And yet even among the friends of liberty, many people are deceived into believing that government can make them safe from all harm, provide fairly distributed economic security, and improve individual moral behavior. If the government is granted a monopoly on the use of force to achieve these goals, history shows that power is always abused. Every single time.

We don't have the freedom of speech to talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so we can say some very controversial things.

Why is it is claimed that if people won't or can't take care of their own needs, that people in government can do it for them?

Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away...whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism...or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay...The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so.

The freedom message brings us together, it doesn't divide us.

I'm all for raw milk. I think you should make your own choice on whether you drink raw milk or not.

There is no such thing as a hate crime.
