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.

Because gold is honest money it is disliked by dishonest men.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Libertarians are incapable of being a racist, because racism is a collectivist idea.

Without question, the true goal of some in Congress is to create a system of socialized medicine. It's politically expedient to slap a "patients’ rights" label on legislation that simply leads us closer to a complete government takeover of medicine.

Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution says Congress has the ability to coin money and regulate the currency and doesn't say anything about gold or silver.

Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.
