"I must confess that I worry about how easily distracted Texans are these days. When Texans are more concerned with a ridiculous protest by overpaid athletes than they are the Federal noose that is tightening around our necks, we should all be concerned. Rather than burning the overpriced jersey from their favorite NFL team, Texans should be burning mad that Texas is still part of a union that robs them of their rights, their money, their dignity, and their right of self government."
Daniel Miller
"The ends sought by most advocates of political structuring are not a peaceful and orderly society, nor conforming human behavior to the demands of nature, nor maximizing the material and spiritual well-being of all humans. Their aspirations, rather, are to be found in the enjoyment of coercive power over others, a purpose that can be found in the manipulation of any conditions. 'Environmentalists' began, a few decades ago, with the 'threat' of a coming 'ice age,' for which state regulation of human behavior would be required. In mid-stream, their hypothecated threat became 'global warming,' with government control the only plausible solution. The 'threat' was later modified to 'climate change,' for which political control was proposed."
Butler Shaffer
"Decentralized and more numerous states are more difficult for the empire to control. If this wasn’t true, they wouldn’t be working so hard to centralize everything."

"Modern psychological force is based on the propaganda doctrines of altruism and self-sacrifice among the people. Anti-productive politicians and bureaucrats use and coerce the public mind with the doctrines of self-sacrifice and altruism. This is a system of appeal to the unconscious mind. When you hear a politician use the term 'fairness' or 'your fair share,' he is manipulating you to give up something to nonproductive government.
If the manipulative fiction of self-sacrifice were to become widely known, the people could readily see that taxes, regulations and innumerable laws are a complex system of government force."
Bob Livingston
"A government only has a right to decide whom you trade with if you’ve assigned that right to that government. If you haven’t done so, then the government has usurped that power. It has seized that power unlawfully, and that is exactly what has happened. The power that Trump and other presidents are using or may use to stop us from trading with whomever we may wish to is a usurpation. It is a power taken from us by force. It is an aggression. If the government stops you from trading with citizens of China or North Korea or Russia, it’s immoral because it’s an exercise of a usurped power."
Michael Rozeff
"If the irrationals currently shutting down debate on college campuses throughout the nation and calling for the abolition of all firearms have their way, they will achieve a sort of equality. We’ll all be equally oppressed by those who remain armed and who will control all of the people’s resources."
Sam Rolley
"As a matter of principle and personal preference, I’m in favor of secession.
Because if the pertinent question about independence referenda like the recent ones in Catalonia and Iraqi Kurdistan is Who gets to have a nation-state? my gut answer is: Whoever wants one! I’m in favor of self-determination. I’m in favor of governments that closely and democratically represent their constituents. I believe that small is beautiful and that large countries tend to be more trouble than they’re worth."

"The modern American media, scholastic, religious, and political establishments have created a depend-on-government mentality for virtually every part of the American existence, including for self-protection, safety, and security. Anyone who believes in the personal right of self-defense is deemed to be a kook or radical or worse. The American citizenry is constantly bombarded with media and governmental propaganda that pounds it into our psyche that we are supposed to wait helplessly for law enforcement personnel to arrive on the scene and come to our rescue. Of course, by the time police arrive, the damage is done. But that’s okay. It doesn’t really matter to these Big Government freaks how many people die; all that matters is that we depend on government. It’s not about safety and security, my friends; it’s about government CONTROL."
Chuck Baldwin
"There is no greater absurdity than moving history off its factual basis and substituting a fictional basis as dictated by Identity Politics.
In the United States—indeed, in the entirely of the Western world—history has become a construction that serves not the truth but special interests. This is the reason that the Western World is doomed. Peoples whose history is destroyed are defenceless. They have no idea who they are."
Paul Craig Roberts
