What I don't get is Howard Stern is upset with Bush but he wants people to vote for Kerry? He should be supporting a Libertarian candidate who truly believes in free speech.

Voting Liberterian is voting for Bush.

What does it matter? Bush = Kerry, there are only minor differences between the two candidates. Both would perpetuate big government while in office, only difference is Bush would continue to reduce taxes and rack up big deficits while Kerry would just erase Bush's tax cuts and pay directly.

In any event, unlike all the sheeple I stick to principles. No "lesser of two evils" B.S. for me.



Let's see here both Kerry and Bush would:

1. Do nothing to repeal the 16th amendment and abolish the IRS.
2. Do nothing to get rid of the Federal Reserve and the banking cartel.
3. Do nothing to start getting rid of social security.
4. Do nothing to reduce the size of government by any sizeable amount.
5. Do nothing to end the plague called public education.
6. Do nothing to end entitlement programs.
7. Do nothing to end corporate welfare.
8. Do nothing to end foreign aid.
9. Do nothing to end military welfare for other countries and pull U.S. troops out.
10. Do nothing to end the judgment of individual citizens based on government's perception of their role in society. (i.e. tax incentives for this group and that group, military conscription, social security, income security, medicare, drug benefits....)

So as you can see statism will be perpetuated under both Bush and Kerry, only slight difference is their type of statism.

Kerry would not establish a monarchy either. If you want do not Bush to be re-elected you will not vote for either the Green or Libertarian parties.

As far as I can tell, the Libertarian agenda as stated above is as realistic in this country as trying to establish a monarchy. It is not going to happen without a revolution.

But of course this is off topic for this thread....

Its going to happen, if it takes 100 years people will finally discover how decadent government really is. Just as people have made discoveries in science and other areas relating to how the world really is. I think the movement is going to be fueled by the technology revolution, people are adopting individualism at a rapid clip. Membership in organizations is declining and the tax gap is increasing.

When the technology revolution allows people to start hiding their income and assets individualism will become imminent. Its only a matter of the banking bureaucracy and the anti-banking secrecy act succumbing to its long awaited death. People who adopt individualism and feel detached from society will start thumbing their nose and saying: "Tax me if you can." (some already have, but that's kind of a different story).

Perhaps some have already foreseen this. Case in point, from fractional reserve banking to warehousing a bankster went legit:

James Turk - Founder (of goldmoney.com)
James Turk has specialized in international banking, finance and investments since graduating in 1969 from George Washington University with a B.A. degree in International Economics. His business career began at The Chase Manhattan Bank, which included assignments in Thailand, the Philippines and Hong Kong. He subsequently joined the investment and trading company of a prominent precious metals trader based in Greenwich, Connecticut. He moved to the United Arab Emirates in December 1983 to be appointed Manager of the Commodity Department of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a position he held until resigning in 1987.

Since 1987 James Turk has written The Freemarket Gold & Money Report, an investment newsletter that publishes twenty issues annually. He is the author of two books and several monographs and articles on money and banking.

GoldMoney is basically an online currency that is backed up by a warehouse of gold. Essentially its just like storing gold in a warehouse and getting a warehouse receipt for it, but in this case the receipt is electronic and can instantly be sent to anyone in the world.
