For the moment, let's leave religion out of this discussion. I will come back to it later. All Humans(people), by nature, have the same rights; not dependent on when, where, how, or what gender they are born. These Rights supersede all national affiliations and national laws. These are natural laws. They existed before there were governments and will remain after. First and foremost, All people own themselves. All people are entitled to the fruits of their own labor. All associations, transactions, contracts, agreements, sales, etc. of Any kind, for Any reason must be voluntary. (Non-Aggression Principle or NAP - Aggression/Coercion should not be used to force anyone to do, say, or agree to Anything. The ONLY time aggression may be used is in the defense of the life and rights of yourself (or others) from another party initiating aggression.) Theft of any kind is wrong. These represent my ETHICAL stance on way human society should be. I understand that this model of
"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." --John Basil Barnhill (24 April 1864 - 21 January 1929) [Writer, lecturer, debater, ed. of various journals a.k.a. John Erwin McCall], The American Anti-socialist, 1912 (commonly falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson) #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #JohnBasilBarnhill #Tyranny
"Do not consider Collectivists as "sincere but deluded idealists". The proposal to enslave some men for the sake of others is not an ideal; brutality is not "idealistic," no matter what its purpose. Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives." --Ayn Rand, Textbook of Americanism, 1946 ( ) #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #AynRand
"Even the richest person, provided the riches comes from mutually beneficial exchange, does not need to give anything "back" to the community, because this person took nothing out of the community. Indeed, the reverse is true: Enterprises give to the community. Their owners take huge risks, and front the money for investment, precisely with the goal of serving others. Their riches are signs that they have achieved their aims." --Jeffrey Tucker, Does Money Taint Everything?, 8 May 2008 ( https://mises.org/library/does-money-taint-everything ) #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #JeffreyTucker #Property #Taxation
"These examples and many others demonstrate an alarming trend whereby the privacy and dignity of our citizens is being whittled away by sometimes imperceptible steps. Taken individually, each step may be of little consequence. But when viewed as a whole, there begins to emerge a society quite unlike any we have seen -- a society in which government may intrude into the secret regions of man's life at will." -- William O. Douglas SCOTUS, [Osborn v. United States, 385 U.S. 323, 343 (1966) (dissenting)] #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #SCOTUS #WilliamODouglas #OsbornVUnitedStates #Privacy #BigBrother
"Libertarians make no exceptions to the golden rule and provide no moral loophole, no double standard, for government. That is, libertarians believe that murder is murder and does not become sanctified by reasons of state if committed by the government. We believe that theft is theft and does not become legitimated because organized robbers call their theft "taxation." We believe that enslavement is enslavement even if the institution committing that act calls it "conscription." In short, the key to libertarian theory is that it makes no exceptions in its universal ethic for government." --Murray N. Rothbard, Myth and Truth About Libertarianism, 20 July 2019 ( https://mises.org/library/myth-and-truth-about-libertarianism ) #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #MurrayNRothbard #Mises #Libertarian
"There is nothing virtuous or noble about being "tolerant" of people whose attitudes and behaviors you approve of. If you don't defend the freedom of even those individuals whose attitudes and behaviors you find disgusting, narrow-minded and offensive, then you are not tolerant. To "tolerate" doesn't mean you like it or approve of it; it means only that you ALLOW it to EXIST--i.e., you refrain from violently interfering. The people who look to "government" to FORCE people to be "nice" are not tolerant." --Larken Rose #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #LarkenRose
"Moreover, in the system of criminal punishment in the libertarian world, the emphasis would never be, as it is now, on "society's" jailing the criminal; the emphasis would necessarily be on compelling the criminal to make restitution to the victim of his crime. The present system, in which the victim is not recompensed but instead has to pay taxes to support the incarceration of his own attacker — would be evident nonsense in a world that focuses on the defense of property rights and therefore on the victim of crime." --Murray N. Rothbard, For a New Liberty. The Libertarian Manfesto. Second Edition. (Auburn, AL.: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 1973, 1978, 2006), "The State," pp. 55-86. #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #MurrayNRothbard #LibertarianManifesto #MisesInstitute #Mises
“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” --Samuel Adams, Letter to James Warren (24 October 1780) #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #SamuelAdams #FoundingFather

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Isaac H.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Steal a fish from one guy and give it to another--and keep doing that on a daily basis--and you'll make the first guy pissed off, but you'll make the second guy lazy and dependent on you. Then you can tell the second guy that the first guy is greedy for wanting to keep the fish he caught. Then the second guy will cheer for you to steal more fish. Then you can prohibit anyone from fishing without getting permission from you. Then you can expand the racket, stealing fish from more people and buying the loyalty of others. Then you can get the recipients of the stolen fish to act as your hired thugs. Then you can ... well, you know the rest.” --Larken Rose #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #LarkinRose
"The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response. To beg for the blessing of “authority” is to accept that the choice is the master’s alone to make, which means that the person is already, by definition, a slave." --Larken Rose, The Most Dangerous Superstition, 2011 #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #GrowNOSTR #LarkinRose
“But let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn. Do you disagree? Well then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you - and why?” --Walter E.

"I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts." --Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Washington, D.

"Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a ‘Great Leap Forward’ that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children. In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous." --Robert Higgs Ph.D., The State Is Too Dangerous to Tolerate, lecture was presented by Higgs at the 2013 Mises University, hosted by the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on 27 July 2013.

"We must, therefore, emphasize that “we” are not the government; the government is not “us.” The government does not in any accurate sense “represent” the majority of the people. But, even if it did, even if 70 percent of the people decided to murder the remaining 30 percent, this would still be murder and would not be voluntary suicide on the part of the slaughtered minority. No organicist metaphor, no irrelevant bromide that “we are all part of one another,” must be permitted to obscure this basic fact. " --MURRAY N.

“The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatable things, called by the same name — liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatable names — liberty and tyranny. --AbrahamLincoln, POTUS, address at sanitary fair, Baltimore, Maryland (18 April 1864) #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #AbrahamLincoln #POTUS
“Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. Few teachers understand that the study of history can never be to learn historical dates and events by heart and recite them by rote; that what matters is not whether the child knows exactly when this battle or that was fought, when a general was born, or even when a monarch (usually a very insignificant one) came into the crown of his forefathers. No, by the living God, this is very unimportant. To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.” --Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf #QuoteOfTheDay #LibertyQuote #Quote #Quotes #Liberty #AdolfHitler #MeinKampf #History (People can be monsters and yet still sometimes be correct in what they say. )
"Unalienable rights are endowed by our Creator upon every human by virtue of being human, and privileges are given by our American government to a specific group of people — Americans. The U.S. Constitution is only five pages. It’s not complicated. That’s because it doesn’t grant rights to the American people, it grants specific, limited powers to the federal government to operate in accordance with the Declaration’s mandate: preserving and protecting the rights we the people already possess. For example, Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to legislate in very specific, limited subject matters. Article II grants specific, limited powers to the federal executive branch, and Article III grants specific, limited powers to the federal judiciary. The Bill of Rights (I prefer to call it the Bill of Protections) enumerates — but importantly does not grant — specific rights that civil governments most often infringe and abridge, and acts as a redundancy safeguard. Just in case Congress isn’t clear on its limited powers listed, the Founders told Congress specifically what it cannot do.
