** TERM LIMITS **

So true.. We just need wisdom, fortitude and discipline: WISDOM to recognize the nature of our blessings; FORTITUDE for the will to act on behalf of those principles; and the DISCIPLINE to adhere to them through good and bad.

my friends and i honestly have come to the conclusion that Nancy Pelosi is a robot

only problem is that both parties lock horns and it is a race to see who can pander and promise the most. of course.. they are doing so with our tax dollars and at the expense of our STATE and INDIVIDUAL rights. we need another party explicitly committed to fighting against this.

Got Capitalism?

As a child, I remember looking out at night upon the vast expanse of my city’s lights and feeling humbled by the wonder of human ambition (although I would not have articulated it as such at that time). In fact, I wasn’t quite sure what this feeling was at that time... I just knew that it felt right. As I have grown older and acquired greater knowledge and insight, I have come to understand why I felt that way. It was not because I was enamored by shiny lights, or impressed by ingenuity, or even simply taken by the splendor of it all (although this is all true). No, the comfort that I felt looking out upon those city lights was in my connection to an intuitive, human understanding—the understanding that what I was seeing was the result of human liberty.
Why is it so difficult for us to understand the origins of our prosperity? We did not create more wealth, freedom, and technological progress than any nation in history—all over the course of 200 years—simply by chance. The mountain of cultural and economic prosperity upon which we reside is the direct result of the most significant historical occurrence in human history, or: America’s vindication of individual liberty.
Until America, human individuals had historically been, to a greater or lesser extent, subject to the whims of their leaders (kings, fiefs, czars, and.. chiefs). Our founding fathers did something that no other people had been able to do... They drew a firm “line in the sand” between government and the people; between the public and private domains; between society and the individual. In other words, our founding fathers secured the sovereignty of the individual. They did so with the Constitution. This event should be called the individual revolution because it did more to advance the cause of human liberty than any event in human history; and with all of the historical forces acting against individual liberty, it is hard not to think that this event was somehow divinely ordained.
Over the past 230 years we have reaped the benefits of our commitment to this concept of individual sovereignty, but it now seems—and this weighs heavy on my American heart—that we are racing to dismantle the very principles upon which the greatness of this nation was built.
With every tax dollar spent; with every bureaucrat employed; with every law signed; and with every government agency born, I can feel the weight of government control grow heavy as it stifles the vibrancy of the private domain. It is ominous. It is foreboding. It is burdensome.
This movement has given me hope and I pray that we will stand up and create ANOTHER individual revolution. The freedom of our posterity depends upon it.

at what point did we decide that the voluntary exchange of goods and services between free human beings was the source of human suffering and destitution? i think ronald reagan put it best when he described the modern statist as he who "cant see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one."
