BUMP
Walter Williams is the best.

I want my own island...run under a clearly worded constitution similar to the US...with harsh penalties for politicians who write, sponsor, or vote for an unconstitutional law.
Now, where did that winning lottery ticket go to...

we have no such obligation to have Congress take the earnings of one American and give them to another American. Forcing one American to serve the purposes of another is one way slavery can be defined. And we think we are free. Right. Try NOT paying and you will see how free we are!

go our own way just as our Founders did in 1776.Actually, it would be much more similar to (ahem...) 1861. And that worked out great, didn't it?

...with harsh penalties for politicians who write, sponsor, or vote for an unconstitutional law.Question...
If the government is willing to ignore certain parts of your Constitution, why would they respect the portion that punishes them for such an act? Who's going to punish them, anyway?

Dr. Williams is one of the greatest intellects mankind ever produced. He is the greatest intellect of the Twentieth Century and by far, the greatest intellect alive today.

BUMP for Dr. Walter E. Williams, and the Free State thing is great, but New Hampshire is too cold, and they don't have any beaches either.

Most people in this country wouldn't know what liberty was if it walked up and bit them in the ass. That includes the "Live Free or Die" folks.

The history of the Court, not to mention last week's decision on the constitutionality of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform that attacks free speech, is proof that Jefferson was right and Alexander Hamilton wrong.
With apologies to the Kennedy brothers, the South was right. The justices are, and have been, out of control. At least the state of Georgia once refused to comply with their idiotic decisions.

I will second that notion. Walter Williams should be the poster child for what is a great American.
To: agitator
"Most people in this country wouldn't know what liberty was if it walked up and bit them in the ass"
And therein lies the source of the problem which is not even recognized as a problem by most people and for the same reason.

Walter Williams has always been one of my favorites. Merry Christmas, John!

What a nut! This guy actually thinks that he ought to be allowed to be free!
