So disgusted by war…
0Someday we will look back at our insanity and cry; it can’t come soon enough.
Should the neo-cons run third party?
0Judge Napolitano and Chairman of The Ludwig von Mises Institute, Lew Rockwell connect for a great conversation on how Ron Paul is dragging the republican party kicking and screaming back to its roots of free markets, peace and non-intervetionism supported by a powerful yet mightily restrained military.
Could such a revolution of mind and action push the currently dominant neo-conservative faction of the republican party out of power?
Will the war hawks one day have to be the ones considered extreme?

Trade is a greater force for peace than war
0Who’d a thunk that one?! Too crazy to be true right?
Great little 5 min message.
Are you scared?
0Does an all-mighty, all-knowing, all-seeing God fret?
Does He worry?
Is he wondering what the future holds?
Unlikely.
While I’m as guilty as any of “fretting” and babbling about this or that government scandal; peace can be found in our shaking off of these mortal concerns and fleeting desires that we cling to as short-term distractions instead focusing on the True Reality present in a dimension just beyond our sight.
When we do this, our resolute presence becomes an inspiration to those less focused, more worried, and farther from the Divine Peace of God.
Remember, the darker the room, the brighter the lonely match becomes!!
Today’s prayer: “God, take charge of my mind! Make a path for me to go where you want me. Strike a blow to my preconceived notions, remove my fallen mind from the equation and if you desire reveal your True Nature to me.”
The Ten Principles of a Free Society

This is the Appendix to Dr. Paul’s new book, Liberty Defined.
1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.
2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.
3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.
4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.
5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.
6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people’s money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.
7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.
8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.
9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.
10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.
