The Moss Liberty Network:
A Statement of Values, Beliefs, and Principles

By Richard Moss MD

The Moss Liberty Network convened recently for its inaugural meeting.  The network is a constitutional, freedom loving organization that embraces liberty, God-given, inalienable rights, and limited government.  It endorses our Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and considers these landmark documents among the greatest achievements of mankind.  They champion, as we do, free speech, religious liberty, the right to bear arms, due process, private property rights, separation of powers, and states rights, also known as federalism.

We uphold the Judeo-Christian foundation of the nation, believe in the sanctity of life, and are defenders of the Enlightenment and Western Civilization. America, we believe, represents the summit of the Western tradition precisely because it is founded on the principles of Judeo-Christian belief, which holds that every individual has inalienable rights based on the biblical injunction (Genesis 1:27) that each of us is created in the image of God.

While other nations maintained longstanding norms and tribal creeds that concentrated power in the hands of one or a few, the framers embraced the opposite – radical, unprecedented ideas such as the rule of law, personal liberty, and free markets that dispersed power away from government and to the individual.
Ours was a nation unencumbered by a history of monarchy, aristocracy, or feudalism. From its inception, our country was founded on liberty and individual sovereignty. As such it became the freest and most prosperous nation on earth, the flower of Western Civilization, and model for the world.

We consider the left a mortal threat to the nation. There exists an unholy alliance between the left and radical Islam to undermine and ultimately overthrow our great and unique nation. We will defend the country against these twin threats. Like-minded individuals should join in our crusade to protect this nation from its myriad threats both from abroad and from within.

We believe that the election of Republican Donald Trump for President was providential and saved the country from slipping into a death spiral from which it would not have recovered.  We support “America First” in all affairs pertaining to American workers, families, and citizens, and in all national and international matters including national security, foreign policy, trade, commerce, resources, jobs, healthcare, energy, education, science, technology, culture, borders, and immigration.  Having said that, we note that the Liberty Network will not shrink from criticizing President Trump if and when he betrays these essential doctrines.

We seek also to strengthen the Republican Party philosophically and morally, to ensure that it upholds constitutional, limited government, and free market principles, and endeavors to restore our culture, language, and traditions.  We understand that the Republican Party is the natural vehicle for limited government, free-market conservatives, but that it has been a very flawed vehicle.  We will carefully monitor its positions, policies, voting record, spending, and general behavior and attitude.  We will demand that it energetically and courageously protect and advance America’s core doctrines.

We will petition the Republican Party to secure our borders, end mass third world immigration, and promote immigration policies that place American interests first, not the interests of immigrants or the often failed nations they are fleeing.

We call for the end to all illegal immigration and a drastic reduction in legal immigration if not a complete moratorium with certain limited exceptions.

We uphold the patriotic, melting pot theory of assimilation, e pluribus unum, from many one, a nation of individuals with one language, culture, and way of life. We demand that prospective immigrants embrace our American system, seminal documents, history, traditions, and guiding principles.

We reject multiculturalism and the cult of “diversity,” and the Pagan-Marxist effort to tribalize the nation into competing races, genders, classes, and ethnicities, a divisive and destructive path.

We believe in a nation of individuals, each with inalienable, God-given, Constitutional rights, not a nation of tribes and victims competing for government favors and preferential treatment.

We will endeavor to restore our schools, colleges, popular culture, media, and other institutions of education, culture, and opinion that enjoy great influence and power over our youth and all Americans so they defend American values and principles as outlined in our founding documents, recognizing the extensive damage already done to these institutions by the Pagan Marxist Left.

Marriage has been and always will be defined as the union of a man and woman based on obvious biological and natural requirements for procreation, which is the ultimate purpose of marriage. We hold that the traditional intact married 2-parent family has been and always will be the indispensable institution upon which a vibrant and robust civil society is based.

We hold that faith and belief in a moral God who judges us, is critical to a healthy and moral society. We believe that this nation is founded on the Judeo-Christian tradition and that America is and always has been a Christian nation – a Christian nation that has welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds to our shores.
The Liberty Network will reach out to all people and communities to join our movement, to embrace liberty, limited government, and individual rights as codified by our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The promotion and advancement of America’s interests and way of life in all things is the Liberty Network’s overriding and foremost concern.

DON’T JUST REFORM TAXES, CUT THEM

By Ron Paul

Many Americans who have wrestled with a 1040 form, or who have paid someone to prepare their taxes, no doubt cheered the news that Congress will soon resume working on tax reform. However, taxpayers should temper their enthusiasm because, even in the unlikely event tax collection is simplified, tax reform will not reduce the American people’s tax burden.

Congressional leadership’s one nonnegotiable requirement of any tax reform is “revenue neutrality.” So any tax reform plan that has any chance of even being considered, much less passed, by Congress must ensure that the federal government does not lose a nickel in tax revenue. Congress’s obsession with protecting the government’s coffers causes reformers to mix tax cuts with tax increases. Congress’s insistence on “offsetting” tax cuts with tax increases creates a political food fight where politicians face off over who should have their taxes raised, who should have their taxes cut, and who should have their taxes stay the same.

