"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
--Thomas Jefferson

All you have to do is produce evidence of the racists insults alleged to have been used in DC on 3/20/10. Andrew Breitbart has pledged to pay $10,000 for it.

Monday, February 22, 2010 CPAC 2010: Why Real Conservatives Are Against the War on Terrorism (1 comments)
Is America's current "War on Terror" essential to keeping our nation safe? Or is it yet another vehicle for the federal government to increase its power over our lives and take away our liberties?

Thursday, February 18, 2010 Frightening Voters into Submission by James Bovard
We now have the Battered Citizen Syndrome: the more debacles, the more voters cling to faith in their rulers. Like a train engineer bonding with the survivors of a train wreck that happened on his watch, Bush constantly reminded Americans of 9/11 and his wars. The greater the government's failure to protect, the greater the subsequent mass fear -- and the easier it becomes to subjugate the populace.

In Fear the Boom and Bust, John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek, two of the great economists of the 20th century, come back to life to attend an economics conference on the economic crisis. Before the conference begins, and at the insistence of Lord Keynes, they go out for a night on the town and sing about why there's a "boom and bust" cycle in modern economies and good reason to fear it.

Saturday, January 23, 2010 Ron Paul's State of the Republic Address (1 comments)
"This impending crisis comes as a consequence of our flawed foreign and domestic economic policies, a silly notion about money, ignorance about Central Banking, ignoring the onerous power and mischief of our out-of-control intelligence agencies, our unsustainable welfare state, and a willingness to sacrifice privacy and civil liberties in an attempt to achieve safety and security from an inept government. Dangerous times indeed!"

These pieces of model legislation provide opportunities for individual municipalities to do what the federal government has not: protect the liberty and privacy of law-abiding Americans, and hold government officials responsible for authorizing or committing torture.
