Land of the free and home of the brave? We are regulated, legislated and controlled well beyond freedom. And Americans are too cowardly to face life without the nanny state.

The judges asserted that birds have a fundamental right to live with dignity and be free.

So do cows. Those Judges need to stop eating. It will make the world a better place.

These people shouldn't be reasoned with, they need to be knocked down and stepped on. It is way past time we stopped treating their prattlings with indulgence and started demanding an accounting for such incompetence.

Who is John Galt?

More and more people are getting it.

It’s why I moved from Seattle to rural KY. It’s why I have my tag line. To be clear, it’s more about timing than obama.

Well, we don’t have a fundamental right to live with dignity. Dignity, like respect, must be earned. I suppose it depends on the definition of both.

Freedom relates to the process. How others view it is part of THEIR freedom. As soon as you demand they respect your choices, you have robbed them of their freedom of thought, speech and conscience.

With freedom comes the freedom to fail, to fall flat on your face, to make a fool of yourself, to flop, etc. That is the responsibility side. These days liberals think all failure should be blamed on and paid for by others. That’s not freedom.

Our government has had 60+ years of unrestricted financial freedom. The freedom to print unbacked currency, to issue unlimited debt, to centrally control the first of all markets - the supply of money.

Of course then government is going to grow wildly. Ideologies that support that growth of the progressive nanny state are going to do very well, because ultimately, there will always be unlimited funding for them. So we’ve had a couple generations now whose ideas of freedom, self-responsiblity and the role of government have been greatly influenced by this huge, progressive nanny state around them.

This dumbing down phenomenon is covered in “TransEvolution. The Coming Age of Human Deconstruction” by Daniel Estulin.

All because of our children being conditioned by the “public school”indoctrination system (removed from the Natural Family) to destroy self-initiative and emasculate boys and dehumanize and destroy Reason and warp Natural Instincts and kill Virtue in all children. Schools are designed to literally destroy Virtue and create “group thinkers” -—(who can’t “think” actually-—they are fixated at puerile stages to be immature for life).

Without Virtue, there is no Freedom possible (Aristotle/Cicero/Founders).

Take back the minds and emotions of your own children and grandchildren—and control what goes into their minds-—and direct and habituate them to the Good. All behaviors and attitudes are LEARNED and HABITUATED by the environment. Don’t give the minds of your children to the State EVER. Toxic cultures like the Weimar Republic literally destroyed the masses’ ability to “think”-—controlled all perceptions and desires and created Hitler. Liberty for Security -—it NEVER succeeds and will end in total dehumanization.

This is not why I fought Communism, all those years ago.
