ACLU Provides Example of Campaign Finance Law Abuse Deeply frustrated with congressional efforts to impeach President Clinton, Leo Smith last year decided to do more than complain. An experienced Internet user, he did what seemed easiest and most effective: he added a new section to his website to advocate the defeat of his representative and urged voters in his corner of Connecticut to elect Charlotte Koskoff in her stead. …Days later, Koskoff's campaign manager contacted Smith -- not to thank him but to warn him of the possible legal problems he might face over the site. Smith soon learned he had entered the twilight zone of campaign finance regulations.

How I became a Christian Libertarian I wish more Christians would realize that initiating coercion to achieve desirable social goals is out of accord with true Christianity (see Rev. 3:20, which I will discuss below).

preventative medicine, or protecting people from communicable diseases.
It is about the aggrandizement of the state, period, and the threat of an
influenza outbreak is simply the hook that government officials use to
expand the powers of the political classes. All else is irrelevant."

Who makes the rules?  Joseph Farah "Men must be controlled by God and His law, not by the government," says Moore. "What happens when the Ten Commandments are taken from our lives is that control over men is lost and the government then comes in to regulate everything." …Instead of men governing their own lives guided by the moral standards of the Bible, arbitrary government force becomes the decisive factor in the life of society. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36467

Why the Cherokees allied themselves with the southern states in the U.S. Civil War - The issues as the Cherokees saw them were 1) self-defense against Northern aggression, both for themselves and their fellow Confederates, 2) the right of self-determination by a free people, 3) protection of their heritage, 4) preservation of their political rights under a constitutional government of law 5) a strong desire to retain the principles of limited government and decentralized power guaranteed by the Constitution, 6) protection of their economic rights and welfare, 7) dismay at the despotism of the party and leaders now in command of the U. S. Government, 8) dismay at the ruthless disregard of commonly accepted rules of warfare by the Union, especially their treatment of civilians and non-combatants, 9) a fear of economic exploitation by corrupt politicians and their supporters based on observed past experience, and 10) alarm at the self-righteous and extreme, punitive, and vengeful pronouncements on the slavery issue voiced by the radical abolitionists and supported by many Northern politicians, journalists, social, and religious (mostly Unitarian) leaders.  http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/scruggs4.html
