Yes we did...


...start new unconstitutional, unnecessary wars
...steal from the poor and middle class and redistribute their income to favored corporations and industries
...borrow $5+ trillion on the heads of generations yet to be born
...kill countless innocent civilians in drone strikes in countries we are not even at war with
...bail out banks and financial institutions who took bad risks and profited from the losses of Americans
...arrest, imprison and ruin the lives of thousands of Americans for the victimless (non)crime of ingesting a substance not approved by government
...spy on American citizens and further trample civil liberties
...expand the U.S. military empire spanning the globe
...continue to detain people indefinitely in a prison in Cuba (of all places!) without due process
...further entrench the executive-as-dictator, imperial presidency passed down by those who came before
...etc.

The Non-Aggression Principle

"The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence." - Ron Paul


The nightwatchman of liberty says:

"When freedom dies in your heart, no speech, no emotion, not even a reaction to a tyrant can bring it back. But when freedom lives in your heart, no speech and no tyrant can take it away." - Judge Andrew Napolitano
