GoldMoney. The best way to buy gold & silver

That’s right Dorothy. The police have no duty to protect you.

Watch this video, please:

Now tell me if you think gun prohibition is a still a good idea. No duty to protect, yet you can’t protect yourself. Do you think those women might have stopped those rapists if they had guns? You decide. And please comment.

Marc Stevens: No Evidence Anyone Is a Taxpayer

Marc Stevens talks to an IRS agent on behalf of his client. He asks a simple question and the agent refuses to answer. That’s not suspicious, is it?

Here’s another call to a tax agent, this time with the IRS. Once again, an agent refuses to answer a simple evidentiary question. If there was evidence people were taxpayers (evidence, not tired political accusations) then the tax terrocrats would be happy to provide it. Of course, it’s all a lie and that’s why they don’t answer the questions. There is no getting away from the truth – taxation is theft.

At the County Unfair

Went to the county fair today and, big surprise, most of the booths were owned by government organizations..state and county. It was nice to see a few booths for private organizations, but they were few and far between. At least there are private vendors selling food, anyway.

As a joke I stood next to a life-size cardboard cut out of Obama and the people in the booth said, “take a picture!” Then I realized that I was standing in the Democrat Party booth. Oh boy. One of them tried to give me a Democrat Party cardboard fan. I refused politely then he quipped, “oh maybe you want one that says Republican.”

“No, but if you have one that says Anarchist or Voluntaryist, I’d take that instead,” I answered.

“Oh, you’re one of those who don’t vote, huh?” the old man grimaced.

“Yes, I don’t vote.” I admitted.

He slapped me on the shoulder in a mock comradely way and said, “Thanks, buddy, for being one of the ones who are wrecking the country!” And I watched his demeanor turn more ugly.

I laughed and walked away. I get the feeling he would have been happier if I was a Republican than an Anarchist. I’m the one wrecking the economy because he’s voting for statists. Wow.

What do we replace government with?

Whenever I mention to anyone that I think government should be abolished so we can be truly free, I usually get a response something akin to questions like the following:

  1. Who will defend our borders?
  2. Who will provide police and fire protection?
  3. What about the roads? Who will make roads available?
  4. What about education? Social security? Health care? Welfare?

Fear the Boom and the Bust Rap

John Stossel on Global Warming…

The “other side” to the debate of whether man is causing Global Warming…and if it’s even a bad thing. According to Stossel, there are plenty of reputible scientists out there who are questioning mankind’s role in Global Warming.

“Daddy, why did you pay me with a Federal Reserve Note?”

My eight year-old son and I have a business arrangement. He takes out the trash and I pay him a dollar. A couple of weeks ago, he did his job (well, I do have to remind him that it’s trash day, but he eventually empties all the baskets in the house and hauls the containers to the curb), but upon searching my wallet, I discovered I didn’t have any one dollar bills to pay him with. So I had an idea–I could pay him with a copper Liberty Dollar until I got enough change.

A letter to my Dad–why I don’t like Sarah Palin…

Sarah Palin shows off her rack. My brother-in-law thinks this is a fake, though.My dad and I had a political discussion on the phone a couple of days ago. It’s interesting that he and I agree on a lot of issues, but I’m afraid he still holds with his old Republican Party ideals. In other words, he’s emotionally invested in the partisan system of politics and due to this, I believe he can’t see the forest for the trees. For some reason, he is convinced that Sarah Palin is going to be the next Ronald Regan. Okay I’m being facetious–I know why, and it has to do with how partisan he is. He is hoping for a savior, a leader who will unite everyone. I argued that we already have a leader, and his name is Barrack Obama, and that is the best Washington will have to offer.

The Elephant in the Room

When I bring up the fact that the social state is a system built upon violence against its own citizens, it’s amazing the reactions I get from average people. One of my friends told me tax evaders and people who resist arrest are not patriotic. When the state gives a command, it is your duty to follow it without question. And if you don’t like it, write to your congressman! I believe that by classifying the people who question the authority of the state as “extremists,” we don’t have to face the cold and ugly truth about the so-called benevolent state.

Some dissenters would label my friend mentioned above as a “statist” or “state apologist.” I don’t like labels; they just divide people. I think of people like my friend as just, well, people who went to the same state-run schools as I did. Of course the state is going to teach all of us that it is benevolent and ours is the freest society in the world (maybe it is, but it looks less so with each passing day). It’s in the state’s best interest.
