I found that I was getting a warm reception for my message of freeing you from the income tax, releasing you from Social Security, ending the insane war on drugs, restoring gun rights, and reducing the federal government to just its constitutional functions.

It is well known that in war, the first casualty is truth - that during any war truth is forsaken for propaganda.

So what is government?... Very simply, it is an agency of coercion. Of course, there are other agencies of coercion - such as the Mafia. So to be more precise, government is the agency of coercion that has flags in front of its offices.

Once we realize that government doesn't work, we will stop dreaming that this or that social problem can be solved by passing a law - or by creating a new government program - or by electing someone who will make Washington more efficient or cost-conscious.

When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.

When paper money systems begin to crack at the seams, the run to gold could be explosive.

I have no temptation to vote, to campaign, to try and stop a candidate who promises new follies.
