On freedom, terrorism and the US.

Statist politicians - who, incidentally, are the imminent threat to the American people - have worked hard to earn our international reputation.  Most of our leaders today are double threats: they afraid of a free population and thus seek to curtail our rights, and simultaneously support isolationism in the most dangerous sense.  Through their constant military, political, and economic interference within our own borders and abroad, they cause the United States to be ostracized by the international community.  Unlike the version of isolationism popular in the early twentieth century, this modern form is a near-permanent decision that is difficult, if not impossible, to undo.
