People love theft

It shouldn't even be a crime anymore. We have reached a point in our society in which we (as a population) have developed such a disgusting sense of entitlement that we condone theft at the highest levels and in the most base form. Liberty is a buzz word for most that has no meaning at all.

Sacrifice is the highest virtue now. Give and never earn. Take because that is your "right." The whole nation owes you everything, particularly if you have no desire to earn it.

Vote in accordance with your conscience and your entitlements. I am certain that you will get everything that you deserve.

For those mental giants out there that can't do anything unless the Bible tells them so, how about this - "Thou shalt not steal."

Thanks for watching - this concludes the rant

"If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. [...] [We are]dedicated to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties.".
-Dr. Ron Paul

Viva la Revolucion!

"In my opinion, the main evil of the present democratic institutions of the United States does not arise, as is often asserted in Europe, from their weakness, but from their irresistible strength. I am not so much alarmed at the excessive liberty which reigns in that country as at the inadequate securities which one finds there against tyranny. an individual or a party is wronged in the United States, to whom can he apply for redress? If to public opinion, public opinion constitutes the majority; if to the legislature, it represents the majority and implicitly obeys it; if to the executive power, it is appointed by the majority and serves as a passive tool in its hands. The public force consists of the majority under arms; the jury is the majority invested with the right of hearing judicial cases; and in certain states even the judges are elected by the majority. However iniquitous or absurd the measure of which you complain, you must submit to it as well as you can. [...] I do not say that there is a frequent use of tyranny in America at the present day; but I maintain that there is no sure barrier against it, and that the causes which mitigate the government there are to be found in the circumstances and the manners of the country more than in its laws."
Alexis de Tocqueville
Democracy in America, Ch. 15

My brethren, the ugliest and most dangerous tyrant in the history of mankind is raising his ugly head - his name is "ignorant majority". Where are we to turn for redress?

The modern motto seems to be: have it, make sure you are known to have it, and get it by whatever means. Right or wrong can't be allowed to get in the way.

That is gloomy Brother. I am not disagreeing, I just think that it is gloomy and all too true.

Brother Tony, it appears that Congressman Paul has gotten your attention. Good. Don't stop there. There are some vitally important measures coming up in Michigan. No, I am not running for office - yet - though I would make a great drain inspector.

The Fair Tax Proposal is still alive and kicking. Medical Marijuana is up for November. Those are a couple of reasons to go to the polls.

The thieves and looters, and those who live by that philosophy, have used the system to make their way and justify their actions. We should use the system to take it back.

Shall we slay Robin Hood? Goodbye Big Brother, hello Mother.

Hmmmm, that's an interesting view Brandt.

I don't think i need to comment more than that...considering the wake you left in Grand Rapids.

I suppose it's a good thing that I'm not too bitter at you anymore...otherwise I'd be tempted to comment further...

Of course, I realize that you would never post this...
