When people become frightened, they look for things of real value. They will go to monetary metals, gold and silver, and they will buy other things, such as buying property. But no matter what we have, whether we have our gold coins or we have our property, if we have an authoritarian government, that is our greatest threat. So, I would like to think that there is no perfect protection, other than shrinking the size and scope and power of government, so that we can be left alone and take care of ourselves.

There is but one special interest that we should be working for, and that would solve just about all of our problems, and that is our liberty.

I have a personal belief that you never have to give up liberty for security. You can still provide security without sacrificing our Bill of Rights.

If we are not even free anymore to decide something as basic as what we wish to eat or drink, how much freedom do we really have left?

Quantitative easing is just the latest chapter in the Federal Reserve’s hundred-year history of failure. (...) The American people have suffered long enough under a monetary policy controlled by an unaccountable, secretive central bank. It is time to finally audit - and then end - the Fed.

Privacy IS freedom. Leave us alone!

If you can’t protect life, then how can you protect liberty?
