Since today is the anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights, I thought I might include some quotes from a constitutional scholar, Michael Badnarik( 2004 Libertarian Presidential Candidate)

 

"I am opposed to any individual taxes until we eliminate all of the unconstitutional agencies, and I suspect we wouldn't need a tax after that."

"I find it very offensive when the government tells me what I can and cannot watch. Censor yourself."

"I just want everyone to know that 20,000 gun laws in the United States are unconstitutional. They infringe on your right to protect your life, the lives of your loved ones, and your property."

"If we really want liberty - if we really want liberty - then we need to go out and get it, we need to take it, because nobody is going to give it to us. And we need to do it now."

"NAFTA and GATT have about as much to do with free trade as the Patriot Act has to do with liberty."


"On average, drug prisoners spend more time in federal prison than rapists, who often get out on early release because of the overcrowding in prison caused by the Drug War."


"The government never does anything successfully."


"The question is: how bad do things have to get before you will do something about it? Where is your line in the sand? If you don't enforce the constitutional limitations on your government very soon, you are likely to find out what World War III will be like."


"War doesn't need more participants. It needs fewer participants."


"When the state or federal government control the education of all of our children, they have the dangerous and illegitimate monopoly to control and influence the thought process of our citizens."
