To me this is all bollocks.

Either you serve an agenda or are completely BS us..

Linda, you may recall that I gave up voting two years ago. Believe it or not I feel no different! People say I have now lost my right to complain, Hah I say, big baloney to that because I still pay taxes. To top it all off I am an Irish Half Breed North American Native, my original rights are still grandfathered as no one has ever taken them away from my aboriginal people. One thing that no government here in Canada wants to talk about is the term my forefathers were left as and which I take up also, the term is “freeman”. I do not have Status Native rights nor Metis Native rights and nor do I want them, the government would love for people like me to claim these rights as long as I signed on the dotted line. I refuse to fall for that trap, like the deer and moose I cannot be classified as a subject of the government. Borders, humbug, they do not exist for Free People, we are loners and travellers by birth right.

So I say, if the American people want their rights back, take them back! Learn to plant crops and garden again, live within your means, pay less taxes to the devil, enjoy the company of friends without the big worldly impressions and possessions. It will happen anyway, so start right now.

Best Regards, CanadaNorth

Mr. Casey makes a lot of good points but his statement “Soon Obama will have to ask the buffoon he appointed as a science advisor what comes after trillions” is not in keeping with this article. Steven Chu is a Nobel lauret and I think he can run circles around Mr. Casey on anything dealing with science.

No, I didn’t make that up.

As a Free Market/ Hard Money advocate, I have respected your words and work for nearly three decades.

In the mid 80′s, I was personally involved in the “Freedom Movement” and presented a great many lectures on Constitutional Money, Free Market economics and principles of individual liberty as the founding fathers intended.

As you have experienced, I too experienced more than once, an encounter with individuals who said the government should do and pay for just about every thing. Having in my possession, the almighty microphone, this is how I dealt with them.

“Good Sir”, I asked, “Did you have a pleasant dinner this evening before coming to this lecture?”

“Yes I did.” They always answered.

“I am glad to hear of that sir. Tell me good sir, before you had that meal, and all the other meals you have had in your lifetime, did you see ‘government’ out in the fields tilling the soil to prepare It for planting?

“Did you?”

“And did you see government later stooping to plant the seeds in the ground, tending to the soil thereafter, weeding it, watering it, and fertilizing it?”

“And was that government sweating heavily under the hot noon day sun as it planted those seeds?

“And was that government there to harvest that crop? Was the government there to fix the combine when it broke down in the field?”

“And did you good sir, before that, see government saving real money so it could be invested into designing, engineering, and producing the drilling equipment that would make possible bringing in the oil wells needed to power the tractors that till, plant, weed and eventually harvest the grain you have eaten?”

“Good Sir, did you ever really see this thing you call government do any Thing? Did you ever see this government you speak of give birth, bleed, cry in pain, laugh, sweat, invent any thing, suffer disease, be hospitalized, build and repair a road, dig a ditch, or even write a play that moved the hearts of men to do great and wonderful things?

“I not only think not, Good Sir. In fact, I KNOW NOT. Because now every one in this audience understands that the government you speak of does not exist in the real world. Government is an artificial person, a legal fiction that has no body, no heart, and no conscience whatsoever as to what is right or wrong. It neither plants seeds, tends them nor harvests them. Only human beings do those things. Only human beings “pay” for things with the sweat and pain of their mental and bodily labors.

“Good Sir, if you now say to me that government does all those things, then please stand up and describe in physical detail to this audience, the ‘government’ you say you saw doing those acts of labor.

“Government does nothing. Government can only give to another human being, what it steals from another. It can only take the harvest from the human beings who do stoop to plant those seeds, tend them, water them and bring them to fruit, and “give” them to another who does not labor.”

“Your government good sir, feeds no one. If we here tonight were all dependent on government to feed us, we would all be starving by the end of the week.

“Therefore, I respectfully suggest to everyone here, the following: The next time and every time you hear someone speak of ‘government’ doing this or that, you ask them do describe this person government that they say they say doing all those things.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it is only human beings who do these things. Human beings call the doing of all useful and productive things WORK, LABOR, the expenditure of HUMAN CAPITAL in the form of physical and mental energy. As government has no physical body, it can never do any useful and productive work for any one.

“So the next time you have a meal that you did not plant or labor to bring to harvest, remember you eat and live because another human being did labor to make it so, and it most certainly was not a person called government.”
