Are you free?

I want us to stop thinking that government gives us our rights. If they give us rights, they can take them away. Even the constitution does not "give" us rights, it only talks about a few inalienable rights:
 Adjective
Unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor: "inalienable human rights".
 
In other words we have the right to do ANYTHING we want to do as long as it is not already legislated such as murder, etc. No where in the constitution, does it talk about marriage or what size mag you have with that gun, what food you eat, what size drink with that meal, what you do with your property. We have allowed them to think they can tell us what to do. That kind of thinking enslaves you. Change your thinking and remember, the government works for us.

CHANGE YOUR THINKING !!!!

Education in America

Stole the pic from my buddy Craig "We The Libertarians" which I think came from elsewhere!!!  Who knows, libertarians don't much care for copyrights, we freely share.

Craig asked a group of us on facebook to give ideas on how we could change education.  Here is my response.  Realizing that not one size fits all is the first step. There are two ideas I've run across recently that I really like. One is a twist on the homeschooling (which I love) and that is the parents that have room and patience to take on more than just their own children can contract with other parents in the area that want the benefits of home schooling. Another is from a Harvard professor who is advocating for a return to a community based version of the old school "room", where a much smaller group of children are taught in one room. The older children help the younger and help the teachers which would also be a smaller group. Helps to eliminate the bully aspect so many are subject to, is cheaper than federally funded applications and much easier to adapt to the needs of the children. We certainly do not need the federal department of education as they have spent billions of our tax dollars in addition to the actual costs of the schools and have given zero benefit in return.

A Non-Partisan Salute!

We should all feel proud of our political parties and affiliations this week, regardless of which side of the political spectrum.

Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party people, ACLU, Code Pink and many others all came together to support Senator Rand Paul in his filibuster.

We all recognize a very clear threat to our individual rights represented by lethal drones.

Once we dismiss those people that are all about "the ends justify the means", we can indeed come to agreement on important issues.

Give yourself a pat on the back!

Statis or Anarchist?

Mother Jones gets it right for once!

"Snitch" with Dwayne Johnson is being lawded as the first great effort in ending the war on drugs that has cost this nation so much in the way of money, families destroyed, lives lost both in the law enforcement community, so-called criminals and innocent bystanders.

Mother Jones has a pretty good review of the movie and the story behind it.

Another Media Matters Fail!

Media Matters you would think from their name, would be interested in ALL forms of media misdoings. It's a shame they don't cause there is a LOT of material to be reported from BOTH sides. However, MM sees the below from Fox while ignoring Maddow's little indiscretion.
