Child pornographers, tax evaders, and, of course, terrorists.  From Techdirt.

Contrary to a main pillar of the State’s religion, there is no trade-off between liberty and security.

From Sheldon Richman’s blog.  Relevant chunks:

“Neither Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist, nor Donald Trump, the self-described terrific businessman, knows squat about economics. If their polices were enacted, regular working people would be harmed.

This is most clear with trade. Sanders and Trump are flaming protectionists, which means they peddle perhaps the oldest, most-thoroughly discredited economics doctrine ever spoken. (An older fallacy may be that an economy can grow by creating purchasing power from thin air.)

Observe: what Sanders and Trump seek to protect us from is low-priced useful products made outside the United States. Crazy, right? Our living standard depends on the ease with which we can choose from a growing array of products that make our lives better. Products, then, are an odd thing to promise protection from. In 1886 Henry George exposed the demagoguery inherent in protectionist appeals such as those from Sanders and Trump:

“Trade is not invasion. It does not involve aggression on one side and resistance on the other, but mutual consent and gratification. There cannot be a trade unless the parties to it agree, any more than there can be a quarrel unless the parties to it differ.””

Obama, that is.

Interview with Andrew Bacevich at Democracy Now.

At age 27 she worked to impeach Nixon, now she’s become the Nixon of the Democratic Party.

From Alternet.  Relevant chunks: “Under new guidelines, the FBI is instructing high schools across the country to report students who criticize government policies and “western corruption” as potential future terrorists, warning that “anarchist extremists” are in the same category as ISIS and young people who are poor, immigrants or travel to “suspicious” countries are more likely to commit horrific violence.”

The country faces food, medicine, and electricity shortages.  The government can no longer hide behind $100-per-barrel oil.  From CATO.

There were 47,000 drug overdose deaths in 2014, and over half were from prescription painkillers.  Marijuana prohibition herded those suffering from chronic pain into the clutches of the poison that Big Pharma peddles daily.  Legalize marijuana and those same sufferers will have access to a completely safe painkiller.

“Alarmed by Russia.”  Yeah, right.  From Military Times.

Excerpt from Human Action, posted at Mises.org:

“The truth is that the alternative is not between a dead mechanism or a rigid automatism on one hand and conscious planning on the other hand. The alternative is not plan or no plan. The question is whose planning? Should each member of society plan for himself, or should a benevolent government alone plan for them all? The issue is not automatism versus conscious action; it is autonomous action of each individual versus the exclusive action of the government. It is freedom versus government omnipotence.

Laissez faire does not mean: Let soulless mechanical forces operate. It means: Let each individual choose how he wants to cooperate in the social division of labor; let the consumers determine what the entrepreneurs should produce. Planning means: Let the government alone choose and enforce its rulings by the apparatus of coercion and compulsion.

Under laissez faire, says the planner, it is not those goods which people “really” need that are produced, but those goods from the sale of which the highest returns are expected. It is the objective of planning to direct production toward the satisfaction of the “true” needs. But who is to decide what the “true” needs are?”

Or, put another way, who do those clamoring for greater control over the lives of everyone else despise voluntary interaction?  Why do they desire the ability to drive a wedge in between the voluntary associations of free individuals?
