sioux revolted.

A short ‘war’ ensued, with Lincoln putting one of his favorite generals, General John Pope, in charge of federal forces in Minnesota. Pope announced that ‘It is my purpose to utterly exterminate the Sioux . . . . They are to be treated as maniacs or wild beasts, and by no means as people with whom treaties or compromise can be made.’ (Similar statements were being made at the time by General William Tecumseh Sherman, who said that to all Southern secessionists, ‘why, death is mercy’).

The Santee Sioux were overwhelmed by the federal army by October of 1862, at which time General Pope held hundreds of Indian men, women, and children who were considered to be prisoners of war. The men were all herded into forts where military ‘trials’ were held, each of which lasted about ten minutes according to David A. Nichols in Lincoln and the Indians.”………………

“Regarding the case, Taitz stated:

If Obama is committing fraud, and this application was never filled out by him, he has no expectation of privacy on documents that were stolen by him. The person who originally filled out this application was born in 1890. He would be 120 years old, and we did not find any records of his, so he is probably deceased. When a person is deceased and was living alone and didn’t have any family and his death was never reported to the Social Security Administration, according to their records, he is still alive. That’s why they’re saying that this is a private matter. If they have a last-known address for this person, then the Social Security Administration needs to send an agent to that address to see if the person is still alive.

It’s a laugh line, because, like, so many of the other amendments to the Bill of Rights, that “godamn piece of paper,” as George W. Bush referred to it, pleading the Fifth – that is, declining to assist the authorities in your own prosecution – has become a sick joke.

“A growing swell of Americans has spent well over two years petitioning our government for redress of a grievance—that Barack Obama is not constitutionally eligible to hold the office of president.

That was based on his nearly non-existent documentation, and that his father was a British subject when Obama the lesser was born (and, therefore, not a natural born Citizen, as the Constitution requires). Much has been written on the subject, and many forms of communication have been directed to our elected officials about it.

To date, not one of those queries has resulted in anything even resembling the truth, as they’ve essentially told us that our petition of this grievance isn’t worthy of their time or energy. I know that, often, the truth is hard, but it shouldn’t be outside the reach of at least a few members of Congress.
