Libertarian Solution: Rent-a-Government

Victor Hugo once famously wrote you cannot resist an idea whose time has come. Obviously liberal-progressives (properly labeled "fascist socialists") resist libertarian ideas even beyond paranoia, as if the world would utterly burn up in flames if men and women were free to determine their own lives.

Yet the impulse to liberty is ever-present in men and women, and is powerfully promoted by the natural energies of the universe. Therefore, the last 150 years of Marxist thought has been answered in the last 50 years or so by libertarian ideas gaining ever more wide-spread prominence.

So what is the next idea whose time has come? It can't be political success in any current system because current systems depend on a desire to triumph over others, and the desire to triumph over others is antithetical to the libertarian impulse.

The next progress for libertarians may come from a new concept called "Rent-a-Government."

Socialism has run it's course. Governments everywhere ... federal governments, state governments, county governments, city governments ... are bankrupt financially (sometimes not even able to pay their bills or their employees) and leading their constituents into conditions of poverty and misery. People who feel creative impulses and want to produce prosperity for themselves and their neighbors cannot gain traction under today's systems. What alternatives do creative people have? They can stay and "go down with the ship," they can leave and "seek greener pastures," or....

They can pass the hat, ask for donations, and call for rescue.

"Who you gonna call?"

No, not Ghostbusters.

"Who you gonna call?"

"Rent-a-Government!"

Rent-a-Government is a community service organization funded by voluntary donations which provides the very most basic essential services which people want from governments ... security from local bad guys, defense against invasion from other areas, adjudication of disputes, facilitation of compensatory justice.

When your automobile is crashed maybe beyond repair, you call Rent-a-Car.  When your system of government is broken seemingly beyond fixes, you call Rent-a-Government. No politicians. No voting wars. No legislatures. No lobbyists. No greedy unions. No corruption. No hassle. Rent-a-government provides only services that are necessary and only what people can afford through voluntary donations.

Especially for smaller towns and counties which are hopelessly bankrupt, Rent-a-Government organizations are life savers in more ways than one because by using Rent-a-Government there is no taxation and no local regulations of a proactive nature.  Thus businesses are allowed to grow and prosper.  Inventors, discoverers of new processes, and entrepreneurs are attracted to the area by the promise of freedom and profit.  Increased productive activity brings renewed prosperity to everyone in the area.  Everybody breathes a sigh of relief and becomes much happier than they were under the old system.

"Who you gonna call?"

"Rent-a-Government!"



To understand the evil psychology of modern "liberal progressives," read Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"








"God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER. The laws of God work only for your good, and there ARE no other laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawLESS, and therefore chaotic." -Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles

Is Sarah Palin's Joy Ayn Rand's Ideal?

Lesson 50: "I join Ayn Rand, educating spiritually." Government worshippers are in control of most universities, virtually every public school system, and almost every major media market. The general public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe that if there is a problem, or the illusion of a problem, government solutions are the answer ... a new government program, a new government bureaucracy, more power to government. Because almost all avenues of education and information have been under the control of government worshippers, the vast majority of people are stuck in thinking habits which will never for long periods of time serve liberty. Because people's underlying thinking habits will rise to the surface again and again, any libertarian political victory can only be short-lived ... unless people's underlying way of thinking is changed. As much as I might hate to admit it, thorough re-education of the public cannot not be a number one priority for libertaria...

Ron Paul is Wrong; Mitt Romney is Right!

"Ron Paul does not believe we went into Iraq because of 9/11. But Mitt Romney obviously believes we did. So who’s right?" ~Gary Benoit The strained arguments of some libertarians that Dwight Eisenhower is somehow responsible for the 9/11 attack in New York is equivalent to arguing that President James Buchanan was responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre of the Baker-Fancher emigrant party on 9/11 in Utah. It is truth in the sense we are all responsible for everything in our world. This is a very valuable truth, wouldn't you say? The twisted leftist argument is that Islamic Jihadists would not have declared war on Western societies if it hadn't been for Western government policies reaching back through the years. But anyone who studies the Koran knows this argument is bullshit. The Koran demands that war be waged on "infidels" until everyone on earth is either converted to Islam, enslaved by Islamists, or killed. Mitt Romney is right. The United States...

Jesus Christ & Ayn Rand: Brother & Sister

It is far too easy (intellectually lazy) to conclude that Jesus Christ and Ayn Rand are miles apart in what they teach. Nothing is further from the truth. It is only necessary to juxtapose the words of Ayn Rand with the words of Jesus to see they teach exactly the same. Ayn Rand summarizes her teaching this way: "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." — Ayn Rand, Appendix to Atlas Shrugged Let's look at the words of Jesus Christ regarding these four elements: 1. heroic being, 2. happiness as purpose, 3. productiveness, and 4. reason as absolute. Let's start with the idea that man must choose to be a heroic being. Here is how Jesus Christ says it: Be not content with littleness, but be sure you understand what littleness is, and why you could never BE content with it. Littleness is the offering you ...
