Libertarianism is the belief that all government powers are derived from the governed; that is you and me.
I get a lot of questions about what I think of SB1070. Once I explain that my opposition has nothing to do with the phony propaganda idea that it would affect immigration, migration, naturalization or border control, people tend to agree that it is ‘junk law’. My opposition is to SB1070′s allowance for a National [more]
Finally time permits me to post a few notes from the trail. The drive to Payson was a welcome relief to the heat down here in Phoenix. I was struck by the number of people who turned out. The large room was filled to standing room only by a crowd of what I’d guess to [more]
Barry will be speaking at the Scottsdale Tea Party tonight at Fox’s Bar and Grill 16203 N. Scottsdale Rd @ FLW Blvd. Come see what all the excitement is about and why the smart people are clamoring to come on board the freedom train!
When I woke up this morning and got to thinking about last night, I just couldn’t let the day go by without personally thanking all the good folks who turned out for our fundraiser, and those people who made it happen. Thank you, Ernie, for the lend of your home, your efforts, your friendship, your [more]
There’s a simple rule of thumb to remember: “The bigger the government, the smaller the individual.”
Barry Hess: “Restoring Freedom for Arizonans”
By a vote of 5-1 (with 1 not voting) the Boston Tea Party National Committee endorsed Libertarian Barry Hess for Governor of Arizona. Hess, the “favorite son” VP nominee for Arizona by the BTP in 2008, is running a no compromise campaign based on the philosophy that, “Freedom’s the Answer,…. What’s the Question?”
He has a mission: “Beyond running a campaign free of the taint of “Public Funding”, our objective is to offer Arizonans a real, clear and distinct choice as to who will be the next Governor.
Never has it been so clear that the Democrat Party ‘is’ the Republican Party (and vice versa), and never have they/it inflicted so much pain on the very people they promised to help…
Never has it been so clear that the problems Arizonans face are not because a Republican/Democrat ‘won’ or ‘lost’, like the Olde Media outlets would have you believe, but because government continues to grow with either.
There’s a simple rule of thumb to remember: The bigger the government, the smaller the individual.”
And he has a vision “of an Arizona where its government is honest and open and protects the freedoms and liberties of all of its Citizens; where the opportunity for entrepreneurs goes unhindered; where opportunity and prosperity are boundless; where a person’s privacy and property are respected; where every Citizen is safe in the public thoroughfare, and where the Constitution is upheld to safeguard all of these things.”
“On the matter of the issues,” Hess writes, “you will see a common theme; that the solutions are based on what the brilliant minds of entrepreneurs can do with us, rather than what the government can do for us… Government, by nature, is inefficient. Government solutions are cumbersome, not very adaptable, and loaded with bureaucratic rules, regulations and red tape that make implementation slow and expensive. Additionally, without free market competition, there is little pressure to improve the product or service and/or reduce it’s cost.
Choice is the gift that liberty gives to us.”
Will you make the right choice?
