Freedom entails the legalization of drugs, all of them, not a smaller DEA and fewer drug laws.

Freedom entails the abolition, not the "privatization" of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all socialist welfare-state programs, not their reform or refinement.

Freedom entails the right to keep everything you earn and decide for yourself what to do it. Freedom isn't a smaller welfare state or a smaller income tax. Freedom is the dismantling of the welfare state and the income tax that funds it.

Freedom isn't a smaller Federal Reserve System. Freedom is ending the Fed and establishing a free-market monetary system.

I say: Let's leave the empty mantras to Republicans and conservatives. Let them keep calling for "small government." Let us libertarians continue raising people's vision to what what government should be doing and not doing. Let us libertarians continue advocating liberty, not smaller tyranny.
