Do they think if we destroy our freedoms for the terrorists they will no longer have a reason to attack us?

I do not have much confidence in the political system and never did. My goal has always been to change people's minds because as long as people demand more government, they will get it.

We get our rights from our Creator as individuals. So every individual should be treated the same way.

But whether the resistance against government tyrants is non-violent or physically violent, the effort to overthrow state oppression qualifies as true patriotism.

There is no such thing as a hate crime.

Get rid of IRS; get rid of income tax; get rid of spending.

The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe-straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment toward us.
