Liberties of the People and Powers of Government

Liberties of the People and Powers of Government

Where do the people’s rights come from? Jefferson said that they come from man’s Creator. In other words, my life was not created by government.


There is no Freedom Without Individual Freedom

There is no Freedom Without Individual Freedom

In America, we have a foundation of law, our Constitution, that allows us to not only resist government’s rising power, but to reduce the power of government without having to resort to revolution. But to do so, man must choose individual freedom and be willing to pay the price required for the preservation, protection and defense of that freedom.


Can Congress Write Any Law it Wants?

Can Congress Write Any Law it Wants?

The whole purpose of the Constitution is, was, and has been to define the government, to impose restraints on the government, and to guarantee personal freedoms.


When, in the Course of Human Events

When, in the Course of Human Events

The history of most recent presidents and legislators of the United States is a history of repeated civil rights violations, constitutional travesties, usurpations of state’s rights…


The War on Drugs is a War on You

The War on Drugs is a War on You

If we are ever going to have a nation that respects the Bill of Rights, of which the Ninth and Tenth Amendments may be the most important, the DEA and the entire drug war must be eliminated.


Guns, Gold, Secession

Guns, Gold, Secession

The only way to get this oppressive tyrant – known as the federal government – off our back is to break away from it and start anew.


Thoughts On Liberty

Thoughts On Liberty

With all the laws our government has passed that restrict our actions, which if you bothered to look, they weren’t authorized to pass, how can anyone honestly say that they are truly free?


Against All Enemies

If we truly want to strengthen freedom and regain what we have already lost, we will pledge ourselves to defending the Constitution. We cannot support our Constitution, however, unless we face the fact that it is being continually ignored and betrayed. It is time that we give some serious thought to the Constitution.


The Liberty Amendment

by Dr. Archie Jones, The American Vision No fundamental provision of the Constitution or the Bill of Rights is more neglected—or thoroughly violated—today than the Tenth Amendment. It is violated in spirit and in practice. Its violation is advocated implicitly and explicitly: in the teaching of American history and government, in legal theory, in what [...]


The Necessity for Action

The danger of being number 10 is that no one really knows who you are. George Washington was our first president; but how many can name number 10 off the top of their head? And Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Everest, but does anyone know who the tenth person was to reach the summit?


Last Chance for Liberty?

by Michael Gaddy, LewRockwell.com While I have not changed my beliefs on the illegal, immoral policies and actions of the state, somehow, in the past few months, I have, in the opinion of some readers, changed political affiliations. When I was writing of the illegal wars of the warfare/welfare state, I was often asked to [...]


Standing up for Liberty

by Ray Bilger The conclusion of my last article read, “If there is any hope for America, it lies with We The People taking back our country from the crooks and criminals in Wash., D.C. who are running our country into the ground… There is a new hope for America… and it involves the States [...]


A Few Thoughts On Liberty And Sovereignty

by Neal Ross In 1922, D. H. Lawrence wrote, “Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.” Most of America still is under the belief that we are a free and independent people. They [...]


The Case for Disunion

by Joe Schembrie, LewRockwell.com The Establishment Media is hyping the dire prophecy of a Russian professor that the United States will have a bloody civil war and “disintegrate,” after which the secessionist regions will be absorbed by other nations. The Establishment Media Moral: we must patriotically embrace our federal government or face horrendous consequences. Certainly [...]


Montana Firearms Freedom Act

by Greg Heller, The Holy Cause There is a new bill circulating in Montana’s legislature which has significant implications on several fronts in the battle for liberty, most notably that of States Rights, and the right to bear arms.  The bill can be read here, and is not a long read (freedom is much easier [...]


Is it Possible to Restore Constitutionalism?

by Gary S. Lawson, Heritage Foundation When the Constitution was sent to the states for ratification in 1787, many citizens worried that the new national government proposed by the document was a Leviathan in waiting. During the crucial New York ratification debate, James Madison, writing as Publius, sought to allay these fears in the 45th [...]


The Future of Limited Government

by Jeff Wartman If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all. – Jacob Hornberger. Every four years, voters in the United States are given a choice between two major party candidates in the Presidential election.  We are often told that either of these candidates are the “mainstream” [...]


The Constitution: A Politically-Incorrect Guide

by David Gordon, Mises.org Buy This Book Kevin Gutzman gives his readers much more than they had a right to expect. The “Politically Incorrect Guide” series in which his book appears aims at a popular audience: its goal is to correct commonly held myths of leftist propaganda. Gutzman eminently fulfills this goal, but his book [...]


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 [...]


Where Do We Go From Here?

by Ed Noyes, SuperLiberty.com “If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.” Laurence J. Peter, US educator & writer (1919 – 1988) Where are we going? What is the destiny of America? Who is responsible to save our nation? It seems apparent that at this time in our [...]


The Proper Role of Government

by Ed Noyes, SuperLiberty.com It is amazing how far away we as a nation have strayed from the original vision of the founders with regards to the proper role of government. We have, in fact, devolved 180 degrees from that original purpose. Government was intended to be the protector of the rights of the people. [...]


Freedom is Golden

by Rep Ron Paul As the Olympics wind down, I am amazed at how things change every four years.  Many Americans were glued to their televisions to watch the excitement from Beijing, and also heard announcers wax nostalgic with memories of times when the Soviet Union was the USA’s biggest competitor for Olympic gold. There [...]


The Real Purpose of the Constitution

by Neal Ross Two hundred and forty five years ago a small percentage of citizens stood up against a superior force and declared their independence from the tyranny under which they lived. This revolution for independence spawned men such as Patrick Henry, who declared, “…give me liberty, or give me death.” These were men who [...]


Limit Government, Not Liberty

by Neal Ross “Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.” –Woodrow Wilson Power is something that is often sought. However, [...]
