Another year gone, and in many ways the hope of liberty and justice seem even more distant than ever... But there are some people and happenings that seem to be bucking the tide and a lot of people seem to be at least think about the direction we're going and the methods being used to drag us into increasing slavery.

You can be merely an observer, or pick up a sword and enter the battle. The choice is yours.

The price of liberty is far more than simple vigilance. The cost includes the integrity to accept complete personal responsibility for our lives, safety, property and welfare. The price that so many find hardest to pay, however, is the integrity to leave everyone else alone to do the same.

We cannot change human nature, and we cannot legislate/force others to be honest, thrifty, safe or intelligent. They must do it on their own or bear the consequences, and nobody has the right to do anything about it but defend themselves from aggression.

The purpose of this web site is to define the terms, discuss the application of those terms to our quest for liberty, and to explore the ways in which we may achieve liberty in our own lives with a legacy of justice for our children.

Political and news commentary is welcome, but we will not publish or post anything that calls for the initiation of force, government intervention of any kind, or makes personal attacks on our fellow citizens.

There has been a lot of comment from readers about articles that are not complimentary to certain politicians. They point to our policy of no "personal attacks". What they fail to understand is that when a person becomes a politician and assumes a position of power, he is no longer able to claim that protection. His (or her) actions and character are very much relevant to our lives and property. Therefore, we must be able to learn and communicate the things they do and even the possible reasons they do them so that we may be prepared and protect ourselves as much as possible.

None of them need to remain in the public eye or face unfavorable journalists. All they have to do is keep their word and honor their oath of office or resign and go home. It isn't an "attack" to defend yourself against a mad dog. We can't regain our liberty if we are "politically correct".

Your comments welcome!
