Libertarian Basics by Walter Block

Libertarian Basics by Walter Block

Just thought about the basics of being a Libertarian. I was watching Glenn Beck ,one evening,(i was channel surfing). And Glenn asked a question.What is different between Republicans and Libertarians? No body in the audience said anything. I think we as people who advocate for Liberty,and no oppression from the state,need to know a simple answer, That will be the lynch pin in all of this.

Liberty- is a concept in political philosophy that identifies the condition in which human beings are able to govern themselves, to behave according their own free will,and take responsibility for their actions. Law.com defines Liberty-n. Freedom from restraint and the power to follow one's own will to choose a course of conduct. Liberty ,like Freedom has it's inherent restraint to act without harm to others and within the accepted rules of conduct for the benefit of the general public.

Libertarian-a person who advocates liberty. especially with thought and conduct, a person who maintains the doctrine of free will.

Republican- one who favors a republic is best form of government. against monarchy and a dictorship. generally associated with the rule of law.

I would rather be a Libertarian, as Fredric Bastiat said, the law has been perverted.

Leave Afghanistan NOW!

Quote of the Day: "We will never be able to secure and police every town and village in Afghanistan. Nor will we be able to build Afghanistan from the ground up into a Western-style democracy." -- a letter to President Obama from 27 Senators
More members of Congress are starting to agree that we should leave Afghanistan.Let's encourage them.
That's why I sent the following letter to Congress, from which you can copy or borrow . . .

The President's plan to remove 33,000 troops from Afghanistan over 18 months is insufficient. We should remove all of our troops immediately.
We've met our objectives. As 27 Senators have pointed out http://1.usa.gov/lMhCIe  . . .
* Osama bin Laden is dead
* The country is no longer an Al Qaeda safe haven
* There are only 50 to 100 Al Qaeda members remaining there
Are there really other reasons to stay? Can we . . .
* police every community in Afghanistan?
* build it into a Western-style democracy?
Our continued presence will NOT make the U.S. safer. It will NOT improve Afghanistan's future. Instead, it will mean MORE . . .
* dead and wounded Americans
* radicalization among Afghans who resent our occupation
* of my tax dollars flushed by corrupt Afghan officials
* debt -- to the tune of $100 billion per year
This is why a partial withdrawal is insufficient. YOU can make the President bring ALL our troops home immediately.
* De-fund the war in this year's Defense Authorization bill
* Support bills such as Rep. Barbara Lee's H.R. 780, which would fund the withdrawalhttp://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.780:
Take these steps to end the war, and you will see an increase in your public support.

But before you do that, please take a moment to read the following update . . .
I reported last week that this will be a tough month for us financially. We need to raise $26,967 by the end of July. I'm please to report real progress. We're down to $21,494 needed.
Unless there's someone out there who wants to do the full amount, we've still got a bit of work to do. Any amount you can contribute will help.
But what helps the most, for the long term, is new monthly pledges. These assure constant progress, and reduce the need for these kinds of fundraising appeals. Best of all, you can start a pledge of any size. We have a bunch of people pledging $3, $5, or $8 per month, and just as many pledging $10, $12, $15 each month. In fact, we have several who pledge $50 per month, and even a few persons pledging more than $100 per month.
There's a level for everyone. And, your pledge is our budget.
Thank you very much for your support,
Jim Babka
President

NATO kills children in Libya

Way to go America,

The Hemp Network

The Hemp Network

Hemp ,the cousin of marijuana. The Constitution is written on hemp paper. Root word of canvas ,is from cannabis. It has so much to offer as in ,renewable energy, better than using corn.Because it doesnt mold as bad as cotton, The Corporatist giants of the cotton and timber got behind to get Marijuana illegalized, and the innocent bystander is Hemp . Capitalism is not the bad guy here, it's Corporatism! Legalize it !

Cut spending and Live within your means, just like average Americans

Quote of the Day: "History clearly shows the government that stimulates the best, taxes, spends, and intrudes the least. In particular, the lesson from 1945-47 is that a sharp reduction in government spending frees up assets for productive use and leads to renewed growth." - Economists Jason E. Taylor and Richard K. Vedder

On May 31, the House rejected President Obama's request to raise the debt limit with no spending cuts. In addition to every Republican, 46% of Democrats opposed this bill.
* This demonstrates the power of polls, which shows even a substantial percentage of Democrats oppose raising the debt ceiling       
* But it also demonstrate the power of your RELENTLESS PRESSURE on Congress
More and more Democrats realize the U.S. is on an unsustainable path and that reforms must be implemented NOW instead of putting them off any longer.

T.S.A. and the D.o.J must be put on their way OUT! of Texas and the U.S.

Quote of the Day: "It was bad enough when the TSA agents would go through your underwear in your luggage. Now they're going through your underwear while you're wearing it." –Jay Leno

The Texas House unanimously passed a bill holding Transportation Security Agency (TSA) agents accountable for touching people's private parts without probable cause. In response, the Department of Justice threatened to ground flights in Texas. DoJ's threat caused the bill to die in the Texas Senate.
It's possible the bill will be revived in a special legislative session. While we support the purposes of this bill, we believe the best solution is for Congress to just get rid of the TSA altogether.
That's why I sent the following letter to my Representative and Senators. We encourage you to send a letter as well, and you may borrow from or copy this .