One offset currently being discussed is an increased tax on imports. This “border adjustment” tax would benefit export-driven industries at the expense of businesses that rely on imported products. A border adjustment tax would harm consumers who use, and retailers who sell, imported goods. The border adjustment tax is another example of politicians using tax reform to pick winners and losers instead of simply reducing everyone’s taxes.

When I was in Congress, I was often told that offsets do not raise taxes, they simply close loopholes. This is merely a game of semantics: by removing a way for some Americans to lower their taxes, closing a loophole is clearly a tax increase. While some claim loopholes are another way government distorts the market, I agree with the great economist Ludwig von Mises that “capitalism breathes through loopholes.”

By allowing individuals to keep more of their own money, loopholes promote economic efficiency since, as economist Thomas DiLorenzo put it, “private individuals always spend their own money more efficiently than government bureaucrats do.” Instead of making the tax system more “efficient” by closing loopholes, Congress should increase both economic efficiency and economic liberty by repealing the income tax and replacing it with nothing.

The revenue loss from ending the income tax should be “offset” with spending cuts. All federal spending, whether financed by taxes or by debt, forcibly removes resources from the private sector. Thus, all government spending is in essence a form of taxation. Therefore, cutting income and other taxes without cutting spending merely replaces one type of taxation with another. Instead of directly paying for big government via income taxes, deficit spending means citizens will be hit with an increase in the inflation tax. This tax, imposed on the people with the Federal Reserve’s monetization of debt, is the worst form of tax because it is both hidden and regressive.

Unfortunately, while Congress may make some small cuts in domestic spending, those cuts will be dwarfed by spending increases on infrastructure Keynesianism at home and military Keynesianism abroad. As long as Congress refuses to make serious reductions in spending, the American people will be subject to the tyranny of the IRS and the Federal Reserve.

The suffering will only get worse when concerns over government debt cause the dollar to lose its status as the world reserve currency. This will lead to a dollar crisis and a major economic meltdown. The only way to avoid this fate is for the people to demand a return to limited government in all areas, sound money, and an end to the income tax.

Navy Sailor Refuses To Stand For National Anthem – IMMEDIATELY Regrets It.

WRITTEN BY DAVID MILLER of the 92 UCMJ

A former Navy intelligence specialist recently took a page out of Colin Kaepernick’s playbook and refused to stand for the national anthem during morning colors. However, she quickly learned she’d made a huge mistake.

Conservative Tribune reported that Petty Officer 2nd Class Janaye Ervin was stripped of her security clearance and assigned to menial labor for a few days before she was forced to leave the Navy for disrespecting our country so blatantly.

It all started on September 19, when Ervin refused to stand for the anthem when she was on reserve duty at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii. The International Business Times reported that Ervin claimed she was trying to make a statement about blacks being persecuted in the United States by doing this. “I just didn’t want to stand at that moment,” Ervin said. “I can’t stand for this song knowing that the song isn’t for me, being black. The song doesn’t represent me at all. To be honest, I never really thought about the flag my entire life, I had no reason to. It’s just a flag.”

The next day, Ervin’s superiors read her her rights and gave her a warning about potentially compromising her security clearance, which she needed for both her military and civilian job. One day after that, she was stripped of her security clearance and escorted out of the secure area where she was working.

Ervin is now claiming that she was never told which order she was violating, but this is clearly a lie since she violated the 10th general order for sentries, which is taught in Navy boot camp. All members of the Navy are forced to memorize all 11 general orders in bootcamp, and they are aware that violating any one of them is subject to Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and is subject to whatever punishment is decided by court-martial.

On September 21, Ervin took to Facebook to publicly whine about how “unfair” this has been for her. “The Navy has decided to punish me for defending the Constitution and has taken away my equipment I need to do my Naval job,” she wrote, according to PopularMilitary.com.

EDITORS FOOTNOTE: Hey, Janaye, the Navy did not take ANYTHING from you – you forfeited your own job when you knowingly violated a general order. SHARE this story if you think she got what she deserved!

Gene and Roy ‘s movies, As well as those of other great characters,
can be bought or rented for viewing, today ‘s kids would rather
spend their time playing video games.
Today it takes a very special pair of parents to raise their kids with
the right values and morals.

These were the great heroes of our childhood, and they did teach
us right from Wrong, and how to have and show respect for each
other and the animals that share this earth.

You and I were born at the right time.
We were able to grow up with these great people even if we
never met them.

In their own way they taught us patriotism and honor,
we learned that lying and Cheating were bad,
and sex wasn’t as important as love.

We learned how to suffer through disappointment and failure
and work through it. Our lives were drug free.

So it’s good-bye to Roy and Dale, Gene and Hoppy,
The Lone Ranger and Tonto.
Farewell to Sky King and Superman and Sgt. Friday.
Thanks to Capt. Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers and Capt. Noah
and all those people whose lives touched ours,
and made them better.

It was a great ride through childhood.

HAPPY TRAILS MY FRIENDS

FOOTNOTE: The museum was in a low overhead sight in Texas. The son moved it to a high rent location in Branson. That is why it is gone forever.
