Ultimately, the people have to decide which form of
government they want; option #1 or option #2. There is no other choice.
Claiming there is a choice of a “little” tyranny is like describing pregnancy
as a “touch of pregnancy.” It is a myth to believe that a mixture of free
markets and government central economic planning is a worthy compromise. What
we see today is a result of that type of thinking. And the results speak for
themselves.

The President and his Administration are a bunch of lying SOB's. Why was a General relieved because he decided to send troops to help the consulate? They are trying their best to put this under the rug. From the President to Hiliary Clinton and others need to be held accountable for the murder of four Americans, in cluding an Ambassador, who begged for more security!

A Culture of Violence

American now suffers from a culture of violence. It’s
easy to reject the initiation of violence against one’s neighbor but it’s
ironic that the people arbitrarily and freely anoint government officials with
monopoly power to initiate violence against the American people—practically at
will.

Because it’s the government that initiates force, most
people accept it as being legitimate. Those who exert the force have no sense
of guilt. It is believed by too many that governments are morally justified in
initiating force supposedly to “do good.” They incorrectly believe that this
authority has come from the “consent of the people.” The minority, or victims
of government violence never consented to suffer the abuse of government
mandates, even when dictated by the majority. Victims of TSA excesses never consented to
this abuse.

This attitude has given us a policy of initiating war to
“do good,” as well. It is claimed that war, to prevent war for noble purposes,
is justified. This is similar to what we were once told that: “destroying a
village to save a village” was justified. It was said by a US Secretary of
State that the loss of 500,000 Iraqis, mostly children, in the 1990s, as a
result of American bombs and sanctions, was “worth it” to achieve the “good” we
brought to the Iraqi people. And look at the mess that Iraq is in today.

Government use of force to mold social and economic
behavior at home and abroad has justified individuals using force on their own
terms. The fact that violence by government is seen as morally justified, is
the reason why violence will increase when the big financial crisis hits and
becomes a political crisis as well.

First, we recognize that individuals shouldn’t initiate
violence, then we give the authority to government. Eventually, the immoral use
of government violence, when things goes badly, will be used to justify an
individual’s “right” to do the same thing. Neither the government nor individuals
have the moral right to initiate violence against another yet we are moving
toward the day when both will claim this authority. If this cycle is not
reversed society will break down.

Saying that some State Department officials "have been held accountable,"

Didn't Obama say that if anyone wants to put the blame on anyone they should put the blame on him? So why did three State Department officials resign? Why hasn't Obama resigned yet?

bush administration - 12 embassy attacks - 53 Americans dead - 0 republican outrage - case closed.

hypocrisy at it's best.

When needs are pressing, conditions deteriorate and
rights become relative to the demands and the whims of the majority. It’s then
not a great leap for individuals to take it upon themselves to use violence to
get what they claim is theirs. As the economy deteriorates and the wealth
discrepancies increase—as are already occurring— violence increases as those in
need take it in their own hands to get what they believe is theirs. They will
not wait for a government rescue program.

When government officials wield power over others to bail
out the special interests, even with disastrous results to the average citizen,
they feel no guilt for the harm they do. Those who take us into undeclared wars
with many casualties resulting, never lose sleep over the death and destruction
their bad decisions caused. They are convinced that what they do is morally
justified, and the fact that many suffer just can’t be helped.

When the street criminals do the same thing, they too
have no remorse, believing they are only taking what is rightfully theirs. All
moral standards become relative. Whether it’s bailouts, privileges, government
subsidies or benefits for some from inflating a currency, it’s all part of a
process justified by a philosophy of forced redistribution of wealth. Violence,
or a threat of such, is the instrument required and unfortunately is of little
concern of most members of Congress.

Some argue it’s only a matter of “fairness” that those in
need are cared for. There are two problems with this. First, the principle is
used to provide a greater amount of benefits to the rich than the poor. Second,
no one seems to be concerned about whether or not it’s fair to those who end up
paying for the benefits. The costs are usually placed on the backs of the
middle class and are hidden from the public eye. Too many people believe
government handouts are free, like printing money out of thin air, and there is
no cost. That deception is coming to an end. The bills are coming due and
that’s what the economic slowdown is all about.

Sadly, we have become accustomed to living with the
illegitimate use of force by government. It is the tool for telling the people
how to live, what to eat and drink, what to read and how to spend their money.

To develop a truly free society, the issue of initiating
force must be understood and rejected. Granting to government even a small
amount of force is a dangerous concession.

Limiting Government Excesses vs. a Virtuous Moral People

Our Constitution, which was intended to limit government
power and abuse, has failed. The Founders warned that a free society depends on
a virtuous and moral people. The current crisis reflects that their concerns
were justified.

