Nobody considers it their right to receive the help of a charity. <br /><br />With government programs, the idea is clear that when you are born in this country you get to take all you can from government, yet you are free to ignore that the money the government gets is actually your neighbors.<br /><br />The USSR is socialism with an elite class. Every statist society, be it socialism or fascist has a ruling (elite) class.<br /><br />True communism is better described as tribalism where literally everybody owns everything. Marxism needs a government to destroy property rights, tax heavily and enforce equality upon the masses. However, the elite as Orwell well put, "Some are more equal than others."Joseph Kexelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932884884211806105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733942671603864881.post-25334708729732430192012-04-22T02:49:18.068-07:002012-04-22T02:49:18.068-07:00You have posted awesome news, keep it up.

A libertarian runs a different kind of campaign. It is truly a campaign for freedom. Real <i>freedom</i>!<br /><br />I believe you will find that for people to vote libertarian they are going to have to meet the candidate half way: the libertarian candidate offers his candidacy and freedom — the voter has to find out about that candidate and vote that way. <br /><br />It's not a one-way flow in which current candidates engage: the candidate makes all the effort, spends all the money, pounds all the information into the voters head, and even drags them to the voting booth. <br /><br />That's not the way freedom works.<br /><br />You ran a great campaign.George Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805290200558969911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733942671603864881.post-52686014991539078372010-08-22T22:39:04.095-07:002010-08-22T22:39:04.095-07:00Good evaluaton, Joe.

I think that abortion is a state issue, that is the most important take away. If states wish to fund abortions, they can try, but many of their citizens will object and may move away. With states you may leave when they go beyond your moral compass. Where will you escape to when the feds do it? My position is that the federal government has no authority to take money from US citizens to pay for abortions in the other states. If a state wants it, it must make the case to its own citizens.<br /><br />I am a federal candidate which believes in states's rights. If you dislike paying for things in your state, it is YOUR responsibility to change your state. The feds cannot force your state to behave in any manner not allowed in the US Constitution. I support repealing 1913 and the 14th Amendment, so I cannot help you from DC to force your state into some national consensus.<br /><br />As for war, I do not support the Federal Reserve, so without a credit card to wage war, the people will be taxed immediately or will need to buy bonds.<br /><br />I strongly believe that when war is not put on a credit card, there will far less of it. We, also, must declare wars through Congress. Republicans failed to do that for both Afghanistan and Iraq. <br /><br />If you are strongly against a war, then you may need to stop paying your taxes and risk prison. That is not a very easy decision to make and the fact we have the Federal Reserve to print up cash to pay for wars hides the reality too much. Without the Fed, your taxes will rise or they will need to sell the war to you so you buy the bonds. War is supposed to be rare. That fact people need to worry about the endless wars their tax money supports shows how far off the path we have gone.<br /><br />As a libertarian I completely oppose capital punishment. The state does not have the authority to take a life except in self defense. If you truly object to your state doing it, then fight to change it or move. That is your moral choice. Even a declaration of war is a justification that the war about to be waged is an act of self-defense for the other country is unfairly affecting our sovereignty. I am pretty sure, "We want your oil!" would not suffice for the American people.<br /><br />People must see a far different paradigm than what they are used to in order to understand my position.Joseph Kexelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932884884211806105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733942671603864881.post-78443404356328626422010-08-03T14:47:46.563-07:002010-08-03T14:47:46.563-07:00So instead of donating to a 3rd party like the Fed...So instead of donating to a 3rd party like the Fed or a church or the Red Cross, I should give directly to the persons in need. That way they won't thank the wrong persons? <br /><br />So am I a moron because I think that government could be a good way to pool money to help the less unfortunate just as it is a good way to pool money to create roads and highways. <br /><br />You make some good points but inadequately argue others points by making everything black and white. Everything is much closer to gray. Besides that, the USSR was Party centered capitalism masquerading as socialism.

Can I elect to not finance a war that I don't feel comfortable with? How about capital punishment if my state allows it? I am assuming that moral objection would apply to state as well as federal laws. If not, why just abortion?<br /><br />I hate to say that you kind of just sound like a republican or a teaparty advocate as much as you do a libertarian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733942671603864881.post-89517315458218442722010-07-22T17:44:53.118-07:002010-07-22T17:44:53.118-07:00Hi, Joe.

Theoretically it seem valid, but the "unintended consequence" is that it allows the US Supreme Court to second guess the State Supreme Courts, virtually taking over jurisdiction of State Laws.<br /><br />Under the system the way it was intended to operate, except for the few specified in the Constitution itself, the States have sovereign power over their own laws.<br /><br />The 14th generalizes federal power over the states, a violation of James Madison's guarantee to the States in Federalist Paper #45.George Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805290200558969911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733942671603864881.post-34158664694037358252010-07-06T23:11:41.933-07:002010-07-06T23:11:41.933-07:00Yeah man you got my support too.
