Libertarian Spirit Shared By Everyone

Liberty lovers laugh when they see pundits making pretzels out of their brains trying to explain the meaning of the rise of Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina; and the burning of those candidates who had built a reputation as Republican Senators and Governors. The explanation is actually very simple. What is happening in Republican politics is a manifestation of a natural law: the old must die before the thoroughly new can be reborn, as portrayed in the myth of the phoenix, summarized by Dr. Gail Brenner: "Near the end of its life, [the phoenix] settles into its nest of twigs which then burns ferociously, reducing bird and nest to ashes. And from those ashes, a fledgling phoenix rises – renewed and reborn." Compare what is happening in the Republican Party to a devastating forest fire in Western Montana. All the old forest is left charred, black, seemingly lifeless. There doesn't seem to be any forest remaining. But wait! The intense heat has burst open pi...

Our spirit is free. So unless our minds are almost 100% ruled by ego and ego-vested interests there comes a time when we feel the urge to live in a world that reflects the freedom of our spirit. Ultimately that urge grows into a desire to somehow assure political liberty in our world. At this point, one's intellect re-engages and asks: "But by what means? What will be the fastest, most efficient method?" And the merits of various approaches can be argued forever. That's what intellects do ... mental masturbation is pleasureful to those whose egos still hold sway somewhat. In the Liberty Movement we've seen endless arguments on the pros and cons of aligning oneself with the Libertarian Party, or with Liberty Republicans, or with a coyote campaign. But the fact that such arguments go on endlessly should give us a clue that the intellect has asked the wrong question and offers wrong answers. The real question is: "What method is right for me, for me pe...

On the surface Rand Paul's appeal to people seems to be related to his attractive stance on various issues such as eliminating government spying on its own citizens, strong yet non-trespassing defense, or liberty being more important than elitist schemes. But the real appeal of Rand Paul to a vast majority of voters will be much deeper, an attraction which none of the other presidential candidates can match. A politically neutral person who can see auras or sense auras will verify, "Rand Paul is much more open to his innate spirit than the other candidates." [Atheists please forgive this article's use of the term "spirit." Consider substituting for "spirit" the scientific phrase "universal holographic nature."] It will also be verified to us that the overtly religious candidates like Mike Huckabee and Ron Santorum are actually more closed to our innate spirit, as if their religious beliefs at least in some ways render them closed-...

"If libertarianism means anything, it means abandonment now and always of government attempts to better the lives of citizens economically." --Anonymous From U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics:  92,986,000 16 yrs and older not in labor force The reason "The Forgotten Man" by libertarian writer Amity Shlaes is important reading for current Americans is that President Obama has spent several years pursuing in essence the same destructive policies Shlaes describes in her book, and the latest Democratic Party presidential aspirants want to double down with even more insane Utopian policies. The Obama Administration has been following the footsteps of the Roosevelt Administration from the 1930s: attempting to "cure" perceived economic problems by vast government expenditures to fund Utopian welfare programs. Just as in the 1930s, insane government spending (even ignoring idiotic modern levels of business regulation) continues to pour suga...
