Freedom or Fascism

December 24, 2007

On Meet the Press yesterday Ron Paul indicated that he believes America is on the path towards a softer form of fascism, which he labeled corporatism — when the military industrial complex, the medical industrial complex, the communications industry and the financial industry have control over government policy. If you believe fascism is against the best interest of your people, the only way to protect youself from such a system is to support every candidate that espouses a political philosophy of small government and freedom.

You don’t have to agree with what people do with their freedom, only that they have a right to do it. The idea that we should send half our income to some bureaucrats in a city far away then hire lobbyists and corrupt middlemen to fight over it is insane. The idea that the world is filled with greedy evil people so we need to put other greedy evil people in charge of them to impose rules and regulations that only cause more problems and enrich themselves and their friends is
scandalous.

Libertarians want minimum government and maximum freedom. People need to wake up and stop judging policies and politicians by their intentions, you need to judge them by their results. Everyone knows a road paved with good intentions, and where it leads. America is going bankrupt. America is killing people all over the world. America is losing its freedom at home. There is no threat to your life or your freedom or your property that will ever exceed the threat posed by your own government and the sons of bitches running it. That’s what the founders of America were fighting for. Not a welfare state in which you need to bribe the government with protection money to keep your freedom. They were fighting for a nation of free enterprising individuals and a government restricted only to what is required to preserve that freedom. Who cares if Ron Paul is leading or trailing, he’s the only honest person in Washington.

George Bush has been so damaging to America that he discredits the whole concept of government by making it plain and clear to every thinking person how dangerous these institutions have become. That’s why, rather than risk being faced with an even worse version of George Bush in the future (Giuliani) who will abuse these institutions to an unprecedented degree, it’s better they simply don’t exist. You have to ask yourself — is it better to control the use of nuclear weapons or simply eliminate them altogether — is it better to try to manage an unmanageable bureaucracy or to simply eliminate it?
