“Government is good at one thing: It knows how to break your legs, hand you a crutch, and say, ‘See, if it weren’t for the government, you wouldn’t be able to walk.’” ~ Harry Browne

Harry Browne, former presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, is one of the more quotable figures to come directly out of the liberty movement in the past several decades. Listen to this brilliant man dismantle conventional wisdom about government and the economy:

Gary Johnson: Let’s Stop Being Sheep http://davidkretzmann.com/2012/06/gary-johnson-lets-stop-being-sheep/ http://davidkretzmann.com/2012/06/gary-johnson-lets-stop-being-sheep/#comments Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:35:57 +0000 David Kretzmann http://davidkretzmann.com/?p=1374

“How is it that we line up like sheep at the airport and let the government grope us in ways that would get anybody else in the country fired or arrested? I say enough is enough. Let’s stop being sheep.” ~ Gary Johnson

Barring a miracle at the Republican Convention in Florida this August, Gary Johnson will be the only antiwar presidential candidate who dares challenge the status quo (including the TSA’s invasive and unconstitutional “security” practices). Learn more at GaryJohnson2012.com.

Jesse Ventura endorsed Gary Johnson earlier this week on CNN:

Why the Military Supports Ron Paul (11.11.11) http://davidkretzmann.com/2011/11/ron-paul-veterans-for-peace-11-11-11/ http://davidkretzmann.com/2011/11/ron-paul-veterans-for-peace-11-11-11/#comments Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:16:02 +0000 David Kretzmann http://davidkretzmann.com/?p=824 Of all the 2012 presidential candidates, none is more mocked and misunderstood when it comes to foreign policy than Ron Paul. Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy is repeatedly misinterpreted as a radicial isolationist view. Interestingly, the military donates more money to Ron Paul than any other candidate (including President Obama).

So far in this election cycle, Ron Paul has received more than $100,000 from active duty military personnel. Obama has brought in nearly $69,000. Military donations to all other GOP candidates combined still comes up short of Ron Paul’s tally.

Surely the people accusing Ron Paul of being a radical and fringe thinker with foreign policy aren’t going to accuse the troops of the same thing. There is a reason the military supports Ron Paul. Here are two videos I made to help explain why.

Meeting Gatewood Galbraith at Berea College http://davidkretzmann.com/2011/10/meeting-gatewood-galbraith-at-berea-college/ http://davidkretzmann.com/2011/10/meeting-gatewood-galbraith-at-berea-college/#comments Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:58:06 +0000 David Kretzmann http://davidkretzmann.com/?p=781 Gatewood Galbraith is an independent candidate for governor of Kentucky. He has received the endorsements of Willie Nelson, the Green Party, and the Constitution Party. The man is principled, dedicated to individual liberty, and is a shining example of what we need in America today. It was a pleasure to meet him and hear his ideas.

Upon seeing the “Ron Paul Revolution” T-shirt I was wearing, Galbraith said, “I wrote in Ron Paul for president.”

Treat yourself to twenty minutes of this independent thinker’s thoughts on drugs, education, debt, and a variety of issues plaguing Kentucky and America as a whole. We need more Gatewood Galbraith’s.
