Clay’s Law

When we allow our government to assume the power to give us what we want, we likewise sow the seeds of our demise.

Superman and Freedom

Man, unlike Superman, cannot escape or overcome natural laws, but this has nothing to do with freedom. Man is free to exercise his agency, to make free choices regarding his actions and values, despite "limitations" placed on him by natural laws..

Where is the Hue and Cry?

Under old English Common Law, if you became the victim of a crime you were expected to immediately raise a "hue and cry" or "outcry." Where are the watchmen of the night as politicians seek to implement more socialist schemes?

Announcing LDS Liberty

New podcast devoted to advancing the cause of liberty in light of the principles of the restored gospel. 

Barack Obama’s Inaugural Implosion

Not five minutes into his new presidency, and after having so recently sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution, President Barack Obama pledged to break it.

The Error of Economic Stimulation

Artificial highs will always be followed by deeper and more drastic lows, thus creating a net negative in the aggregate. You can only stimulate for so long before the body shuts down for self-preservation.

NPR’s Adam Davidson on John Maynard Keynes

It is beyond frustrating that we are compelled to submit to leaders who blindingly follow a foolish, immoral, and unproven philosophy with so much at stake. We need another system: the Constitutional system of freedom set up by our founders.

Money-Good, Not Evil

What is wrong with the quote, "Money is the root of all evil"? Whether you know the answer or not, I hope this article points out the subtlety and deception in that common phrase. It is said that Satan is the Great Deceiver, the Great Counterfeiter. William Shakespeare described him as ...

Job Creation Through Fiat

Any attempt to create wealth or employment through government is ultimately more destructive than it is productive. The person who most benefits from such a policy is not the unemployed individual but the (always) vote-seeking socialist president.

The Coming Apostasy of Latter-day Conservatives

Throughout time the Lord has caused Gospel principles to be discontinued when the general body of the Church rejects these teachings.  A similar fate may soon occur to the principles of agency and freedom… Latter-day Saints, in general, appear to be rejecting the principles of agency and freedom.  This rejection may ...

Open Letter to Parents Regarding Home Schooling

America's youth stand on the very edge of a precipice staring down at the possibility of utter destruction, denied of their unalienable rights, their only hope is that their parents wake up and rise to the challenge of returning this nation to its former values through education at home.   

The Hearts of Men in Our Own Land

Christ's admonition to look inward is not relegated only to interpersonal relationships, but also to global politics and policy.

    I’m writing to invite you to join me in “the greatest libertarian show on earth” — FreedomFest — set for July 7-11 at Bally’s Events Center in Las Vegas.

  • The Optimal Size of a Nation

    Experience shows that a very populous city can rarely, if ever, be well governed; since all cities which have a reputation for good government have a limit of population. We may argue on grounds of reason, and the same result will follow: for law is order, and good law is good order; but a very great multitude cannot be orderly.

About LDSFreemen.com

We believe that God has given to every individual the unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and Happiness (Property) as part of the Plan of Salvation. Any violation of these rights, whether by a single individual or a group of people (i.e. government), is immoral and against the will of God. The only just and proper role of government is to protect these rights from the aggression of others.

The Founding Fathers were inspired men whose efforts secured a society with the greatest enjoyment of liberty in modern times. The political environment of freedom they created allowed for the Church of Jesus Christ to be restored and thrive in the last days. Unfortunately, the principles upon which America was founded are under constant attack by "kingmen" (Alma 51:5) all around us. Many Latter-day Saints, either knowingly or unknowingly, support those who would destroy our Lord's work in the latter days.

We seek to educate others about the truth in hope that many more will "awake to a sense of [our] awful situation" (Ether 8: 24-25).
