by Doug MataconisHere’s former Congressman Barr speaking this weekend at the Heartland Libertarian Conference, where he announced the formation of his exploratory committee:
“That men may rightfully be compelled to submit to, and support, a government that they do not want…No principle … can be more self-evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all political freedom … a man, thus subjected to a government that he does not want, is a slave. And there is no difference, in principle — but only in degree — between political and chattel slavery. The former, no less than the latter, denies a man's ownership of himself and the products of his labor; and asserts that other men may own him, and dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their pleasure.” Lysander Spooner

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Honestly, one of the best things that Bob Barr could do to help his campaign is to shave off that mustache of his. It makes him look weedy.
