Libertarian Spirit Shared By Everyone

The American public has been screaming "government needs to do something to create jobs!" President Obama, after two years of shoving his liberal-progressive agenda down people's throats, finally woke up after last November's election and said, "Oh, I get it! Americans want jobs!" At which point he redoubled his efforts to create business-government partnerships. Unfortunately nothing dampens an economy and kills overall job creation more than business-government partnerships. Read " The Birth of Plenty ," by William J. Bernstein; or to really understand read the greatest novel ever written, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged . Libertarians have a seldom mentioned ideal: the separation of business and state . This does not mean that government forsakes its duty to prosecute fraud or assault when practiced by businesses. It does mean government allows the "invisible hand" of the free market to regulate business; government stands aside and...

The bottom-line argument for libertarianism is a spiritual argument. Your spirit is free and needs you to be politically free so you can be guided to the fullest expression of life. End of discussion. Almost as compelling an argument for a libertarian structure of society is the ethical/moral argument: people being forced to comply with the man-made dictates of those in power is, pure and simple - immoral. But what if you find yourself in a discussion with a leftist who just doesn't care about either fullness of life or moral ethics, someone for whom the end justifies the means, and the end is his or her fantasy of a politically manipulated imagined to be "fair" economic system? Then you might have to fall back on your arguments based on economics, right? So it pays for libertarians to learn a few principles of economics. And it might even be beneficial to learn something of the history of economics in order to best refute the faulty premises that have become po...

President Obama has no choice but to offer you up as a sacrifice to his god.  His worship of the illusion that there can be a "common good" for society which transcends the good of individuals in the society demands your sacrifice. Yet libertarians fiddle. Are you amazed that libertarians blab about marijuana while the economy of the entire world is crashing?  Are you astounded that libertarians nit-pick about bedroom issues while the entire populace is being reduced to slavery?   Many libertarians spend their time forever addressing puny little issues which (a) make them look to the public like petty teenagers, and (b) serve only to side-track the public’s thought from an infinitely more important underlying truth. Okay, let's suppose you want to do some real good for the libertarian cause.  How about addressing  the one and only truly meaningful issue?  Maybe a little story would illustrate what libertarians should be talking about. One upon...

 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...
