Destroying Liberty
By: Walter E. Williams





Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis warned, "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding." The freedom of individuals from compulsion or coercion never was, and is not now, the normal state of human affairs. The normal state for the ordinary person is tyranny, arbitrary control and abuse mainly by their own government. While imperfect in its execution, the founders of our nation sought to make an exception to this ugly part of mankind's history. Unfortunately, at the urging of the American people, we are unwittingly in the process of returning to mankind's normal state of affairs.

Americans demand that Congress spend trillions of dollars on farm subsidies, business bailouts, education subsidies, Social Security, Medicare and prescription drugs and other elements of a welfare state. The problem is that Congress produces nothing. Whatever Congress wishes to give, it has to first take other people's money. Thus, at the root of the welfare state is the immorality of intimidation, threats and coercion backed up with the threat of violence by the agents of the U.S. Congress. In order for Congress to do what some Americans deem as good, it must first do evil. It must do that which if done privately would mean a jail sentence; namely, take the property of one American to give to another.

According to a Washington Post article (6/22/05), there were nearly 35,000 highly paid registered lobbyists in Washington in 2004 who spent $2.1 billion lobbying the White House, Congress and various agencies on behalf of various interest groups. Political action committees, private donors and companies give billions of dollars to political campaigns. My question to you: Do you think that these people are spending billions of dollars to assist presidents and congressmen to better perform their sworn oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution? If you do, you're a fine candidate for a straitjacket. For the most part, the money is being spent to get politicians and government officials to use their coercive power to create a favor or special privilege for one American at the expense of some other American.

If we Americans didn't give Washington such enormous control over our lives, I doubt whether there would be 10 percent of the money currently spent on lobbying and campaign contributions. This enormous control that Congress has over our lives also goes a long way toward explaining much of the government corruption that we see in Washington.

If the average American were asked whether he wishes to return to mankind's normal state of affairs featured by arbitrary abuse, control and government dictates, I am sure he would find such a suggestion repulsive. But if you were to ask, say, the average senior citizen whether Social Security, Medicare and prescription drug subsidies should be continued, he would probably answer yes. The same would be true if you asked a college professor whether higher education should continue to be subsidized, or a farmer or a dairyman whether their products should be subsidized, or a manufacturer whether there should be tariffs and quotas on foreign products that compete with his product. The problem with congressmen producing favors and privileges to all interest groups is that it creates what none of us wants: massive control, numerous dictates and micromanagement of our lives.

There is no question that if one were to ask whether we Americans are moving towards more liberty or more government control over our lives, the answer would unambiguously be the latter -- more government control over our lives. We might have reached a point where the trend is irreversible and that is a true tragedy for if liberty is lost in America, it will be lost for all times and all places.

The SNL Palin-Biden debate. Wow this is funny. I'm a republican but can't deny this is some funny $hit.

[Dan and Christy]

This is Good

Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico .
This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the federal government.
However, what you may not know, that in the month of March, 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day, George W. Bush, Karl Rove, **** Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condaleeza Rice, and Dan Quayle were all born.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? This piece of information will help clear up a lot of things.

Subject: Britain reports on Palin

From FERGUS SHANAHAN in St Paul, Minnesota Published: 05 Sep 2008

WHY, why, why can't WE have a Sarah Palin?

That was the question churning in my mind as I witnessed
this astonishing American presidential race.

A week ago few in Britain had heard of Palin.

Today, the moose-huntin' mom is the most talked-about
woman in the world.

And with good reason.

Her sensational performance at the Republican convention
may turn out to be the moment the White House slipped from
Barack Obama's grasp.

She was an electrifying mix of passion, energy, optimism
and plain speaking. The exact opposite of the slippery,
two-faced, depressing bunch of third-raters who parade on
our Westminster stage.

In Palin and the Democrats' Barack Obama, America has
two hugely charismatic people offering distinctly different
roads.

Democrats and their Lefty media backers had been sneering
that Palin is a small-town nobody, a hick from Alaska put
into a job way beyond an inexperienced woman.

Believe me, you will not be hearing that again.

Full of self-assurance and aggression, super Sarah popped
Barack's balloon big-time. From the moment she walked on
stage in this cavernous bear pit, smart in cream jacket,
trim black skirt and black heels, she proved that McCain
knew exactly what he was doing when he picked her as running
mate.

The first thought was that here was America's youthful
Maggie Thatcher, minus the swinging handbag. Hair piled into
a slight beehive - more Sarah White House than Amy Winehouse
she blinked and smile d behind her geeky specs as the vast
crowd went ballistic.

She is popular with voters for the very reason
America's snooty political establishment despises her:
She isn't one of the Washington gang.

She's a mum of five from icy Alaska with a sledge-load
of problems behind her own front door that workaday
Americans can relate to. A child with special needs. A
daughter of 17 pregnant. A constant juggle between family
and career. Compared to the career politicians dominating
both parties here she seemed fresh, natural - one of us and
not one of them.

She revelled in being an outsider. She spoke to America as
one working mum to another. She cracked good jokes. Showing
steel beneath her magnolia jacket, she slaughtered
Obama's lack of experience, his vanity, his emptiness
beneath the windy waffle. & nbsp;

It was the most powerful demolition of the Democrat hero I
have heard in two weeks on the US election trail.

The wagons have been drawn up and the Republicans are ready
for battle.

The McCain-Palin ticket now looks in exciting shape. A war
hero and a heroic mum. Experience and optimism.

And when McCain joined the Palin gang - babies and
boyfriends and all - on stage after her speech, there was a
sense of cheeky fun absent from Obama's solemn
coronation.

How the Democrats must be regretting Hillary isn't
running with Obama. Barack's sidekick, Joe Biden, looks
a dull old dog compared with the ball of fire that is Palin.

And consider this: If Obama loses, Hillary Clinton will run
for the Democrats in 2012. Opposing her is sure to be Sarah
Palin. That would guarantee America its first woman< BR>&nb sp;President.

And my fistful of dollars, having seen both in action here,
would be on Palin.

Most of all, though, the Palin sensation makes our own
Westminster politics look as grey and dull as the leaden

September skies. It's dire.


We need a moose loose in our Hoose.
