Supply Side Politics 2.0

"Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." - Ronald W. Reagan

Update on the Follow Up

more passport news

so anyway, our "go-to" guy for Department of State news, Consul-At-Arms has more passport news: Driving to Canada? Time to Get a Passport. US Citizenship Has to be Proven; No Longer Just for Air Travelers.

To excerpt CAA's excerpt:

So, if Aunt Sophie's been bugging you to visit her in Canada and you're looking to cave next year. Don't wait until the last minute to apply for that passport. It can take four to six weeks -- or longer if there's a crush of applications. Expedited service is available for an additional fee.
Yesterday, I noted the fact that I renewed my passport in two week's time, and that a co-worker had a one week turn-around on new passports for his wife and kids.

Yes, I understand that the plural of "anecdote" is not data. I'm just offering up some real world observations.

we'll have words again soon

"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin. " -- Ronald W. Reagan

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe

"The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong." -- Ronald W. Reagan

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -- Ronald W. Reagan




"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." --Thomas Jefferson

    • "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams


    Boycott the New York Times -- Read the Real News at Larwyn's Linx

    "It is in vain, Sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace! -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our breathren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that Gentlemen wish? What would they have?

    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery! Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry [Entire Speech]

    • "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a superior force to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States". --Noah Webster
