Libertarian Spirit Shared By Everyone

 President Obama's fellow travelers can often be heard saying things like, "health care is a right." Such a nice sounding liberal-progressive pipe dream! But a horrible perversion of a glorious concept! Yet we probably should keep in mind, as Ayn Rand wrote, "The concept of individual rights is so new in human history that most men have not grasped it fully to this day." So while not supporting President Obama we forgive him because he knows not what he does. It's up to libertarians and those who are somewhat attracted to libertarian ideas to educate America as to the nature of rights, namely that rights are freedoms, a right is a freedom to act. We can use Ayn Rand's description of the concept: A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action in a social context. There is only one fundamental right (all the others are its consequences or corollaries): a man’s right to his own life. Life is a process of self- sus...

The above video hits the nail on the head. A free market devoid of political intervention does not enable continuing self-destructive behavior. In a free market, lessons are quickly learned and corrections made. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, is dedicated to relieving people of responsibility, unburdening them from the difficulties of learning their lessons, enabling them to make mistakes and still profit. Democrats are enablers. It might be said that libertarians who flirt with the Democratic Party don't really understand the issues. So maybe this principle needs to be stated clearly: All issues championed by the Democratic Party boil down to forcing redistribution of wealth and enabling irrational behavior. Do not suppose we libertarians have come to bring peace to the earth. We have not come to bring peace, but to allow people the freedom to learn their lessons even if their choice is to learn the hard way ... a way which is rarely peaceful until the lesson is ...

Do not sabotage your life by sitting there despairing, allowing Obama's "Progressives" to ruin your country! The spirit of freedom is alive within you. Let it lift you off your bench and inspire you to fight "Progressive" dictatorship.  Get to work for the new Republican "young guns" who may not always be perfect libertarians but are dedicated to restoring the original U.S. Constitution. Save your country first. You can create a more complete freedom later. 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 e...

No U.S. President has ever lied down and rolled over before international opinion like President Obama, and no U.S. President has ever raised himself up from his international groveling and tried so desperately to compensate by forcing national socialism on American people. President Obama presents a clear and unmistakable picture of the truly hideous life-destroying power of ego. So what issue do lovers of freedom rally around to defend themselves? How about states' rights? Of course libertarians know that states don't really have rights, that the concept of the right to liberty applies only to individuals. But what if championing states' rights (because it does have Constitutional basis) is a tactical defense which aids the ultimate libertarian goal? One outstanding states' rights candidate who often sounds very libertarian, and who has said "don't call me a conservative, call me a freedom lover," is Morgan Philpot, Republican candidate for U.S. H...

The Tea Party anthem, "I am America," sung by popular singer Krista Branch, is very inspirational in the sense that it invites us to feel our spirit and take a stand. Tyranny cannot make nearly as moving a video. It is impossible to make a video which could really motivate people to shove socialized medicine down each other's throats, or move people to tax each other into poverty. But a Tea Party video can be moving. Like it or not, Tea Party associates are motivated by a spirit which dwells beneath surface appearances ... the spirit of liberty. Also like it or not, the Tea Party movement was started by libertarians, even now has a strong libertarian presence, and will continue to serve very well to spread many libertarian ideas. Libertarianism is enhanced greatly by the Tea Party movement in at least two very important ways: 1. Tea Partiers are calling widespread attention to the corrupt nature of the thugs running the U.S. legislative and executive branches of gover...

Socialists could not win elections using their own Socialist Party, which was too obviously ideological. So they infiltrated the Democratic Party, won elections as Democrats, then slowly but surely made the Democratic Party their own. There are no longer any "States Rights Democrats" never mind individual rights Democrats. All who remain in the party of Obama are Democrats in name only ... DEM - ONS. Most libertarians would like to avoid politics, but those who are realists recognize the need to sometimes be involved in politics as a defense of their rights . If libertarians do not defend freedom, who will? Although libertarians don't want to be known as RINOS, or DEMONS, or any other labeled party crashers, if they cannot start winning elections using the Libertarian Party, then they need to start winning using the Republican Party. To stand by and helplessly watch freedom disappear into oblivion is not a rational option. Whether they enter politics as LPers or as Republ...

When asked to define libertarianism in a single fundamental core statement, most libertarians answer with some version of what has been called the "non-aggression principle." For example, quoting from the Libertarian Party's Statement of Principles: "We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose." Astute observers might detect behind the last part of this principle a hint of the universal Golden Rule: "Don't treat others in a way you would not want to be treated." Libertarians, however, recognize that the Golden Rule as usually stated leaves the door open for rights violation in politics: "Since I don't mind paying a fair share, I have no problem forcing a fair share out of others." (The psychological denial device used b...
