I have a car. Millions of citizens do. I don’t use it to kill little old ladies, nor do I drive into IRS buildings or run over squirrels. Not even cats. Because of this noise pollution thing, I don’t even beep my horn much. I mean, I’m not exactly a criminal: I just have a car. I paid a lot of money for it and now it’s mine, reasonably mine. I’m a very rare guy who not only owns a car but also has things to do, and therefore, very little time. I pay taxes. I don’t run red lights. I even respect those speed limits that would have you turn off the engine and push the car. OK. Now I would like to know why you hate me.
Thanks to my car, I have a job, a paycheck, and a life, and I won’t be intimidated by the global left’s hatred for motorized freedom of movement. I understand the resentment. I guess that taking a car and going wherever you want to go, without prior municipal prescription, is liberalism so wild it would make von Mises shudder. I admit it. It’s terrible that any old idiot can own a car. But I do. And for the moment, there is nothing to be done about it. Because as long as I have it, I plan to use it. Even if progressives don’t understand it, my evil plan includes four-wheeled displacement across dozens of streets and cities.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
