Back Against The Wall

23Mar2010
Obama called his health care strong arming just "another brick laid in the foundation of the American dream."

Well sir, whose American Dream? It damn sure isn't mine.

The more you promise to make everyone's dreams come true, forcing us all to the same level, the more those dreams start to look like nightmares. My dreams aren't dead yet, more like on life support.

Faced with the increasingly slave-state bent within our decaying government, Anarcho-capitalist theory and the life of an expatriate sound better all the time.

I would rather be a laborer in a free society, than an executive in Obama's America. Better to be a free man in struggle, than a slave in relative comfort. I would do with less, and know that I was working for my own benefit, not that of another.

Of course you can't leave the country with your savings without the whole amount being taxed as a penalty. Maybe a midnight drive across the border with a money belt full of gold certificates....

I'm probably reading too much Heinlein.

I love my country. I love its history, and the principles of its founding. I am not yet ready to renounce my national identity.

There’s not even a free land left to run to. There is no Mulligan's Valley waiting to receive me. The best one could hope for is to go “Ruby Ridge” in some remote part of the world, and stay below the radar for a few years.

We’ve fired our warning shots, and still they advanced. Our backs are to the wall and we have no place left to run. If you’re not ready to fight now, you never will be.
