Vote For ANYONE Who Will Shrink Leviathan

Over the years we the people have created a powerful and dangerous beast of gigantic proportions in Washington, DC. This beast has become a threat to the very principles upon which this country was founded, namely Property, Freedom and Peace. 

We the people attempt to control this beast by building a cage around it, by using the puny tools of the Judiciary branch against the overgrown powers and resources of the combined Executive and Legislative branches. Small judicial victories against the Executive/Legislative beast are hard to come by and may soon be impossible altogether when activist justices who legislate from the bench dominate the Supreme Court. 

The sad part is we the people have enabled all of this by our willingness to sell our votes to politicians who promise to reward us with benefits funded by taxes extorted from our neighbors.

Assuming voting still matters, it's time we cast our votes for ANYONE on the ballot who promises to cut the Washington, DC beast down to size, who promises to return Leviathan's ill-gotten power and resources to their rightful owners: We the People.

Yes, I know promises can be broken. But a promise to downsize the federal Leviathan is better than a promise to keep spending more and more and more.... 

Sadly, Javier Milei, the libertarian President of Argentina, is not running for President of the United States. However, both Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have promised to drain the Washington, DC swamp, not with the fervor shown above by Milei, but a promise is a promise. 

Both Trump and Kennedy are electable if enough of us decide enough is enough. Pick one. Vote for him. And once your Milei wannabe gets to Washington, hold his feet to the fire and demand he keep his promise.

Our property, freedom and peace -- our lives -- depend upon it. 

Book Review "The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness"

Jill Filipovic is just another leftist-feminist who wants all women to be able to have their cake and eat it too, to have sex without consequences, to have a family without expense, to have happiness without the risk of heartache. 

She believes that government exists literally to facilitate women's pleasure-seeking and their pursuit of happiness. Equality of opportunity is not enough for socialists like Filipovic. Equality of outcome is what they are after, and that requires "free" (i.e., taxpayer funded) abortions, healthcare, childcare, education and housekeeping.

People like Filipovic believe, as all leftists believe, that they are entitled to their neighbor's labor and property. They are, in fact, thieves.

As my mother (a Godly homemaker) used to say: "Don't give them an inch. If you do, they'll take a mile."

Your Vote and Other People's Money

This election season reminds me of the Margaret Thatcher quote: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

Our society has a systematic problem. No amount of governmental tweaking can solve the problem of running out of other people's money. Period.

The only systematic solution is for society to be organized strictly on the basis of individual property rights, i.e., Thou shalt not steal. In such a society, the only money you eventually run out of is your own. And if you fail to produce enough and save enough so you don't run out of your own money when your life depends on it, well tough bananas. What kind of message would this send to future child-producers?

So the real question with regard to these United States in the here and now is: Will American voters suddenly decide to jump off their socialist merry-go-round and vote for absolute individual property rights?

No way in hell. Not this election season. It's going to take a catastrophic collapse of our socialist society to get the attention of the American voter. Hopefully, those who survive the collapse will learn the right lesson.
