Notable Quote – Prof. Walter Williams: Socialism is EVIL

December 28, 2020 Skip

Emphasis mine: This is why socialism is evil. It employs evil means, confiscation and intimidation, to accomplish what are often seen as noble goals — namely, helping one’s fellow man. Helping one’s fellow man in need by reaching into one’s own pockets to do so is laudable and praiseworthy. Helping one’s fellow man through coercion … Read more

The Tools of Submission

December 21, 2020 Percy Blakeney

It is one thing if we are told you have to give up your liberty and freedom and return, we’re going to save your life. But that is not what is being said. You have to give up all your freedoms and they’re wrong on the science.

Notable Quote – Taking a knee or going out on Principle?

December 18, 2020 Skip

As far as I’m concerned it would be better to die of Covid as a free man than to be forced to cower safely in tyranny. Scott Culver’s on this Cafe Hayek post. That be “Give me Liberty or give me death“. How many Americans even know that anymore? And of that number, how many BELIEVE … Read more

Going Maskless is a Political Cult – As If Mandating Them Isn’t?

December 13, 2020December 7, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We call them maskholes for forcing us to wear them, and they call us lots of things. Bigots, racists, white supremacists, and now well, going maskless is a political cult. If it’s in the same way property rights, free speech, self-defense, and individual liberty is, I agree.

What Does Your America Stand For?

November 25, 2020

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because the law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.” – Thomas Jefferson

I Write to Share With You a Joy That I Experience as an American.

November 15, 2020 Op-Ed

God bless you, patriotic Americans! If you have read more than one of my letters over the past several months you have heard me sounding the alarm to protect our God-given unalienable Rights and our Constitutional Republic.

Notable Quote – You Can’t Understand a Person if Your Only Lens Is Critical Race Theory

October 20, 2020 Skip

If you only see people as part of a particular kind of crowd, you can never get to know them as a person. Critical Race Theory has nothing to do with Individuals – it is only about how to move power, using the guise of race, from one set of people to another.

Jury Duty – determining Innocence/Guilt – or is it about Liberties?

October 15, 2020 Skip

As I was (FINALLY!) selected to be a part of a Jury pool, I’m going through the slow process of going from “selected” to “acceptable”. That entailed, because of COVID-19, an online survey of 50 questions, then a virtual “hearing” in which the prosecutor and then the defending lawyers had the chance to question me … Read more

If it’s Indigenous Day and You Were Born Here, Celebrate Yourself! – You’re Indigenous Too!

October 12, 2020October 12, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Another Columbus day, and you know what this means? Another round of Anti-Colonialist vs. Indigenous people’s day banter. And as usual, I am here to gum up the works. Put the monkey in the wrench. Sabotage the narrative.

Gov. Kirsti Noem – Leaders Need to “Know Their Place” and Not “Overstep Their Authority”

October 7, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Our prognostication has long since come to pass. Public Health truly is just another mule for tyranny. And those beasts of burden have names in both political parties, though most are Democrats—people who have no intention of allowing anything to interfere with this exercise of power.

The New Litmus Test for Liberty: Individual Rights Persist in Spite of a State of Emergency

September 30, 2020 Op-Ed

Individual rights are to Popular Sovereignty, as State’s rights are to Federalism; integral and unalienable! Our Federal form of government, a dual sovereignty style of governance, balances States’ rights and National authority in an institutional model that reflects the primordial political relationship between the minority (i.e. individual rights) and the majority (i.e. popular sovereignty).

People of Color: Shop in Nashua Without a Mask – Just to See What Happens

September 24, 2020 Auntie Vaquser

The Benevolent Despots in the People’s Republic of Nashua (New Hampshire) have passed a decree. Shop Keepers shall not serve unmasked patrons. Somewhere in the small print, I’d expect to see some text directing children to rat out their parents to the Gestapo.

Blogline of the Day – nice turn of phrase

September 21, 2020September 21, 2020 Skip

From Facebook, on Doris’s post “In Emergency Order #69, Sununu Packs the Public Health Ethics Committee” is this from Mary Anderson: 2020: Flu d’etat to Coup d’etat Too often, it does feel this way in that too many “people in charge” have seen a lifting of regular Constitutional Republic norms (e.g., “stay Constitutional”) and a … Read more

Liberty is freedom from Government - Von Mises

Notable Quote – Liberty?

September 21, 2020September 21, 2020 Skip

How can liberty be anything other than negative? Liberty is the absence of external control. Only in our age of collective thinking and untidy language could such a thing as “positive liberty” be conceived. The state power to coerce is not liberty. -Bruce Walker (Negative Liberties and Obama Newspeak) Because Socialists never talk about that in … Read more

Vermont Turns its Own People Against Liberty

September 6, 2020 Auntie Vaquser

Liberty is much rarer than life, but Vermont has successfully turned some of its people against it. The State’s health department (peace be upon them) received 194 complaints about COVID19 violations of the State’s Emergency Orders.

A Small Victory for Liberty

August 28, 2020 Norm Silber

In an opinion released this morning, the NH Supreme Court reversed an order of the Superior Court that had dismissed a suit brought against the Speaker of the NH House challenging the adoption of a rule that prohibited members of the House from carrying or possessing weapons anywhere in the Statehouse. The putative basis for … Read more

The American Left Wants You to Accept That life without Liberty is Worth Living

August 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The American Left is pushing hard for a universal acceptance of a simple concept. That life without liberty is worth living. That we should burn down the Constitutional Republic (it’s a classist, white supremacist, racist, colonialist construct anyway) so people can feel safe, note, that I did not say, “be safe.”

The Story of the Liberty Gene

August 22, 2020 Amil Imani

“I am almost finished making you, except for inserting one last gene,” says God to man. “Yes Lord, can’t wait to get on my way,” replies man. “Now, since I like you, I will give you a choice in this very important last component.

Will You Take Back Your Country or Give it Over to the COVID Coup?

August 22, 2020August 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Angelo Codevilla has a great piece over at Real Clear Politics. His thesis is one with which we agree, and have shared repeatedly – in our own words – over recent months. “[T]he ruling class took this opportunity (COVID19) to extort the general public’s compliance with its agendas.”

That’s no Excuse, and the Racialized Marxists are Here to Fix It

September 25, 2020August 17, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Would it surprise to know that the vegan world is rife with systemic racism? It might surprise you more to discover you cared, but you should for reasons I’ll explain. It’s all connected.
