They can’t help it. The Yankee mindset to meddle and tell others how to live their lives is something that the empire can not resist. In the latest (as of this morning), the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is planning on scrutinizing blogs that make false claims. The agency wants the power to go after bloggers and the companies that support them. On the surface, the power grab looks like consumer protection. Rather than allow the free market to do its thing, they interfere. I suspect it is really about increasing government control and wanting to circumvent any way people have found of making money that they do not have a way to control. In many ways, it is a backdoor way to monitor and control the content on the internet, all in the name of “Consumer Protection”. The agency is trying to find ways of watering down free speech.
It is not by accident that in front of this agency, there are two large statues of men restraining strong horses. This is to symbolize the restraint of trade. Well, that is what they are seeking to do, to restrain and control trade, in areas they have no business meddling in.
What I can tell you is that any product endorse here (other than my books), I do not receive any kickback or renumeration for. The endorsements are my opinions. SO when you buy books from Walter D. Kennedy or Al Benson, I do not receive anything for them. They are good books which should be on every self-respecting Southron’s shelves. I can also recommend Texana Cigars in Chappel Hill Texas. They have a find product. I can recommend Dr. Hill’s books on Scottish history. The old adage, “Buy the truth and sell it not” is very true concerning finding factual history of Texas and the South. You need a history that you can depend on. You need a history that does not ridicule your faith, your heritage or your ideals. You need a set of facts that you can count on in debates. You need good history.
Liberty for Texas and the South!
