[Quote No.35509] Need Area: Friends > General
"In today's world, many people have come to believe in the need for peace and civil liberties while acknowledging the importance of free markets and merit-based advancement. In 1971, the Libertarian Party was formed in the United States to offer policies that met these goals. There was a need because, in many people's opinions, while Democrats were good at civil liberties, they were not good with free markets and while the Republicans were good with free markets, they were not good with civil liberties. The Libertarian Party is now the third largest political party in the United States. It is worth googling to discover more about their values, principles and policies to see if they make a sensible alternative to the other parties for you, as they have for so many others." - Ben O'Grady

"Going to war for humanitarian purposes [rather than self-defence of their citizens' lives and property only] opens Pandora's box; any government [politician, tyrant, etc] can say any other government is misbehaving [in their subjective opinion, as an excuse] and can then launch attacks. [Never forget, there are good, sound reasons for doing a thing and then there are reasons that sound good, that public relations advisors spin, to win '(soft) hearts and (simple) minds'.]" - Doug Casey

[Quote No.35536] Need Area: Friends > General
"Planks from the Libertarian Party platform:
1.0 Personal Liberty -
Individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and to accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. No individual, group, or government may initiate force against any other individual, group, or government. Our support of an individual's right to make choices in life does not mean that we necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices.
2.0 Economic Liberty -
Libertarians want all members of society to have abundant opportunities to achieve economic success. A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. The only proper role of government in the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected. All efforts by government to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade, are improper in a free society." - Libertarian Party
The Libertarian Party is America's third-largest political party, founded in 1971. The Libertarian Party stands for free markets, civil liberties, and peace.

"Actually, there is only one first question of government, and it is 'How should we live?' or 'What kind of people do we want our citizens to be?' [if you believe that citizens are government play-things and their rights are given to them by their government overlords. If however you believe in inalienable human rights that each citizens is born with, the key question for any politician or bureaucrat should be 'How can we support each citizen's inalienable rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of their subjective happiness and the protection of their personal property?'] " - George F.

[Quote No.35565] Need Area: Friends > General
"Freedom is inconvenient. We all want the right to do as we please, but we hate it when other people do as they please. Free speech is fine, unless we disagree with the message. Everyone should be able to protest, unless we don't like their viewpoint. Spout the conventional wisdom, and few people get upset. Challenge the status quo, and public outrage results. This is why freedom of expression and religion require constitutional protection. Freedom of conscience goes to the core of the human person. If this most basic liberty is not protected, then no freedom is likely to be secure. The power to curb expression must be put beyond transient political majorities." - Doug Bandow

[Quote No.35613] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Governments should be careful not to lose touch with individual differences and each individual's inalienable and equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.] And here we come to the vital distinction between the advocacy of temperance and the advocacy of prohibition. Temperance and self-control are convertible terms. Prohibition, or that which it implies, is the direct negation of the term self-control. In order to save the small percentage of men who are too weak to resist their animal desires, it aims to put chains on every man, the weak and the strong alike. And if this is proper in one respect, why not in all respects? Yet, what would one think of a proposition to keep all men locked up because a certain number have a propensity to steal?" - Percy Andreae

"The management of foreign relations appears to be the most susceptible of abuse, of all the trusts committed to a Government, because they can be concealed or disclosed, or disclosed in such parts and at such times as will best suit particular views; and because the body of the people are less capable of judging and are more under the influence of prejudices, on that branch of their affairs, than of any other. Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger real or pretended from abroad." - James Madison

[Quote No.35641] Need Area: Friends > General
"[An example of the checks and balances against the different powers in society to support individual liberty is the Bill of Rights that begins the US Constitution. Another is] Habeas corpus (Latin meaning 'you may have the body') is a writ, or legal action, through which a prisoner can be released from unlawful detention. The remedy can be sought by the prisoner or by another person coming to his aid. Habeas corpus originated in the English legal system, but it is now available in many nations. It has historically been an important legal instrument safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary state action [detention].
A writ of habeas corpus is a summons with the force of a court order, addressed to the custodian (a prison official for example) demanding that a prisoner be taken before the court, and that the custodian present proof of authority, allowing the court to determine if the custodian has lawful authority to detain the person. If the custodian does not have authority to detain the prisoner, then he must be released from custody. The prisoner, or another person acting on his or her behalf, may petition the court, or a judge, for a writ of habeas corpus. One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado. Most civil law jurisdictions provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained, but this is not always called 'habeas corpus'. For example, in some Spanish-speaking nations, the equivalent remedy for unlawful imprisonment is the amparo de libertad.
Habeas corpus has certain limitations. It is technically only a procedural remedy; it is a guarantee against any detention that is forbidden by law, but it does not necessarily protect other rights, such as the entitlement to a fair trial. So if an imposition such as internment without trial is permitted by the law then habeas corpus may not be a useful remedy. Furthermore, in many countries, the process may be suspended due to a national emergency." - wikipedia.com

[Quote No.35663] Need Area: Friends > General
"Is our [US] government run by honest angels while the rest of the world is a bunch of evil heathens? I hardly think so. Our own government has plenty of incentives to lie. However, it's socially acceptable to distrust a foreign government, but society ingrains a trust of domestic governments. This is true in countries across the world. Kids simply aren't often taught about the mistakes of their domestic government. In schools, every president was a hero and every war is just." - Vedran Vuk

[Quote No.35680] Need Area: Friends > General
"Slavery [the penultimate anti-personal freedom, the ultimate being killing another] is an institution of pre-industrial societies. It existed all over the world, across countries, cultures, and races, for thousands of years. It only really started disappearing with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, in the mid-1700s. It's completely inconsistent with a free-market, capitalist society, partly because capitalism rests on strict property rights. And the primary and most basic form of property is your own body. One person can't own another." - Doug Casey

[Quote No.35716] Need Area: Friends > General
"[As an entitlement mentality becomes entrenched as ever bigger promises are made by political parties to get elected, the vitality of a country's economy can be slowly strangled, by an ever increasing tax take or deficit-debt burden.] The United States has been spending well beyond its means [deficit spending] for a decade, borrowing to make up the difference and racking up debt that now totals more than $14 trillion – about the size of the entire U.S. economy [debt-to-GDP ratio]. This year, the government is on course to spend about $3.8 trillion, while taking in just $2.2 trillion, mostly through taxes. So it’s borrowing to finance an astonishing 42 percent of its spending. For anybody who thinks its easy to cut 42 percent of all federal spending (and still get reelected), here’s how that spending breaks down:
--Social Security and Medicare, the government’s two most popular programs, account for 39 percent of all spending.
--Defense accounts for 20 percent.
--Medicaid, which helps keep our embarrassingly high poverty rate from being even higher, accounts for 7.5 percent.
--Interest on the debt, which must be paid unless Washington is willing to default and cause a global depression, is 5.4 percent of federal spending.
--Everything else... accounts for the other 28 percent of spending." - Rick Newman
