Washington has openly declared its right to unilateral use of force anywhere to uphold its own interests.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done.
I have always been a firm believer in the longstanding American principle of having the right to bear arms and I will remain committed to see that this freedom is not infringed upon, revoked, or limited in any way.
Liberty is the right of doing whatever the laws permit.
Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom.
In line with international law, only the U.N. Security Council could sanction the use of force against a sovereign state. Any other pretext or method which might be used to justify the use of force against an independent sovereign state are inadmissible and can only be interpreted as an aggression.
Freedom is not just declared; it is exercised.
The shaming of Washington, insofar as it is even possible, is a very noble pursuit.
Power tends to corrupt. But the power in Washington resides in Congress, if it wants to use it. It can do anything - it can stop the Vietnam War, it can make its will felt, if it can ever get its act together to do anything.
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
