Liberty Speaks

Hello everybody. My name is Nicholas Rundlett. I'm not an exceptional writer, a philosophical genius, or a wealthy business tycoon with money to toss at any problem. I find myself making mistakes almost every day in my life. I'm a tad bit clumsy, I'm always forgetting things, and I probably spend more time on the computer researching the nature of liberty and tyranny than I do partying, and doing keg stands, which is somewhat unusual for people my age. I do, however, possess one strong asset: a sharp mind. I've been lucky enough to evade the pervasive brainwashing and programming of the Hollywood media complex. I was raised properly and prefer non-genetically modified, organic, whole foods over the traditional modern American diet of processed, nutritionally barren trash. And lastly, I have been graced, not by my public schooling education, but by the internet, with the discovery of something that I find to be truly exciting: Liberty.

Liberty Speaks to all audiences. It is not restricted in its popularity by cultural boundaries, gender lines, racial groups, or individuals of any one specific sexual orientation. There aren't too many other things that all humans adore other than air, water, and well, intercourse. Liberty is required firstly to properly enjoy all other necessities of life. If one is restricted by the threat of force, fraud, or coercion that tyranny establishes before enjoying any of our core human needs, the quality of those needs are diminished significantly. Simply put: nobody likes to be messed with. Nobody wants their neighbor peering through their windows, or their government peering through their webcams. Nobody wants to defend themselves against a thief with a gun, whether or not the thief has an IRS badge in his wallet. However, everybody out there can appreciate individual freedom of choice - choice in the market, in the workplace, in the kitchen, in the , in the bedroom, or in what you put into your own body.

The purpose of me engaging in this sort of activism (if you can call it that) isn't for my own personal fulfillment or benefit. It's for yours. If you'll listen, you'll like what you hear when Liberty Speaks to you. You'll love the rush of self-empowerment, the peace of self-ownership, and the sense of mutual respect for all human beings that comes from learning libertarian principles. Starting today, I'm going to begin to discuss political issues, cover the historical basis of liberty and humanity's perpetual struggle to achieve it, and engage readers to critically think about their positions on key issues such as gun ownership, healthcare, war, and size of government. I want you to hear the message of liberty. I want you to excel in all things you engage in in your personal lives, influenced and guided by a fundamental understanding of moral principles based in libertarian thought. Unbuckle your seat belts and ride free with me, your tour guide to liberty.
