The more I learn about the nature of government, the more bizarre politicians get. This four-minute speech by Barack Obama reaches new heights of irony and baldfaced absurdity. It’s doubletalk. It makes no sense. Mr Obama’s pronouncement is an example of the ongoing statist shell game where everything is reversed – good to bad, right […]
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 […]
Steve over at Delaware Libertarian is a proposing a stimulus package that actually has a chance to work: end taxes. Since the US government funds deficits with debt anyway, what’s the point in wasting money on all the administrative costs of collecting taxes? Just print more money, and let the people keep that 20-50 per […]
I never questioned the legitimacy of governments. Their history is rife with examples of some people using them to initiate violence against others, but I just thought they needed reform – and I thought “mine” was better. How misguided I was.

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 […]
According to BusinessWeek’s Michael Mandel (Is Social Security a Ponzi Scheme?), Social Security has all the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme – except that we can count on harnessing the free dividends produced by inventors of future productivity-increasing technology, thereby extending its sustainability indefinitely and … insert random leap of logic here … magically converting […]
The Libertarian Party has lost its way. We who seek a more libertarian, transparent and effective LP need to work together today to build a replacement LP so we can sweep internal elections next year and quickly put the LP back on track as a force for mobilizing opposition to expanding government power. On the […]
I’m forming the Liberty Media Rapid Response Team. Our mission is to instantly deploy single-issue, activist-support and related media campaigns using both old and new media to get our liberty message out there. I’m the same guy that did 93days.com and libertarianpartycandidates.us. If you’re interesting in doing media stuff – writing, graphic design, web design, […]
I need to issue a correction for my November 13 article LNC Members Speak Out on Executive Session. One more LNC member had responded but I failed to include his responses. See below the responses from LNC Region 6 Alternate Jake Porter. My apologies to Mr Porter. 5 Questions Here are the questions I asked […]
