Fascism, State Capitalism and Outsourcing
"One can conclude that Americans have been inflated, taxed, regulated, legislated, and cheated out of a level playing field to sell their services by the state and its corporate sponsors. Instead of telling Americans to celebrate their emasculation at the hand of the state and its corporate minions as a triumph of freedom and the free market, it’s much more honest to describe Americans’ economic and other problems, including outsourcing and globalization, as self-inflicted problems stemming from their unconditional support of the state and its policies."

"[Libertarianism] can be shown to be completely unworkable. Why? It is completely arbitrary. It promotes picking any principle you want to apply, and then thinking how it could be applied irrespective of other principles and facts." Column by weebies.
The Free Market Case Against Abortion
Recommended "...it is amazing that anyone, especially libertarians, would cling to anything associated with Marx’s thoroughly discredited theories. We have already had too many innocent lives needlessly sacrificed for the addle-brained utopian scheme of a classless worker’s paradise; we don’t need to add any more." Column by weebies.
"While not unconstitutional, it is extremely hypocritical and deceptive that the state and its minions post anything concerning not murdering, not stealing, and not lying. If there was any justice and truth, every state agency would be required to post a large neon sign with the following message – 'We are the state, we murder, we steal, we lie'." Column by weebies.
An Anarchist's Proposal for Limited Constitutional Government
"The current US Constitution failed because it took power from the hands of the people and entrusted it to politicians, bureaucrats, and judges, a sure recipe for disaster and enslavement. The only way to correct this is to remove power from the parasitical ruling class, and restore it to individuals, where it rightfully belongs." Column by weebies.
"In truth, the opposite happens with voting and elections – the supreme power is wrested from individuals, and invested in representatives. These representatives can then ignore the will of individuals and groups, both majority and minority, and cater to the special interest groups that they really represent. Voting and elections are a sham to steal power from the individual, to cloak the results in the empty skeleton of democracy, having the outward form, but lacking the inner essence. Sadly, most fully embrace this charade and gladly accept their own slavery." Column by weebies.
"Patriotism is a tool of the state. The state uses it to demand blind, unthinking obedience to the dictates of the leaders. It is used to stifle discussion of issues that the state does not want questioned. As practiced today, patriotism is the enemy of free speech and freedom." Column by weebies.
"...there are people who the state is afraid of, who politicians and the media portray as traitors and a threat to the nation. These are people who reject the state’s wars of aggression, who repudiate the state’s right to murder and steal. People like Sergeant Kevin Benderman and Sergeant Camilo Mejia are the ones who terrify Bush and his cult of terrorism and death. Citizens who don’t blindly follow their leaders’ dictates, and question the wisdom of slaughtering innocent civilians to satisfy their leaders’ lust for power, are the state’s greatest enemy. Bush, and his gang of thugs, knows that without the unquestioning obedience of most of the populace, their plans will turn to dust, and the very foundation of the edifice of the criminal state could crumble." Column by weebies.
"Bush also has a dog....One can’t help but wonder if Bush suffers from dyslexia, and confuses the words God and dog, and actually means he is talking to his dog when he claims he is talking to God." Column by weebies.
"The state relies on stampeding people to blindly follow their leaders’ dictates, while using jingoistic, emotional appeals to 'patriotism' and 'support our troops' to get the masses to agree to the warmongering policies of the state, which are against the interests of the individual. Only those who reject the collectivist herd mentality, and value individualism and independent thought, who question and distrust all political authority, are able to penetrate the lies of the state and its propaganda machines, and refuse its immoral activity." Column by weebies.
Recommended "All freedom lovers should actively oppose and expose all forms of state capitalism. This is especially true of state capitalism as practiced by the military-industrial complex, which has been responsible for countless atrocities. There is nothing remotely free market about the military-industrial complex. It uses the theft of taxation to fund items to allow the state to murder and destroy private property." Column by weebies.
My Nominations for the 2004 STR Awards
"Without the criminal mind of Cheney directing the illegal activity of the Bush administration in the background, it is doubtful the moron Bush could do as much damage on his own. Its hard to know which is the worst scumbag, Bush or Cheney." Nominations by weebies.
Individualism, Individual Responsibility and Freedom
"Consider the hundreds and maybe thousands of individuals whom most people come into direct and indirect contact with on a daily basis by traveling/driving, shopping, and working. Happily, these people do not interact with each other by murder, robbing, or lying in free market business transactions. Such occurrences are aberrations....Now consider how many times a day the state murders, how many times a day the state lies, how many times a day the state steals. It is no exaggeration to claim that the state engages in these activities on a 24 hour, 7 day a week basis. Yet people, who would consider it a crime or dishonest if done by an individual, consider it OK for the state, and for collective individuals working for the state. They even have a word for this collective criminal activity--'patriotism'--and those who participate in it are 'doing their duty'." Column by weebies.
Egalitarianism: The Holy Grail of Socialism
"The idea that private property is theft promotes an economic equality of results that is disastrous. While in theory it should mean that we are all equally rich, sharing in all the property of each other, in reality it means individuals own nothing and are equally poor. An individual’s possessions...are not his any longer, and can be claimed by the first looter or group of looters who come along to claim them. Even a person’s most valuable possession, his life, is not safe from the depredations of those who view him as a faceless cog to be molded for the greater glory of society." Column by weebies.
"Anarchism basically states that people should be free to make their own decisions on how to live. Anarchism does NOT tell one how to use their freedom, what is the best method to live by--just that people should be free to decide. Anarchism does not tell one to be a socialist, or a capitalist, or believe in religion, or be an atheist, or how to live." Column by weebies.
"Kerry’s
whole campaign was run on the idea that he could better carry out the state’s
acts of terrorism, both domestically and internationally, better than Bush, and

What Does 'Support the Troops' Mean?
Recommended "I used to believe in 'support the troops' while opposing the government policy. I changed my mind when I realized that the military troops are just the hit men for carrying out the state's murder and theft. Saying 'support the troops' while opposing the government is equivalent to saying, 'I oppose the mafia but support the mafia's hit men'." Column by weebies.
Liberal vs. Conservative from a Freedom Perspective
"Let's be perfectly clear. There is only one major difference between Bush (Republicans) / Kerry (Democrats): Bush prefers to do all the murdering, destruction, and looting by himself, only looking for international support when his crimes fail; Kerry prefers to internationalize his crimes by getting others to join in the murdering, destruction, and looting from the start, but will not make that a requirement that would prevent any bloodletting rampage he desires."
