"A toast...to high treason. That's what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, and--my personal favorite--had their entrails cut out and BURNED! So, here's to the men who did what was considered WRONG, in order to do what they knew was right...what they KNEW was right."
--Benjamin Franklin Gates (National Treasure)

Today, those labelled 'radicals' are not radical at all. Radicals side with big government, and robbing life, liberty, and property from some for the benefit of themselves and their comrades. Nothing radical about that. Seeking to forcibly rule others has been the status quo position since the beginning of social man.
No, the radical idea remains liberty. The natural right to pursue one's interest without forcible intervention from others.

It's as novel now as it was 245 years ago when our founding ancestors prepared to issue the First Law.
Be real radicals. Live free.
