      Updated Guest Editorial | On Tuesday’s Glenn Beck Show, a discouraging statistic was shown. In 1999, all government spending as a portion of our national GNP was 33%. In 2009, that number stands at 39%. An astonishing number when you consider that the United States produces over $14 trillion in goods and services annually.  If that [...]

  • CANNOT HALF-HEARTEDLY SUPPORT CONSTITUTION

    I am not partly for the Constitution, and partly against it; I am wholly for it. I disdain the character of an uncommitted man. I am committed, fully committed to the constitution. And i am committed against everything which, in my judgment, may weaken, endanger, or destroy it. And especially against all extension of executive power; and any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the power and the patronage of the government itself. --- Daniel Webster

  • Liberty Requires Property

    The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist. ---John Adams

      I just recently listened again to a talk on the FEE podcast entitled “Self-Governance.” As I was listening the speaker, who is a self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist, gave Somalia as an example of how anarchy can sometimes be a better option than government. He described a graph where one axis is some “best-to-worst” scale of both optio […]

  • First Duty of Citizens

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens, and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. ---James Madison

Freedom through Physical Exercise

Posted on July 3, 2009 by selfevident1

Tonight, though much is on my mind regarding freedoms and personal excellence, the thought of running occupies my mind the most. Tomorrow, for Independence Day, I will begin the day by participating in our local Freedom Run, a 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) race. I am nervous for this race because I am just getting myself [...]
