By Walter Williams

For more than a half-century, it has become abundantly clear that our nation faces increasing irreconcilable differences. At the root is the fact that there is one group of Americans who mostly want to be left alone and live according to the rule of law and the dictates of the U.S. Constitution while another group of Americans wants to control the lives of others and ignore both the rule of law and constitutional restraints on the federal government. Should those Americans who favor the rule of law and constitutional government fight against or yield to those Americans who have contempt for the rule of law and constitutional government? Let's look at a few of those irreconcilable differences.

Some Americans prefer to manage their own health care needs. Others wish to have the federal government dictate their health care. Some Americans want their earnings to be taxed only for the constitutionally mandated functions of the federal government, which are outlined in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Others think American earnings should be taxed for anything on which Congress can muster a majority vote. Though there is no constitutional authority for federal involvement in public education, some Americans want the federal government involved. The list of irreconcilable differences among the American people is nearly without end. These differences survive because of the timidity of those offended and the brute power of the federal government.

I think reconciliation is impossible; therefore, separation is the only long-term peaceful solution. Separation and independence do not require that liberty-loving Americans overthrow the federal government...

His logic is horribly flawed. And he is twisting the discussion with speculation on many things. Hit piece.

Dr. Williams is one of the most reliably sound thinkers on matters pertaining to the Founding ideas of liberty embodied in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution on the economic scene in America for decades.

His ability to articulate those ideas in our confused society makes him a great defender of economic liberty to those who hear him speak or read his books.

Please visit his web site for more examples.

Perhaps a review of The Federalist Papers might be in order for those of us unfamiliar with the Founders’ intent. A good place to start might be the discussion thread from 6 years ago.

Just scroll down. There is a LOT of instructive discussion. There are some very smart folks on this site.

I have watched him on Fox many occasions and have never been impressed with his logic. In the times I have seen him on Fox he seems to consistently take the position opposite the rest of the board like they need someone to attack. And his fighting back normally doesn’t work.

But in summing up his article we saw, his logic is flawed and inconsistent using names and times out of context while blaming the federal government while not placing blame on particular people which is what constitutes the rule of law. There is no such thing as a victimless crime. Someone had to gain an advantage.

Instead of taking advantage of FR to pimp your own website, why don't you link the ACTUAL ORIGINAL STORY AND WEBSITE?

For those who don't want to cooperate in such pimping,

HERE IS THE ACTUAL SITE YOU SHOULD HAVE LINKED INSTEAD OF DIRECTING US TO YOUR SITE
