About Me

Homeland stupidity threat:

..
I'm interested in achieving Liberty in America.
Take the Quiz and find out where YOU stand!
If you describe yourself as socially tolerant and fiscally responsible, you're a Libertarian!
We believe you—not the government—should decide how to run your life, checkbook, retirement, education and family.

The (L) isn't for Liberal!!!

Preamble
As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives, and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.
We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.
Consequently, we defend each person's right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power.
In the following pages we have set forth our basic principles and enumerated various policy stands derived from those principles.
These specific policies are not our goal, however. Our goal is nothing more nor less than a world set free in our lifetime, and it is to this end that we take these stands.

“No LEGISLATION without representation.”


We hold this truth to be self-evident, that those in Congress who vote on legislation they have not read, have not represented their constituents. They have misrepresented them.
And since Congress has repeatedly committed “legislation without representation,” strong measures to prohibit these Congressional misrepresentations are both justified and required.
To this end we have created the “Read the Bills Act (RTBA).” RTBA requires that . . .
* Each bill, and every amendment, must be read in its entirety before a quorum in both the House and Senate.
* Every member of the House and Senate must sign a sworn affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that he or she has attentively either personally read, or heard read, the complete bill to be voted on.
* Every old law coming up for renewal under the sunset provisions must also be read according to the same rules that apply to new bills.
* Every bill to be voted on must be published on the Internet at least 7 days before a vote, and Congress must give public notice of the date when a vote will be held on that bill.
* Passage of a bill that does not abide by these provisions will render the measure null and void, and establish grounds for the law to be challenged in court.
* Congress cannot waive these requirements
What RTBA does and why
Most Congressmen are lawyers, and many others are businessmen. They know what “fiduciary responsibility” is. For Members of Congress, fiduciary responsibility means reading each word of every bill before they vote.
But Congress has not met this duty for a long time. Instead . . .
* They carelessly pass mammoth bills that none of them have read. Sometimes printed copies aren't even available when they vote!
* Often no one knows what these bills contain, or what they really do, or what they will really cost.
* Additions and deletions are made at the last minute, in secrecy.
* They combine unpopular proposals with popular measures that few in Congress want to oppose. (This practice is called “log-rolling.”)
* And votes are held with little debate or public notice.
* Oh, and once these bills are passed, and one of these unpopular proposals comes to light, they pretend to be shocked. “How did that get in there?” they say.
There's a basic principle at stake here. America was founded on the slogan, “No taxation without representation.” A similar slogan applies to this situation:

NO LEGISLATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION


Help Pass Read The Bills Act and end Legislation Without Representation!

Are you a Libertarian?



We know that can be a tough question as you may have heard many different definitions of the word "libertarian" or maybe you met a few people who identify themselves as such.

Let's see what Webster's has to say about it:

Pronunciation: "li-b&r-'ter-E-&n
Function: noun
1 : an advocate of the doctrine of free will
2 a : a person who upholds the principles of absolute and unrestricted liberty especially of thought and action b capitalized : a member of a political party advocating libertarian principles

While many may quibble with the definition, we think it's close enough.

Simply put, if you believe that you are responsible for yourself and your family, and not the government, then you belong with us.

War on drugs put money in terrorists wallets The British leftist newspaper "News Statesman" notice how contra productive the war against drugs is. The failed politics against opium in Afghanistan forces the opium farmers and thus the profits into the hands of Al-Qaida. Shortly, by having a war against drugs, the US is financing its enemies in the war on terrorism.A perfect way of throwing away tax money. Why don't just give Al-Qaida a fixed share of the income tax?
