Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals.

The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions

Income taxes are responsible for the transformation of the Federal government from one of limited powers into a vast leviathan whose tentacles reach into almost every aspect of American life.

We are talking about an awesome power. It is the power to weave illusions that appear real as long as they last. That is the very core of the Fed's power. Of course not everyone is instinctively against this illusion-weaving power, and many even welcome it. Tragically, the innocent who understand little about the complexity of the monetary system suffer the most, while those who are in the know reap great profit whether the market is going up or down.

What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example.)

When the goal of political action is no longer the defense of liberty, no word other than demagoguery can describe the despicable nature of politics.

We don't need any troops abroad-they don't help our defense.
