On Election Day 2014, Do the Patriotic Thing . . .
November 3, 2014
. . . and don’t vote. (As Tom Woods reminds us in his work on nullification, we’ve tried that strategy for, oh, a couple hundred years, and look where it’s got us).
UPDATE: Andrew M. reminds me of what H.L. Mencken said about voting: “There’s really no point to voting. If it made any difference, it would probably be illegal.” (And as Bob Higgs once said, “the state allows us to have free speech because they know it makes no difference.” Until we secede, that is. That is why secession is the GREAT FEAR of statists everywhere, and why they invariably accuse secessionists of the vilest of motives such as secretly conspiring to bring back slavery — or worse).
