Many years ago, large packs of wolves roamed the countryside in Ukraine, making travel in that part of the world very dangerous. These wolf packs were fearless. They were not intimidated by people nor by any of the weapons available at that time. The only thing that seemed to frighten them was fire. Consequently, travelers who found themselves away from cities developed the common practice of building a large bonfire and keeping it burning through the night. As long as the fire burned brightly, the wolves stayed away.

I personally had some confusion on a Libertarian approach to foreign policy. Throughout my adult life I've swung back and forth on my opinions of how much foreign intervention American should have. This book has helped me clarify my ideas better. This book is a collection of Ron Paul's foreign policy speeches and writings throughout his political career starting in 1977 to 2006. When you study American history you will notice that around 1913 there is a huge change in America's foreign policy.

A Few Declarations of Founding Fathers and Early Statesmen on Jesus, Christianity, and the Bible John Adams SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE; JUDGE; DIPLOMAT; ONE OF TWO SIGNERS OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS; SECOND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES  he general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.

And a few other guys... A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force.

From time to time I encounter various quotes attributed to various members of the Founding Fathers of America, you know that group of self-serving hypocrites Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin. More recently as the new Messiah, Barrack Obama, has ascended to power, the number and frequency of these quotes is increasing, especially those attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

(It turns out he isn’t such a dumb idiot like the media tried to spin him to be. Being a former member of Mensa and decorated vet WW2 vet he probably has a pretty good idea of the ugly truth around us all. - Prothink) “KILL THE BEST GENTILES!” “Tob Shebbe Goyim Harog!” (THE TALMUD: Sanhedrin 59) A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable for he is known and carries his banners openly.
