The news for lovers of "the state" is we can't all afford private security. That's why we love Smith and Wesson more than a meddlesome and controlling bunch of self serving politicians. LOL

The first property you ever own is your own body, your vehicle for life. If you have no right "by law" to defend this precious property then you are obviously some one else's property. As mentioned above...a serf. It follows that you don't really have any other rights at all. None.

An armed society is a polite society. (Heinlein?)

The right to bear arms and defend one's own life and property is not a privelege, it is a right and an obligation. And when the Hillary's and Obama's of the world seek to trample this right they should be ejected from their posts of public representation.

I don't have to look for long at those FEMA Camps to know that something sinister is in store. Very Sinister. You bet it's time for resistance.

We are now the opposite of this quote. We have no right to the fruits of our own labor, no right to property, and are considered to be inventory by the IRS.

Failures of parenting Reston? Ok, to a point...but when our education system is undermining the authority of parents and creating Orwellian little sycophants...just what values are parents supposed to teach? I'll tell you what...They need to teach their children that the only reason they "have to" go to school is because the government will steal them from their parents if they don't. Parents need to teach kids the "reality" of government force, and how completely immoral it is.

Everything the government says is a lie and everything it does is theft. Teach your children well...

Doubleplusgoodspeak. :)

Talk to your children and take an interest in what they are learning, Most of it is pure Bullsh**. Teach them the value and morality of independence from government.

Actually Reston, Blaming Government and the Self Centered and Greedy...are the same thing. With one exception..."because" they are government...they are also criminals.

Actually Joy, I may have misjudged you. Apologies on this occasion. I'll hold my tongue until you go off on a more statist rant as you do from time to time.

Oh Joy...you and you're pro-statist blame game are so very obvious and boring. You're a communist, we get it. How much do they pay you to shill for statism? Or is it just part of your welfare package?

Mises is spot on. The Liberal philosophjy has been thoroughly hijacked by Communists and One Worlder's.

"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." ~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild. (who was born Meyer Amschel Bauer...the Thief of Hanau)

There is no problem, no calamity that can not be laid squarely at the feet of an interfering government.

Personal Freedom and Individual Responsibility under a System of Justice is the most natural and prosperous form of living one can expect. But for you Socialists I have a different message....Mmmmmoooooooo :)

To Clarify...5 parties would be sufficient to freeze government. It certainly has in S. Africa where they have 8 or 9 and as many official languages. I'd be for anything that shuts down the encroachment of a controlling government into every aspect of our lives.

RBE...What you describe might be described as a "Republic" ;)

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who can think for himself. They're completely safe from the Waffler's of the World.

Mike, our entire system is so corrupt as to be beyond salvage. We need to clean house entirely.

Bureaucracies are generally made up of faceless unnaccountable slugs who care not at all for the people they are supposedly there to serve. They they are protected by unions / government and a system that let's them hide behind closed doors. And for the most part they are unnecessary wastes of money and skin.

Fair enough Mike.

Twain is great fun.~ "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." ~ Mark Twain

An exact parallel to American, Canadian, British, Australian and New Zealand Governments. (And a few more I'm sure) The Right of Property enshrined in a system of justice would right a very many wrongs. If you have no right to property in law...then you have no rights over your own body...which is your very first piece of property.
