When Will Americans Stop Being Afraid?

By Liberty Report Staff

As American politicians foam at the mouth in anticipation of dragging us into yet another unconstitutional and unnecessary war in Korea, we may want to ponder a few words from General Douglas MacArthur. 

MacArthur led the first major error of America involving itself in a civil war 6000 miles away from home.

The error had nothing whatsoever to do with defending America. It was pure military adventurism.

After the fact, MacArthur explained how the government keeps the war r...

Why Politicians Lie

Politicians are known to be avid liars. Why is that? The obvious reason is because there are no ramifications. When a politician campaigns, he's not under oath or contract. Legally, he can say whatever gets the votes. Once a government moves beyond the protection of liberty, it becomes a government of, by, and for the greatest liars.

Ron Paul on Rand's Fight Against The Forever Wars

By Liberty Report Staff

Washington is a very poor representation of the American people. Americans are against the carousel of perpetual wars. Every election goes to the candidate that promises to end the senseless militarism.

Of course, it never happens.

Ron Paul discusses Senator Rand Paul's fight against the forever wars:

The Neocon Case Against The Iran Nuclear Deal - One Big Lie!

Why does President Trump listen to Nikki Haley and the neocons as they lie about the Iran deal? The same people and the same lies that brought us the Iraq disaster are trying to bring us an Iran disaster.

Escaping The Victim Mindset

By Liberty Report Staff

Much attention is being paid to Hillary Clinton's excuses for losing the election last year. We've all seen the headlines. She's blaming everyone but herself. But instead of bashing Hillary Clinton the person, it would be much wiser to look at her underlying philosophy and find the errors there.

You see, it makes perfect sense for Hillary to reject personal responsibility for losing. Accepting responsibility would effectively nullify her entire political career.

Clinton's...

Crony defense budget hands SpaceX a monopoly - why?

By Ron Paul

Behind the high-minded rhetoric surrounding many government programs, there often (or even usually) lies some grant of special privilege to a powerful business interest. The most well-known example, of course, is ObamaCare’s individual mandate creating a guaranteed market for insurance companies. However, the most common hiding place for corporate welfare is the Pentagon. Hawkish politicians love sticking gifts to big corporations in the yearly National Defense Authorization Act (N...

Popularity and Majorities Don't Create "Rights"

By Chris Rossini

The media is trying to convince us that "Medicare for All" is popular. They keep repeating it as if popularity is some kind of criteria for truth.

First of all, if something is really popular, there's no reason to incessantly tell us about it.

We would know. It would be obvious.

The "climate change" crowd uses the same exact tactic. They try to ram their statism into our consciousness 24/7, and they're always telling us about "majorities" and "most Americans".

Since when is a "maj...

Sen. Rand Paul Forces Vote On 16 Year Undeclared War

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has forced a debate and vote on his amendment to repeal the authorization for the 2001 war on Afghanistan and 2002 authorization for war on Iraq. His colleagues in the Senate are pulling out all stops to avoid even a debate on the issue. Why?

Cops Are Making Out Like Bandits ... Actually, Better Than Bandits!

By Liberty Report Staff

You know things are backwards when the police are stealing more from American citizens than actual burglars.

Police shouldn't steal at all, but actually stealing more than thieves? Come on!

Have you ever wondered what "civil asset forfeiture" looks like when it happens? Well, someone recently caught a police officer on camera taking a hot dog vendor's wallet, and literally grabbing the cash right out of it.

The hot dog vendor's crime in the "land of the free"?

He didn't hav...

Bannon Reveals The Truth About Trump...It's All About The "American System"

Steve Bannon was recently on 60 Minutes waxing nostalgic about the "American System" of Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln and The Roosevelts. These were all proponents of central banking, corporate welfare, and endless debt. These are the problems that we face today, not the solution. Does Trump agree that we need the status quo?
