And, who will keep our nation headed down the path that will lead to a collapse of our country as we know it.

There is, of course, the underlying reasons that all of that occurs: people are comfortable with the status quo or profit from it. Americans have bought into the lies perpetuated by a few in the establishment, and even intellectuals and scholars tend now to believe fallacies such as the notion that America could not exist or thrive without the dozens of taxes created in the last 100 years, never mind the fact we did fine without them at some point.

Congressman Paul has a new project, The Campaign for Liberty, which will attempt to get more Libertarian politicians elected. I wish him the best of luck.
