Here I am sounding off at the Free State Project’s Liberty Forum March 8th. I read my parody of the Facebook TOS controversy. Big thanks to whoever recorded this – my family’s getting a kick out of it.

Liberty is an important value. It gives meaning to life and leads to prosperity. If we aren’t free to follow our hearts and visions, of what use is life?
Ruh-Roh, the Chinese are getting restless about all the money they’ve loaned to the little dictators doing business as “The US Government.” There’s nothing there to back up US debt but the little dictators’ ability to cajole and fool the sheeple into paying their taxes, and the luster has worn off of that strategy lately.

Liberty, today, is like yarn. Many disregard it as obsolete, irrelevant and generally uninteresting. But not in New Hampshire. At the Free State Project’s Liberty Forum in Nashua, NH this past weekend, I found intelligent, personable and dedicated libertarians who practice what they preach by having uprooted themselves and moved to New Hampshire to work […]
Here’s a great interview with Will Buchanan – who walked from Oregon to New Hampshire for liberty last year – about the Free State Project. The Free State Project is an effort to get 20,000 liberty-lovers to move to New Hampshire to take advantage of and protect the state’s already excellent libertarian environment. There are […]
Saying that “our ideals give us the strength and moral high ground,” the Commander-in-Chief issued a bold decree Friday night revising and simplifying the government’s terms of service. “This grand step forward is dedicated to the proposition that all men are equal,” he said during an open-air speech at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

The “Crisis” is not the Crisis!
After reading my many criticisms of the people who do business as “The Government”, a friend of mine asked me what I think Barack Obama should do to resolve this financial “crisis”. I realize the importance of offering not only criticism but also solutions. It’s only fair. To criticize is to go on the offensive. […]
What Guantanamo fans don’t understand is that the torture, the “extraordinary renditions”, the failure to respect the Geneva Convention and the utter disregard for basic human rights tainted the Guantanamo Bay and secret CIA prisons worldwide. Justice needs to be done for the victims of terrorist attacks, says Marine prosecutor Major Jeff Groharing, but what […]
Some love a vigorous exchange of ideas, while others dare not speak too much for fear of revealing the contradictions in their own thinking. I ran into an example of the latter the other day by way of a tax accountant, Joe Kristan, who advocates the creation of a special IRS unit to go after […]
How ironic that Obama’s inaugural theme song is inspired by Abraham Lincoln and called “A New Birth of Freedom”. The title is taken from Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, which he gave after decisively robbing the citizens of the Confederate states of their freedom during the Civil War. A New Birth of Tyranny is more like it […]
