I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there even be any Social Security benefits left to collect? Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions.

This philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you have. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others.
"You exist in time: future, present, and past. This is manifest in life, liberty, and the product of your life and liberty. The exercise of choices over life and liberty is your prosperity. To lose your life is to lose your future. To lose your liberty is to lose your present. And to lose the product of your life and liberty is to lose the portion of your past that produced it.
"A product of your life and liberty is your property. Property is the fruit of your labor, the product of your time, energy, and talents. It is that part of nature that you turn to valuable use. And it is the property of others that is given to you by voluntary exchange and mutual consent. Two people who exchange property voluntarily are both better off or they wouldn't do it. Only they may rightfully make that decision for themselves.
"At times some people use force or fraud to take from others without willful, voluntary consent. Normally, the initiation of force to take life is murder, to take liberty is slavery, and to take property is theft. It is the same whether these actions are done by one person acting alone, by the many acting against a few, or even by officials with fine hats and titles.
"You have the right to protect your own life, liberty, and justly acquired property from the forceful aggression of others. So you may rightfully ask others to help protect you. But you do not have a right to initiate force against the life, liberty, or property of others. Thus, you have no right to designate some person to initiate force against others on your behalf.
"You have a right to seek leaders for yourself, but you have no right to impose rulers on others. No matter how officials are selected, they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher than those of any other human beings. Regardless of the imaginative labels for their behavior or the numbers of people encouraging them, officials have no right to murder, to enslave, or to steal. You cannot give them any rights that you do not have yourself.
"Since you own your life, you are responsible for your life. You do not rent your life from others who demand your obedience. Nor are you a slave to others who demand your sacrifice. You choose your own goals based on your own values. Success and failure are both the necessary incentives to learn and to grow. Your action on behalf of others, or their action on behalf of you, is only virtuous when it is derived from voluntary, mutual consent. For virtue can only exist when there is free choice.
"This is the basis of a truly free society. It is not only the most practical and humanitarian foundation for human action, it is also the most ethical.
"Problems that arise from the initiation of force by government have a solution. The solution is for people of the world to stop asking officials to initiate force on their behalf. Evil does not arise only from evil people, but also from good people who tolerate the initiation of force as a means to their own ends. In this manner, good people have empowered evil throughout history.
"Having confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal. Using governmental force to impose a vision on others is intellectual sloth and typically results in unintended, perverse consequences. Achieving the free society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act—especially when it is easier to do nothing."

I have a facebook account for a couple of weeks now but I have not really done anything with it.  Today I went on it and met up with some friends.  You can find me at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=743483699

Today I created an account on twitter.com, here if I can remember, I will try to remember to post what I am doing and I will hope that my friends will do the same. My twitter is - http://twitter.com/evryonesacritic

Most presidential candidate are the same, they say things and then they never follow through with them. They want to increase the size size of government which means more taxes and more importantly more control over our lives.  We the people are only to blame for what we have allowed to happen and we need to change this.  Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate that will fix this because is record shows that he will. But we all know it will take more than a presidential candidate to do this, we would have to have in congress and the senate people with the same mind set as Dr. Paul, that mind set that I talk about is Peace, Freedom & Prosperity.

I was sent this video by a friend of mine on youtube its pretty disturbing, in the fact that the drugs that we put in our bodies including vaccines has mercury in them.

Ron Paul's book The Revolution A Manifesto, May 18th Number 1 on the New York Times Best Seller list.

It was also number 1 on Amazon and they sold out of the book it was that popular.

www.mises.org

The Ludwig von Mises Institute is the research and educational center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. Working in the intellectual tradition of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) and Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995), with a vast array of publications, programs, and fellowships, the Mises Institute, with offices in Auburn, Alabama, seeks a radical shift in the intellectual climate as the foundation for a renewal of the free and prosperous commonwealth.

"Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders," wrote Ludwig von Mises, "no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interest, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle."

It is the mission of the Mises Institute to restore a high place for theory in economics and the social sciences, encourage a revival of critical historical research, and draw attention to neglected traditions in Western philosophy. In this cause, the Mises Institute works to advance the Austrian School of economics and the Misesian tradition, and, in application, defends the market economy, private property, sound money, and peaceful international relations, while opposing government intervention as economically and socially destructive.

The U.S. Government has abandoned the Rule of Law as defined by the People via the Constitution.
The numerous crises currently confronting our Republic are not the result of poor political policies.  These evils are the direct result of decades of violations of the U.S. Constitution by our servant Government.
In defiance of the natural Sovereignty of the People,
the Government has steadfastly, and repeatedly, ignored the Petitions of the People seeking Redress for these most egregious violations of their Fundamental Rights and cherished Freedoms.
The tide of history is upon us. Our Liberty may soon be forever lost unless the People rise quickly, peacefully and forcefully to restore Constitutional Order to the Republic.
Thankfully, our Founders left us a powerful, but little-known weapon in the Law to peacefully secure Redress without relying upon fixed elections, corrupted courts or resorting to the exercise of the Right of Revolution embodied by the Second Amendment. 
It's time to get organized and exercise this profound Constitutionally protected Right.  Acta non verba.

My favorite book of all time is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Here are some of Ayn Rand's Quotes in order, number one being my favorite.

1. I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
2. Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone.
3. A government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
4. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
5. Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.
6. Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
7. Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.
8. So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
9. Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.
10. It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

I am new to this and just trying to get my head around how it all works so pardon the errors please :-)

Anyway today, I have been on my channel today that I broadcast on today doing some updates -  www.justin.tv/critic and I often take part in the political chat at www.justin.tv/ronpaul.
