They talk about Libertarianism and Anarchism. There is no coming out of this (USA) without collapse and chaos; do you want a Libertarian in office when the whole thing collapses? Who would the people blame? Based on history, that is an easy answer.
"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!

Liberty Classroom
Tom Woods just announced the "Liberty Classroom" is in full operation. I would highly recommend joining!
Maybe you won't have to read all of "Conceived in Liberty" after all.
Here is the link. Liberty Classroom.

Tom Woods
Tom Woods of the Mises Institute gave us some of his time and wisdom today on the radio program (Thank you, Dr. Woods!!). I will get the program posted up ASAP; in the meantime, here is a speech by Tom Woods, or you can get these and more from the Mises Institute here. .
An evening with Tom Woods.

Just War theory
Here is a really good article I found on Tom Woods site.
We have to re-think our mindset of "anything America does is just" if we want to survive. Face it, folks, America is not guilt free. While I'm not a "blame America first" person, I can see a whole lot of evil that this country has done, and we need to stop. Allowing a select few to take us to war for the profit of a select few is evil. Flat out evil. We are not immune from wrongdoing, and we will be held accountable one day, of that I am certain.
If the justification for the attack were simply Iran’s imminent possession of nuclear weapons, then clearly neither the United States nor Israel would be in a position of comparative justice, since both have nuclear weapons as well. Even if the cause for war were the likely use of Iranian nuclear weapons against innocent civilians, this situation is a murky one, since the United States is the one nation that has actually used nuclear weapons against an enemy and, in at least one case (Nagasaki), against a civilian population center with no significant military installations.
Read the rest here.
I wish every American would take the time to read this. Including several "Christian" friends of mine.
