Conservatives, going along to get along (with liberals), no longer.
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
There’s this strange situation, or perhaps it’s a condition, where reasonable, polite, want-to-get-along, conservatives, independents, and libertarians, Tea Partiers, sometimes hold back in expressing their enthusiasm for various conservative-libertarian causes or personalities.
When this happens it proves that the left is successful in demonizing any thing and any one it opposes. But there’s an [...]

“Seattle Time’s” Danny Westnead slams Senate Candidate Clint Didier’s way of life.
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
In Danny Westnead’s contentious column, ‘Self-made’ myth divides us (Seattle Times, July 26th, 2010), he seems to come to his keyboard with some mighty preconceived and insulting assumptions about Eastern Washington farmers.
Westnead summarizes Senate candidate Clint Didier’s reason for running for congress as, “…to preserve the America of ‘rugged individualism’ from socialism’s [...]

The corrupt mainstream media
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
Today I quit wondering why the President still enjoys remarkably high poll numbers (actually they are freakishly low after only eighteen months, but still relatively high), considering the damage he and his progressive party have done, and continue to do, to our country, ramming their progressive agenda down American’s throats, as we gasp for [...]

It’s not always about your race, sometimes they just don’t like “you.”
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
The intricacies of race relations can be difficult to discuss, but it must be addressed, if for nothing else, intellectually honest and self-reflection, on both sides. In this instance I refer to the paramount racial intensity in our society, which exists, much of it unnecessarily, between blacks and whites, fostered [...]

Liberty vs. Tyranny: Part-Infinity
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
Sometimes we have to distill a message to really “get” it, but it’s best distilled only after getting as much information as possible about it. The more I read and study American history the more I’m convinced that my position is a correct one, and since it’s the position of Founding Fathers such as [...]

Washington’s new cell phone law is bad law for so many reasons, so where to start? First, and perhaps most ridiculous, is that this law is redundant to begin with and it’s truly flabbergasting how every proponent deftly evades this reality. Laws like this serve only to make law-breakers out of formerly law-abiding [...]

So, now we have a group of some thirty, well known to lesser-known, liberal-socialist advocacy groups calling on the FCC to begin monitoring so-called “hate speech” on talk radio and cable TV. (Read: Rush and FOX News).
This is nothing more than a blatant attempt at censorship—period!
Well, okay, that should be enough said, but I’ll [...]

President Obama and Rep. Sestak Disrespect Fellow Americans.
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
I wasn’t going to address the growing Sestak job-offer scandal, but something about this event fascinates me; this is a real study in how politicians act and react when they’re in freak-out mode. Now I obviously don’t know what happened; I wasn’t in that meeting that everyone seems to agree, at least, occurred, and [...]

I’ve brought this up before, and I’ll probably bring this up again (okay, not probably, I will): How to deal with a powerful political party that wants to restrict your liberty?
Some people, even some on the right, want to “deal” with modern Democrats, to compromise, as if this path is “reasonable.” The problem [...]

Third Parties can Kill Liberty.
Filed Under Libertarian | Leave a Comment
In a day and age where folks, especially political folks, try to complicate issues, often to obfuscate the truth, it’s important to try to keep things in perspective and in context, and more importantly, keep it simple. One problem facing the conservatives, libertarians, and right of center independents is that of their opposing views.
Within [...]
