This 1948 cartoon, sounds like it was made by libertarians today. This video is probably the best illistration of what the Libertarian Party stands I've ever seen.
Of course this video uses old terms like Capitalist, Freedom, and shows the evils of the State. Why are we giving our freedoms to the state? And what are we getting in exchange for our freedoms? All I can see is tyrany, distruction of rights, and loss of the rule of law/

The BusinessWeek article above goes into the details of how ethanol is costing you real money in repairs and failures of your vehicle caused by the hydrophylic, acidic, and other chemical properties of ethanol.
Demand ethanol free gasoline, the environment, our pocketbooks, and food sources can't afford ethanol enriched fuels.

Calf. County Demands permit to have Bible Study
A couple in San Diego holds a weekly bible study in their home, about 15 people every Thursday night On Good Friday a county employee knocked on their door and asked "Do you have a regular weekly meeting in your home? Do you sing? Do you say 'amen'?" the official reportedly asked. "Do you say, 'Praise the Lord'?"
The answer was yes.
The county employee told them to stop holding "religious assemblies" until they obtain a "Major Use Permit" from the county, a permit that often involves traffic and environmental studies, compliance with parking and sidewalk regulations and costs that top tens of thousands of dollars. And if they fail to pay for the MUP, the county official reportedly warned, the couple will be charged escalating fines beginning at $100, then $200, $500, $1000, "and then it will get ugly."
Talk about trashing the first amendment, which states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This violates the free exercise of religion clause, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
Having people show up for bible study once a week is no worse than having the same people show up once a week to watch Monday Night Football, and should be no business of the government. How is saying 'Praise the Lord' or 'Amen' make it require a permit where cheering for a touchdown doesn't?

4th Amendment Still Under Attack
Ok these guys are "Freedom Activists", meaning they know their rights and don't comprimise them. Not a bad position to take and a position every American should take.
3 young guys going from NewOrleans to Nashville, stopped in Jones County MS because the deputy doesn't like their temporary tag from New Hampshire.
They do nothing illegal except refuse to give police any more information than they are legally required to give. They are arrested for failing to obey an officer. Funny thing you are only required to obey legal orders from an officer. You do not have to obey any unconstitutional orders. The order the passengers didn't obey was providing identification papers. Since one of our protected constitutional freedoms is travel across the country without having to have government papers, permission, or identification, this was an unlawful order.
I hope the Jones County Sheriff and deputies get sued and held accountable for trashing the constitutional rights of US citizens. You can read more about it at Motor Home Diaries.

Rush, Hannity, and Beck are all Wussies
Michael Savage, the number 3 talk show host in the USA, has been banned from traveling to England, because some hatefully leftists are afraid that taking his opinions out of context, will upset the Muslim population, and lead to violence.
Voltaire said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Rush, Hannity, Beck, the RNC and most of the media wether liberal or conservative are silent, on the suppression of one of the great minds of our era. Not only are they not defending Savage, they haven't even mentioned this atrocity.
Law professor and columnists Ellis Washington made a great point about this in his www.wnd.com column today. He closed his article as such:
"It is my prayer that conservative talk radio set aside their fears, jealousies and silent acquiescence to the fascist blacklisting tactics of Britain and unite with Savage's righteous cause, defending freedom of speech and freedom of expression in England, in America and throughout the world."
I agree.

The Two America's
The USA is split, not by rich or poor, black or white, legal or illegal, liberal or conservative. In short ideologically split by those who believe in liberty and those who believe in socialism. It is split by sovereign and slave.
It is divided into two by those who believe that people are sovereign individuals and that our government is made of men and therefore imperfect. As such the government was created with limits not on the rights of individuals but on what government can do in the name of all. That individuals are responsible for themselves and that the government is not responsible to feed, house, and nurture individuals. That as a sovereign individual I am responsible to provide for myself and my family. That what a sovereign has is a product of talent, ambition, labor and the decisions made throughout life. Slaves consider this greed. The Sovereign believes that failures to reach his goals are not the fault of somebody else but his own failure. The Sovereign believes that support comes from her family and friends.
The other part of the USA believes that it is luck not individual effort, ability, and drive that has made people what they are. That everybody through the government should be provided with basic housing, healthcare, food, and even a job. That the people are subservient to the government. That if somebody earns more than the basics that they have an obligation and duty to give that extra to those who's own effort hasn't produced as much. That those who don't provide their excess to others should have it taken from them by the government for the good of all, by force if necessary. Sovereign individuals call this slavery. The slave believes that his failures are the result of luck and circumstance. The slave believes that her support comes from the government.
These two Americas have come about because the men of this country have become spineless and allowed the family structure to bastardized and desecrated. Rather than be men, it was easier to live and let live, than to take the responsibility to maintain standards in their community and families. The general attitude that "As long as I can do what I want, and they leave me alone, who cares what others are doing, it doesn't affect me."
In taking very small steps over a couple of generations, we have allowed our society to march from that of liberty to socialism. It was done by the slow methodical destruction of the family. Men no longer accept responsibility and don't ever question themselves. They don't have to, and are not expected to, be responsible for their actions. This is much easier and takes much less effort than owning up and taking responsibility for ones own actions. The result is that women are now raising children without a mans help. It's created an environment in which a child does not experience a complete upbringing. An environment where one can and does blame everyone else for one’s problems.
The split of the USA into two will not heal itself, nor come back together quickly. Too many of our population have willingly taken the collar of slavery and dependence that government subsidies and provision has given them. Too many are willing to become enslaved to the wishes of the government than take the responsibility for their own lives. Too many who don't know or want liberty. Too many who value even poor healthcare, shelter, food, and entertainment over their freedom. They would rather somebody else decided what's best for them than to put out any effort to take care of themselves.
Sovereign individuals belief that if one is free to enjoy the fruits of their labor, acquire property, determine what's best for themselves and their families then one must be willing to accept the consequences of one's actions or inaction. The size of our population without a work ethic, without a role model of self sufficiency, without belief in themselves has grown to a point that the number of those who take individual responsibility can no longer sustain both themselves and those who don't. This historically unique 200 plus year experiment in individual sovereignty, based on the belief that a person is not owned by the king, and as such individuals not own the products of of their effort, may be comming to an end.
The divide we now have in this once great country is between those willing to take the slavery that socialism offers, and those willing to take the responsibility that freedom requires. I don't believe those in Washington, Republicrat or Demican, really understand that there is a significant part of the USA which is willing to accept responsibility for themselves, and although charitable beyond reasonable expectations, are not willing to sacrifice their sovereignty for what the government is offering.
The question is are enough of us still willing to remain soveriegn?
