Freedom is foreign to them

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Whether it is the "Reverend" (of what?) Sharpton demanding the FCC shut down Rush Limbaugh or numerous "complaints" to the FCC about Bristol Palin on the Dancing show, the left again shows no concept of liberty. If they don't like a result, or a message or someone simply annoys their fantastical ...

Koch versus Soros

Monday, September 13th, 2010

A Recent comment on one of our articles attempted to compare the Koch Brothers with George Soros. Yes the Koch brothers have given 250 million dollars to candidates, foundations, think tanks etc.  George Soros has given 2 BILLION (8 times as much) to his collectivist causes, at least. While you look up ...

What a difference the years make

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

In a fascinating guide for college instructors, Beloit College makes a list of what incoming freshman consider "normal". I've always been on the bleeding edge of technology but was still taken aback by a couple of these entries. An entertaining and enlightening read for all parents and grandparents.

Moralphobia

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The collectivists love to project upon their political and cultural opponents their own emotions and motivations.  It happens daily.  They call freedom minded people "selfish" yet give far less of their time and money to the needy than the target of their perjorative.  They ascribe "hate" and "fear" towards thinking ...

Telling the Difference

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

We all know nice people who are well meaning and patriotic.  So how do you tell the difference between the ones who value freedom and individual liberty and responsibility from the ones who are placid sheople bleating for "solutions" by government? Here are a few submitted by a reader: If those who ...

The Incendiary Spangled Banner

Friday, May 7th, 2010

It is a sad day when displaying patriotism towards the United States is considered "incendiary".  This is not a left/right or libertarian/statist issue. In San Diego public school children were sent home for refusing to conceal or remove clothing patriotic towards the United States of America. A comment by one of the ...

Praising Arizona

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Arizona has a new law allowing police to stop those suspected of being unlawful immigrants. While I might prefer Michigan to allow for secondary enforcement - checking the citizenship/legal immigrant status of those arrested for other crimes, for example - Arizona is on the ...

Perpetual Racism

Monday, April 12th, 2010

I agree with this author's basic premise.  Racism will be an issue as long as government is in the race business.  Any policy that applies based on race, is weighted based on race or is designed and implemented based on ANY racial criteria perpetuates racism and is itself racist.The media ...

How Free Americans appear to Statists

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

An excellent Townhall commentary gathered the adjectives describing how lovers of American Freedom are perceived by the statist collectivist elites.  We are:Frothing Copper-faced Apoplectic Goons Vigilantes Unglued Homicidal (at least rhetorically) Apocalyptic (not to be confused with apoplectic – see above) Petulant ...
