Warning: This is a very graphic video of a 17 year old cyclist being run over by a police car. The car's driver demonstrates his thoughts regarding non-cop humanity.
"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association -- the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." -- Thomas Jefferson

I'm speechless, and believe me, it's better that way. -- Wilton Dale Alston
Why don't most politicians understand that they can't borrow their way out of debt?
Why don't they see that the federal government can't spend itself solvent?
Why don't most politicians realize they can't tax Americans into prosperity?
Why don't they grasp that government "stimulus spending" does NOT create private sector jobs?
Why don't politicians get that "closing tax loopholes," "eliminating tax deductions," and "allowing temporary tax cuts to end" -- all raise taxes?
Why don't they catch on that increasing government debt and taxes and spending does NOT create or grow small businesses?
Why don't they get it?
I have several hypotheses. But I don't know.
What's more, I don't need to know why.
Because it doesn't really matter. Not to me. Not to you.
Why?
Because all I need to know it that they don't get it.
If they were capable of getting it, they would have gotten it by now.
Why don't YOU AND I get that they don't get it?
And stop wasting our time and energy talking with them.
Why not talk with, campaign for, donate to, and vote for only those candidates who DO get it? Those who vote that way. Every issue. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses.
Why not talk with people who have not seen or heard or thought about these things?
Why not talk with people who are open-minded, receptive, and responsive to evidence and argument?
there are 3 types of people in this world:
1.people that want to controlthese people believe that thier ideas should be followed volintarily or by force.
2.people that want to be controlledunfortunately they will never admit this, but will agree with anyone in a suit (or robe) that speaks slowly and eliquently.
3.people that dont want to control or be controlledthese people want to live life with 100% freedom and responsibilty. unfortunately they often get tired explaining this philosophy to group 2. hence, group 1 maintains control.
the moral kids, is this, as long as group 1&2 is > group 3, this world will stay fucked.
pretty sure thats all mine. but if someone else said it. give them credit just to be safe.

[Teacher's] unions are in the business of raising pay for public school teachers. And that’s not the same thing as improving education.
I am thoroughly convinced that this administration, while possibly brilliant at winning elections and pandering to special interest groups, as it pertains to economics, is dumber than a box of rocks.

Yesterday evening was my second event with these guys. They have many traditions, one of which is that almost everyone has a nickname such as Pussy Galore, Stinky Cheese Man or Kindergarten Cunt, names that they proudly wear. At one beer check I was approached by a woman (I was strategically standing midway between the cold beer and the satisfied empties.).
What's your name?
'That Damn Libertarian' but you can call me Tim.
How did you get that nickname?
Gave it to myself. It started with my motorcycle group.
[shocked]You can't nickname yourself.
Yes, I can nickname myself. I did ..... because I'm ... That Damn Libertarian.
[angry]I get it - Libertarian ... you won't do as your told. [she walks away]
We all know that to truly affect change in America today, it's undeniable that we have to rescue our Youth from the propoganda that they're being force fed through our culture, the media and their schools.
Now, I'm aware that many of you Tea Partiers are High School Teachers, Staff, Administrators that love our country and want to see it return back to it's Founding Principles. I'm calling on YOU to step forward. You are integral in this initiative. We're starting Tea Party Clubs in High Schools across America.
I need High School Teachers, Staff, Administrators to take the lead in starting a Tea Party Club in YOUR High School. Because rules and requirements are different in each school, I need you to help us setup a Tea Party Club. This request is more of an Administrative request than running a Tea Party Club. It would be great if you want to be involved ongoing with the group but if you can't, that's fine.
This group will be an opportunity for America's Youth to discuss issues that are affecting their future and what they can do to make their young voices heard.
If you are a High School Teacher, Staff or Administrator, please reply back to this message. I will be providing more information once we identify our group. When you reply, please list your name, school name and ISD.
If you have an email list that you can forward this message, please do. I'd like to have Tea Party Clubs spread across America this Fall!!
Let's do it One School at a Time!
When will they learn ?

"I also do not want a mosque near Ground Zero but the question I must ask myself is 'What am I willing to do to stop this from happening?' " -- Tim Lebsack
Basic Flying Rule: Stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more
difficult to fly there.

"A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs." -- Epicurus
"Freedom is not only the absence of external restraints. It is also the absence of irresistible internal compulsions, unmanageable passion, and uncensorable highlights."
-- George Will
"O freedom, first delight of human kind!" -- John Dryden
Government is a net wealth consumer. Most of the wealth possessed by "the wealthy" lies in productive investments. Transferring wealth from the latter to the former makes us all poorer by promoting consumption over productivity. --

Open at random any book on philosophy, politics, or history, and you will probably see how deeply rooted in our country is this idea — the child of classical studies, the mother of socialism. In all of them, you will probably find this idea that mankind is merely inert matter, receiving life, organization, morality, and prosperity from the power of the state. And even worse, it will be stated that mankind tends toward degeneration, and is stopped from this downward course only by the mysterious hand of the legislator. Conventional classical thought everywhere says that behind passive society there is a concealed power called law or legislator (or called by some other terminology that designates some unnamed person or persons of undisputed influence and authority) which moves, controls, benefits, and improves mankind. -- Frédéric Bastiat
"The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."
"Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence."
"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth;not going all the way, and not starting." -- three quotes from Buddha [Gautama Siddharta] (563 - 483 BC), Hindu Prince, founder of Buddhism
"The liberty of a people consists in being governed by laws which they have made themselves, under whatsoever form it be of government; the liberty of a private man, in being master of his own time and actions, as far as may consist with the laws of God and of his country." -- Abraham Cowley
"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty; one must not conceal
any part of what one has recognized to be true." -- Albert Einstein
"Liberty, without wisdom, is license." -- Edmund Burke

Your judgment of me is powerless to punish or otherwise belittle me without my own mistaken belief that you are the keeper of all things valuable! -- Guy Finley
