The Frugal Libertarian

Here are two articles that made me say “What the fuck is this world coming to”.

State to mom: Stop babysitting neighbors’ kids.

Kids can’t walk or bike to school.

I often hear people ask “what freedoms have we lost” whenever they are supporting the government. My answer is always that I would rather list the freedoms will still actually have, because that is a shorter list, but the above articles are two great examples of the state over stepping their boundaries and trampling individual liberty.

Anyone who is still under the delusion that we are not living in a police state should watch this video.  The voice in the background telling people to disperse is very creepy.  Watch at about 3min as bystanders get maced.

Okay, maybe it is rude to interrupt someone while they are giving a speech, but it is more rude to lie to the American people and then steal more of their money to pay for the program you lied about, so I thought it was awesome when Rep. Joe Wilson heckled Obama during his healthcare speech. Anything that undermines the president (or any government official) is a plus in my book. What was not awesome was his immediate apology. What a pussy! It would have been the perfect time to put a nail in the coffin of Obama’s horrible healthcare plan.   Rep. Wilson should have presented a draft of a bill that clearly stated that illegal immigrants would get coverage. This would have completely undermined the president and his plans, but we got an apology instead. Decorum over truth I guess.
