Sipping Liberty

No more running down the wrong road
Dancing to a different drum
Can't you see what's going on
Deep inside your heart?
--Michael McDonald

By the day, more people are waking up. From a long slumber, they are opening their eyes and seeing that the gift of freedom is theirs by right. It is not a privilege handed down by discretionary rule.

Liberty is endowed by our Creator. It is a condition of humanity.

This worries the Establishment to no end. The few in Washington that have picked up Liberty's torch are acting boldly--in the sense that actions aimed at limiting the role of government have been so rare on Capitol Hill as to appear alien. So much so that Statists associate actions to restrain our out-of-control federal government with anarchy.

Increasingly, however, Americans aren't drinking this rhetorical kool aid. Instead, they are sipping liberty.

There is no greater threat to the State than a people awakening to freedom.

In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous.
