The Cult of the Omnipotent State

New webpage added today:

The Cult of the Omnipotent State

The basic political philosophy of the Libertarian Party is stated in its Statement of Principles:

We, the members of the Libertarian Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual.

This is a very important statement.

• The Declaration of Independence says our rights come from God. The modern State now claims to be the giver and protector of our rights.
• America used to be a nation "Under God." The modern State now claims it is God.
• Americans used to say, "In God We Trust." In practice, Americans now trust the State rather than God to provide salvation and national security.
• In short, belief in the State has become an idolatrous cult.

Details have already been posted on this blog:
• Is the Republican Party a Cult?
• The Cult of Social Security
• The Cult of "National Security"
• The Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Bush
