Thanksgiving From Matthew A. Givens
Thanksgiving, far from being the simple and uninspiring story of a group of
people learning how to farm, is actually a celebration of what has made
America itself great. It is the story of people working together by working
for themselves first, and in so doing, improving the standard of living for
everyone. These are the American ideas we hold dear.
As you sit down to your table laden with turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie,
remember the true story of Thanksgiving, and what it means to all.

More From Lew Rockwell
The State, for the Fascist, is the ideal organization for realizing a societys and an individuals potential economically, socially, and even spiritually. Individual rights, and the individual himself, are strictly subordinate to the States great and glorious goals for the nation. In foreign affairs, the Fascist Attitude is reflected in a belligerent chauvinism, a contempt for other peoples, and a society-wide reverence for soldiers and the martial virtues.

From Paul Craig Roberts
The conclusion that JFK was murdered by a plot involving the Secret Service, the CIA, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been well established by years of research, such as that provided by James W. Douglass in his book, JFK And The Unspeakable.

From Martin Luther King
"As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery."

From William Ebenstein
History is a vast graveyard filled with "realists" like Napoleon, William II, Hitler, and Mussolini. They all underestimated the important imponderables in the equation of power but missed, in particular, the one component that in the end proved decisive: The will of man to be free, to put freedom above all other goods, even above life itself!!

From Hunter S. Thompson,
"Coming of age in a fascist police state will not be a barrel of fun for anybody, much less for people like me, who are not inclined to suffer Nazis gladly and feel only contempt for the cowardly flag-suckers who would gladly give up their outdated freedom to live for the mess of pottage they have been conned into believing will be freedom from fear." "There are always risks in challenging excessive police power, but the risks of not challenging it are more dangerous, even fatal."

From Albert Jay Nock
The objection to politics and politicians, the primary indictment against all their works and ways, is that they spoil life. Human life is naturally a lovely, enjoyable, attractive thing. We are all conscious that if we could only be left alone, life would be glorious and desirable and we could do almost anything with it. But the politicians never let us alone; and while we are all busily trying to do our poor best with our lives under such throttling conditions as they put upon us, they are busily trying to thwart us.

From Ludwig von Mises
The greatest threat to the future of our nation -- to our freedom -- is not foreign military aggression..but the growing dependence of the people on a paternalistic government. A nation is no stronger than its people and the best measure of their strength is how they accept responsibility. There will never be a great society unless the materialism of the welfare state is replaced by individual initiative and responsibility.

"We love being the country that freed the slaves, but we are not so fond of being the country that had the biggest slave system on the planet."

From John Carpenter
"I am disgusted by what we have become in America. I truly believe there is brain death in this country. Everything we see is designed to sell us something. The only thing they want to do is take our money."

From Beverly Blanchard
Although there has been a significant amount of emphasis on the Law of Attraction, I believe the Law of Assumption is really the cornerstone in creating your reality. Under the Law of Assumption, the world that you see depends not so much as what is there but the assumptions you make when you look at it. Your assumptions are that which you believe, feel, think and consent to.

Wisdom From Anonymous
The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title.

From Thomas Gordon
Let us therefore, without regarding the ridiculous, narrow, and dishonest notions of selfish and inconsistent men, who say and do contradictory things, make general liberty the interest and choice, as it is certainly the right of all mankind; and brand those as enemies to human society, who are enemies to equal and impartial liberty.

"People know that if they rob a bank they will go to jail; Bankers should know that if they rob people they will go to jail too."

More From Thomas Paine
"O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only the tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia and Africa have long expelled her. Europe regards her like a stranger and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive and prepare in time an asylum for mankind."
