“Most people have been trained to automatically ask what government allows; what the rules say. They assume they don’t have liberty; otherwise they wouldn’t wait to see what someone says they are allowed to do. They assume someone else owns them and controls their choices. This isn’t healthy and is exactly backward. Everyone should assume their liberty is sacred and will be respected by all decent people everywhere. Assume everyone is decent unless they show you they aren’t by seeking to violate your liberty in some way. Break the mold and assume liberty. Assume you have rights and the freedom to exercise them fully, as America’s founders intended. Assume no one will stand in your way while you are doing what you have a right to do. If they do, it’s how you will recognize them as criminals.” (10/14/26)
