More propaganda from the right arm of the Libertarian Party: The Mises Institute.
“In the United States, for example, the state at one time or another during recent decades has confined millions of persons in dreadful steel cages because they had the temerity to engage in the wholly voluntary buying and selling or the mere possession of officially disapproved products. Compounding these state crimes (of kidnapping and unjust confinement) with impudence, state officials brazenly claim credit for their assaults on the victims of their so-called War on Drugs.”
You guys really need to quit trying to associate the Founding Fathers with your movement. They stood for everything that you’re against (God and His laws for one).
When has mises.org ever been against God? Ron Paul is a CHRISTIAN. Same thing w/ Lew Rockwell. They believe total free market capitalism is the ONLY form of economics according to the Bible.
Who’s going to stop them? The government? Ha. Every movement tries to associate itself, in some way, with the founding fathers. Even communists say that they are following the ideal of doing the most for the people.
In the end, the fact that it’s the American experience that first the people established themselves then the government established itself makes it easier for the Libertarians to associate themselves with the founding fathers than anyone else. The pioneer spirit and all that.
