  1. THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIBERTY WWW.YALIBERTY.ORG

  2. WHO OWNS YOU? GOD? YOU? THE GOVERNMENT? YOUR FAMILY?

  3. REGARDLESS, YOU DECIDE!!! Hmm… THIS IS CALLED SELF-OWNERSHIP

  4. Well, as a free being, you have OK, so I am self-owned… I own myself… NATURAL RIGHTS That’s cool, now what? You have the Right to live. LIFE You have the Right to act as you see fit. LIBERTY You have the Right to keep what you make or exchange it freely for things others make. PROPERTY

  5. But… do I have the right to make people respect my authoritay? Nope. All people have the same Rights as you do. Your Rights END where the Rights of another BEGIN RIGHTS: NOT RIGHTS: • Candy • Hats • Secretaries • Authoritay • Facebook • Golf clubs • Battleships • Robots ONCE AGAIN, • LIFE • LIBERTY • PROPERTY

  6. Now wait just a minute! Are you trying to say that people do not have the right to… healthcare?! Yup. You offend me when you steal hard-earned money from people and give it to others for any reason, no matter how noble! All of these have to be produced and therefore do not fall under the category of objective Rights. They have to be voluntarily given or traded for something. • Food • Housing • Healthcare • Education • Entertainment TAKING THEM BY FORCE IS THEFT

  7. LEFT-WING AND RIGHT-WING IDEOLOGIES SEEK TO ROB YOU OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS • COMMUNISM • SOCIALISM • PROGRESSIVISM • FASCISM • NATIONAL SOCIALISM • NEOCONSERVATISM  

  8. Then what is the role of government? • To protect Individual Rights of citizens • To resolve legal disputes • To defend against foreign aggression NOTHING ELSE!! BUT WHY NOOOOT?! BECAUSE NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO INITIATE FORCE OR COMMIT FRAUD AGAINST ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS! NOT EVEN GOVERNMENTS!!! THE PRINCIPLE OF NON-AGGRESSION

  9. I wish there was a country on this earth where our Liberty was defended… *words of consent muffled by hood* There is… our own United States of America… But our love of Liberty has eroded over the years. We care more about being taken care of than about our Liberty.

  10. AMERICAN HISTORY REVISITED GIMME YOUR MONEY! The Declaration of Independence succintly described the manner in which the British despot abused the Colonies through taxes, lack of representation AND DISREGARD FOR NATURAL RIGHTS The result was the American Revolution N O P E

  11. The Founding Fathers got their ideas of government from the Enlightenment philosophes who first articulated the philosophy of liberty. THE U.S. CONSTITUTION WAS COMPILED BASED ON THE VALUES OF LIBERTY!! Thomas Jefferson John Locke Adam Smith Brainzzz… Brainzzz…

  12. So the U.S. government gives us our liberties through the Constitution? That’s why we have our liberties? No! You were born with your natural liberties! Through the Constitution YOU give the government the authority to defend your liberties. The Constitution is not a binding contract on you: it is a binding contract on the government! Really…? OOPS…

  13. And so the United States is the only country in the world where the philosophy of liberty is enshrined in a binding, written Constitution! Yeah! FOR MANY COUNTRIES, STRIVING FOR LIBERTY REQUIRES GREAT CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT. FOR THE UNITED STATES, IT MERELY REQUIRES FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION!!!

  14. BUT HOW DO WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN? JOIN AND HELP US SAVE THE REPUBLIC!
