Have we really gone too far?

Have you heard people talk like this?

"There won't be much left by the next election. At the rate they're destroying the country, I don't see that we have much time . . . "

"The way things are going . . . we're already elected our last POTUS . . . "

Do you think our free society has passed the point of no return?

The American Reader does not think so. As the Reader has said before, had John McCain been elected instead of Obama, we would be heading slowly and steadily in the same direction we are heading right now.

The Tea Party movement would not exist. The conservative movement would still be effectively marginalized by the media and the political parties. The slow and steady course would not have awakened the sleeping opposition.

This crisis of government is the opportunity of your lifetime to reclaim the Constitution, the Congress, the States, and the Presidency for the cause of American Liberty.

People who say "It's over," really don't know what "it" is.

It is our inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.


It will never be over.


The American Reader keeps coming back to Discovery of Freedom, the great work by Rose Wilder Lane:

"Very few Europeans have ever known what liberty is. All the others take it for granted that Authority controls individuals. When they say 'a free country,' they mean a country not conquered by foreigners . . . When they speak of liberties, they mean what an American means when he asks, 'May I take the liberty?' They mean a permission, granted to them, to do a certain act . . . Freedom is not a permission granted by any Authority. Freedom is a fact. Whether or not this fact is known, freedom is in the nature of every living person, as gravitation is in the nature of this planet. Life is energy; liberty is the individual control of human life-energy. It cannot be separated from life. Liberty is inalienable; as I cannot transfer my life to anyone else, I cannot transfer my liberty, my control of my life-energy, to anyone else . . . This fact is not recognized when individuals submit to an Authority that grants them 'freedoms.'" (from Discovery of Freedom, by Rose Wilder Lane http://mises.org/books/discovery.pdf)