Most politicians and pundits are aware of the problems we
face but spend all their time in trying to reform government. The sad part is
that the suggested reforms almost always lead to less freedom and the
importance of a virtuous and moral people is either ignored, or not understood.
The new reforms serve only to further undermine liberty. The compounding effect
has given us this steady erosion of liberty and the massive expansion of debt.
The real question is: if it is liberty we seek, should most of the emphasis be
placed on government reform or trying to understand what “a virtuous and moral
people” means and how to promote it. The Constitution has not prevented the
people from demanding handouts for both rich and poor in their efforts to
reform the government, while ignoring the principles of a free society. All
branches of our government today are controlled by individuals who use their
power to undermine liberty and enhance the welfare/warfare state-and frequently
their own wealth and power.

If the people are unhappy with the government performance
it must be recognized that government is merely a reflection of an immoral
society that rejected a moral government of constitutional limitations of power
and love of freedom.

If this is the problem all the tinkering with thousands
of pages of new laws and regulations will do nothing to solve the problem.

It is self-evident that our freedoms have been severely
limited and the apparent prosperity we still have, is nothing more than
leftover wealth from a previous time. This fictitious wealth based on debt and
benefits from a false trust in our currency and credit, will play havoc with
our society when the bills come due. This means that the full consequence of
our lost liberties is yet to be felt.

But that illusion is now ending. Reversing a downward
spiral depends on accepting a new approach.

Expect the rapidly expanding homeschooling movement to
play a significant role in the revolutionary reforms needed to build a free
society with Constitutional protections. We cannot expect a Federal government
controlled school system to provide the intellectual ammunition to combat the
dangerous growth of government that threatens our liberties.

The internet will provide the alternative to the
government/media complex that controls the news and most political propaganda.
This is why it’s essential that the internet remains free of government
regulation.

Many of our religious institutions and secular
organizations support greater dependency on the state by supporting war,
welfare and corporatism and ignore the need for a virtuous people.

I never believed that the world or our country could be
made more free by politicians, if the people had no desire for freedom.

Under the current circumstances the most we can hope to
achieve in the political process is to use it as a podium to reach the people
to alert them of the nature of the crisis and the importance of their need to
assume responsibility for themselves, if it is liberty that they truly seek.
Without this, a constitutionally protected free society is impossible.

If this is true, our individual goal in life ought to be
for us to seek virtue and excellence and recognize that self-esteem and
happiness only comes from using one’s natural ability, in the most productive
manner possible, according to one’s own talents.

Productivity and creativity are the true source of
personal satisfaction. Freedom, and not dependency, provides the environment
needed to achieve these goals. Government cannot do this for us; it only gets
in the way. When the government gets involved, the goal becomes a bailout or a
subsidy and these cannot provide a sense of personal achievement.

Achieving legislative power and political influence
should not be our goal. Most of the change, if it is to come, will not come
from the politicians, but rather from individuals, family, friends,
intellectual leaders and our religious institutions. The solution can only come
from rejecting the use of coercion, compulsion, government commands, and
aggressive force, to mold social and economic behavior. Without accepting these
restraints, inevitably the consensus will be to allow the government to mandate
economic equality and obedience to the politicians who gain power and promote
an environment that smothers the freedoms of everyone. It is then that the
responsible individuals who seek excellence and self-esteem by being
self-reliance and productive, become the true victims.

What are the greatest dangers that the American people
face today and impede the goal of a free society? There are five.

1. The continuous attack on our civil liberties which
threatens

the rule of law and our ability to resist the onrush of
tyranny.

2. Violent anti-Americanism that has engulfed the world.
Because the phenomenon of “blow-back” is not understood or denied, our foreign
policy is destined to keep us involved in many wars that we have no business
being in. National bankruptcy and a greater threat to our national security
will result.

3. The ease in which we go to war, without a declaration
by Congress, but accepting international authority from the UN or NATO even for
preemptive wars, otherwise known as aggression.

4. A financial political crisis as a consequence of
excessive debt, unfunded liabilities, spending, bailouts, and gross discrepancy
in wealth distribution going from the middle class to the rich. The danger of
central economic planning, by the Federal Reserve must be understood.

5. World government taking over local and US sovereignty
by getting involved in the issues of war, welfare, trade, banking, a world
currency, taxes, property ownership, and private ownership of guns.

Happily, there is an answer for these very dangerous trends.

1) We had a story floated that everyone knew was not true...

2) We had 4 Americans killed because "someone" called off the rescue...

Yet we can't find out why the story was changed or who allowed our Americans to be murdered and all this is a Right wing conspiracy???? BS! How about we speak the truth for a change!!! We armed Libyans that we should not have gotten involved in. The arms fell into terrorist hands and the ambassador was trying to covertly work to get the weapons back and was attacked. When a rescue was about to be attempted, "Obama" gave the orders to stand down and allow the 4 to be killed covering up the mess. Then it was decided to blame the attack on angry movie goers instead or the rocket launching terrorist involved. B.F.S! A whitewashed report comes back blaming security errors... Those or you that believe that are about as stupid as they come... Wake up America.
