"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." -John Adams


Welcome to Patriot's Lament. We strive here to educate ourselves on Liberty. We will not worry ourselves so much with the daily antics of American politics, and drown ourselves in the murky waters of the political right or left.
Instead, we will look to the Intellectuals and Champions of Liberty, and draw on their wisdom of what it is to be a truly free people. We will learn from where our Providential Liberties are derived, and put the proper perspective of a Free Individual and the State.
Please join us!

Lew Rockwell on withdrawing consent from the government

The ostensible supporters of the Constitution, like the ostensible supporters of most other governments, are made up of three classes, viz.: 1. Knaves, a numerous and active class, who see in the government an instrument which they can use for their own aggrandizement or wealth. 2. Dupes – a large class, no doubt – each of whom, because he is allowed one voice out of millions in deciding what he may do with his own person and his own property, and because he is permitted to have the same voice in robbing, enslaving, and murdering others, that others have in robbing, enslaving, and murdering himself, is stupid enough to imagine that he is a "free man," a "sovereign"; that this is a "free government"; "a government of equal rights," "the best government on earth," and such like absurdities. 3. A class who have some appreciation of the evils of government, but either do not see how to get rid of them, or do not choose to so far sacrifice their private interests as to give themselves seriously and earnestly to the work of making a change.  Lysander Spooner

A Viper Lived in Johnny's House

A viper lived in Johnny's house, so
all in the family understood
that they must watch their steps although
the snake had not struck — they knew it could....

Voting Is Violence

From Rev. Emmanuel Charles McCarthy on Lew Rockwell.

Once one has the office, and is vested in the myth and the mystique and the moral validation that go with it, he or she cannot only torment, torture and kill other people, he or she can make the laws that validate the agony and slaughter he or she is pouring down on others. Hitler did nothing illegal, which is why U.S., England, France and Russia had to create the trumped-up ex post facto law – so called crimes against humanity – to convict and kill Hitler’s cabinet and military officers. Hitler saw to it that everything he did was legal by simply creating the laws he needed to legalize what he wanted to do. A contemporary local example of this process would be the Patriot Act in the United States.
President William Clinton kills 400,000 children under twelve years of age in Iraq, his Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, says on national television that this most grotesque form of child abuse "was worth it." Yet, neither one is in prison nor in the electric chair. Why?
No one is born with the right to kill 400,000 children. Yet, President Clinton, and to a lesser extent King Herod, killed children with abandon. From whence comes their right to do this. Clinton’s right to kill children came from being elected President. Herod’s right came from his being the son of a King. That is it! Human beings endowing human beings with the right to kill human beings is what the divine right of kings, drawing straws or elections are all about. If either Obama or Romney were not going to be endowed, if elected President, with the same right to use violence against their fellow human beings that Clinton and Herod had would anyone beyond their family, friends and acquaintances care a jot about what these two guys had to say?
Given the choice would Jesus have voted for Herod or Pilate or neither? In governmental elections is there ever anyone to vote for but Herod or Pilate? Since the make-believe lesser of two evils standard is still evil, why not just write-in "Lucifer" as your vote?

Patriot's Lament September 29, 2012: That Is Not Principle and Nobody Has The Right

In this episode we discuss freedom of conscience, and what is more of a duty, to vote for an election of a president, or the vote of a juror to nullify law? We talk about Patrick Henry and his "Liberty or Death" speech. We also defend Occupy Fairbanks' Right to Protest the government, and how Jefferson said he would rather see a little rebellion even when wrong than a complacent people.

Special Guest Bob Murphy on Patriot's Lament - October 20, 2012

In this hour we have as our special guest Robert Murphy. Bob talks to us about his non debate with Krugman, the chicken, and then talks to us about private society, and how private defense could work and how much more ethical that would be instead of the State being the monopoly of protection.

Shame on you!!

Today a caller to our show called to say,"Shame on you, we are the most free people in the world, and you are badmouthing America"!!
We answered that no, we love America, but we Hate the State. There is a big difference.
So I thought I would post this article by Bob Higgs, from Lew Rockwell.com.

"I hold myself second to none in my adoration of the amber waves of grain and the purple mountain majesties. I revere the ideal that this nation should serve as a beacon of freedom to the world and a refuge for its huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I weep with pride each time I watch the ailing Lou Gehrig tell the crowd at Yankee Stadium, “Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.” I don’t blame these beautiful, decent, and admirable aspects of America in the least for the chronic failure of U.S. foreign and defense policy to serve the general public interest.
With regard to the fools, mountebanks, unscrupulous opportunists, and psychopaths who have long played the greatest roles in devising and implementing U.S. foreign and defense policy, however, I hold a quite different and decidedly less favorable opinion."

Bumper sticker

I had some bumper stickers made a few weeks ago, we have given away about 80 so far, and I have seen them around town now.
So, if you would like a bumper sticker, just email us with a mailing address and I will send you one.
I think they are super sweet myself.






This of course was inspired by Murray Rothbard. If you haven't read or heard the podcast of it, you should.
This isn't about any person or geographical area. It's about an inner hatred for an organization of violence and death. Of sanctioned theft and redistribution. Of slavery to a entity that you cannot change or effect.
Of involuntary servitude at the point of a gun under the threat of a bullet to your head.

Do you HATE the STATE??

I do.

The Only Choice on November 6th

People don't want to hear this, and it's sad to me every time I hear, "Well, if we don't vote then..."
Whatever.
We have been harping here for quite a while, voting is a scam, and a false choice for Liberty.
It's set up that way. Don't participate. Make this your vote.
Refuse consent.

From Lew Rockwell;

You might say that this is ineffective. But what effect does voting have? It gives them what they need most: a mandate. Nonparticipation helps deny that to them. It makes them, just on the margin, a bit more fearful that they are ruling us without our consent. This is all to the good. The government should fear the people. Not voting is a good beginning toward instilling that fear.
This year especially there is no lesser of two evils. There is socialism or fascism. The true American spirit should guide every voter to have no part of either.
