I am largely in agreement with the 'one issue voter' paradigm (and in fact have been one for some time), but I fear that we are past the point of voting ourselves out of the particularly virulent strain of socialism that afflicts us.

First, it is said that money is the root of all evil. I disagree with the generality, but this is certainly true in the case of leviathan, which simply would not be possible without the dual engines of mass theft known as the income tax and (especially) the Federal Reserve.

These two infernal spigots are the lifeblood of the beast and we will never again be free until they are abolished, because should they remain, even were the State substantially reduced, the means for its resurrection would remain in place.

The regulatory state is the symptom. Legalized mass theft is the cause.

Which brings us to the electorate. Even if the substantial plurality of voters laboring under the delusion that "taxation is the price we pay for civilization" could somehow be enlightened, given the ruthlessness of our rulers, there is little doubt in my mind that leviathan would do anything - and I do mean anything - to protect its jugular.

Should anyone think that the demonization and persecution of our lot that is occurring now is bad, just wait until there is real traction behind starving the succubus.

As BTO once so wisely sang, "you ain't seen nothin' yet".

All this said, however, and as daunting as it may be, this is the fight of our time, it is the good fight, and is absolutely necessary for both ourselves and our posterity to fight it.

But we all need to clearly see the target.

End the Fed.
