America is full of wild speculations about the next five to twenty
years. Yet we need something more than speculations: we need realistic
scenarios that are rooted firmly in facts and history, and that can
therefore provide relatively clear maps of the terrain ahead...
Many of
Obama’s supporters have Rousseau-like doctrines that could
make it easy for the new president to spurn the leashes or the Constitution. Most Americans seem to have learned little from the Bush presidency,
aside from the fact that George W. Bush was a liar and a buffoon.
[H]e failed to reach the conclusion which screams from [his] premises: Since men aren’t angels, and since they don’t become angels when they enter into the business of governing, trusting them with that business is a very, very bad idea.
This is great! See how the story of Pinocchio tracks the social trends of the last several generations in this country.

A veritable cornucopia of opinions and articles covering a wide range of today's relevant topics.
Perhaps most Americans deserve the federal government they have. A government that, contrary to the lofty rhetoric of Barack Obama, is pure politics as usual. A government that is as corrupted by moneyed interests as ever. A government that is as dysfunctional and inefficient as ever.
The first manifestation of [resistance] will be huge growth in the
“counter-economy” as the productive class moves more and more of its
activity “off the books” and out of the political class’s systems of
taxation, tribute and regulation.
Americans are getting dumber and dumber and it is resulting in the misuse, abuse and abdication of political power.
The purpose of all, or nearly all, functions of the modern state is
to facilitate and maximize the transfer of wealth from the pockets of
the productive class to the bank accounts of the political class.
By offering sound (in other words, pro-freedom) solutions to the
“social questions” and then demonstrating through failure at the polls
that those solutions will never be implemented through the political
process and political institutions, a libertarian political party can
open the eyes of precisely the people who are in, and need to be led out of, or at least convinced to think beyond, that process.
An Ohio State Study has found that conservatives are more likely to read opposing views and are more open-minded than liberals.
Even so early in the arc of Leviathan’s rise, Proudhon understood that those who rely on the state to secure and protect their interests won’t — can’t — tolerate any true limits on their power, either theoretically or in practice.
He subconsciously or directly tells people their lives today are dire and they have no future. People don't really want to be free because this means taking responsibility. (Mohawk Nation News via email.)
Barney Frank talking like a Libertarian. Is this the Twilight Zone or what? Barney Frank Admits that laws that apply to the general public should also apply to the people in Government. Calls for Pot to be legalized. He even talks about John Locke!
These are among the most fiscally conservative, pro-limited government members of the upper chamber—which is precisely their error, in the eyes of the Chamber. The heroes of the small government cause are the goats of the big business cause.
Beyond the simplistic Liberal v. Conservative or Right v. Left our political and social views are multi-dimentional. Economically we are either to the right or left of center, and socially we are either authoritarian or libertarian. Find out what y
Obama is like Bush because: Obama’s first move is always to reach out to everybody willing to participate in the process, no matter what party they belong to. Obama is like Bush because: Obama gives the political opposition every opportunity imagi
[Details] would be trumpeted at every opportunity, proving to a skeptical public he really had the answers, since concealing rather than revealing pays only when better informed citizens would be more inclined to reject a plan.
"This is the dark side of the Law of Attraction and the evil it can produce, and it appears to be winning at the moment."
Blago told Rachel Maddow that the "golden" opportunity he spoke of was to help get good programs passed for the people of Illinois. Isn't that what political leaders are supposed to do? (This does not speak to the other charges against
When it comes to voting in presidential elections, the maverick state is as mainstream as it gets. (Yet, the Ron Paul Revolution was perhaps strongest there. Hmmmmmmm.)
Maricopa County Libertarian Party Chairman Jim Ianuzzo reasons through the fallacy that "responsible" regulation is a positive market force.
Cynicism may now represent one of the greatest threats to democracy, according to a research project at the London School of Economics. [whatever]
Socialism weakens people; it morally debilitates them; and economically destroys them.
Justin Raimondo provides an overview of the libertarian movement from the dark days of WWII to the present. It is a rather brisk treatment but it does a nice job of delineating the essential dichotomy that has bedeviled the movement for decades.
