Let Liberty Ring: About Us

This is the official site of Let Liberty Ring, a pro-liberty site for those pro-Liberty activists who want to read a news site that is 100 percent dedicated to the ideals of human liberty, but from a left-libertarian, mutualist, agorist, and voluntaryist perspective. Bloggers who are not left-libertarians are allowed to blog on here but should know that this site is for those of the Kevin Carson, Brad Spangler, and Sheldon Richman persuasion. This is a site for those who want to read and blog about current events and philosophical ideas from the left-libertarian perspective. Let Liberty Ring (LLR) is the left-libertarian answer to Lew Rockwell's blog on the Web.

Here are the contributors to LLR:

Pro-Liberty Poems

Let Liberty Ring
by Teresa A. Bridges-Kemp

Let liberty ring
Throughout this great land
Let liberty ring
It’s time for the people to make a stand
Let liberty ring
Let our voices ring clear and true
Let liberty ring
Our freedoms are up to me and you
Let liberty ring
Like our forefathers wrote about
Let liberty ring
Let it give its mighty shout
To allow liberty to be a reality
We must wake up and stand
For all that we know and believe
We the people are the ones who have control of this land
And our own sweet Liberty!

Words of Wisdom from LLR Publisher and Editor Todd Andrew Barnett

"A society that embraces the conventional wisdom saying that government is the be-all and end-all to every problem in the world is a society that embraces tyranny, violence, theft, and the initiation of force against our neighbors." -- on the American people's support of the state.

"A society operating under the paradigm of a true unrestricted free market and without a state is the society that best achieves liberty." -- on what human liberty should mean to American society and the entire world.

Pro-Liberty Quotes

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." -- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to William S. Smith, November 13, 1787
