Review: Frank George’s 30 Days with Illegal Immigrants

Frank George is passionate about stopping illegal immigration. He is a Minuteman. By placing Frank in the residence of a family of illegal immigrants for 30 days, Morgan Spurlock—in the truest possible form—placed reason against reason, and argument against argument. Temporarily—but long enough for significant revelation—Spurlock imprisoned the passions of one argument within the embodiment [...]

A proposal to strengthen the dollar

If there is one plain economic truth in the United States, it is the steady rise of prices. Inflation is something every American can see and feel. It is a painful reality we know too well. It is an issue around which nearly all Americans find themselves rightfully united; as a whole, and as individuals, [...]

Nationalism, socialism, and empire

Those three things will soon destroy America. We’re wasting money on things that aren’t working. “But old people…” “But the terrorists…” “But poverty…” “But kids need things…” “But diseases…” Please. “But universal health care…”  Stop.  If you have purchased cable television, or even electricity, but no health insurance, you obviously do not care much for [...]

Islamofascism, are you kidding me?

It’s 2008. Theocracy is not about to take over the United States, and if it did, it would be a safe bet that it would not be Islamic. I do not understand the level of irrational fear in this country. If you are an American who fears Islamofascism, turn off the corporate media, and please [...]

If we the people leave, do they the rulers win?

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” – Ron Paul The long-term economic outlook for this country is so grim–and this is well-researched and almost universally accepted–that I can hardly see myself sticking around to endure it. A free and great industrial republic has become a credit-addicted empire, propped up today not by human [...]

Hayek’s road of wisdom

The Road to Serfdom is real. Americans travel its course with eyes shut. Some of us have opened our eyes, but at this point, we feel powerless to change the direction of the masses, who march confidently in the dark, behind their eyelids. If you do not yet know what is wrong with this country, [...]

I hate to keep bashing “educators” but…

Notes from a university political science course, in which we were being taught about ideologies: Libertarianism “liberty from government control” Opposes laws that limit drug use, abortion, speed limits, seatbelts, pollution control Foreign policy focus on isolationism (troops @ home for only defense) Different tenets disliked by conservatives and liberals Conservatives dislike disrespect for traditional [...]

The role of government, as taught in university

I like studying the arguments of those who disagree with me, mostly because of the proof that they provide, that the American educational system is worthless, even at its highest levels. In my earnest opinion (and I think most would agree), Americans should not spend a penny on anything that is worthless, and they certainly [...]

B.J. Lawson: a common sense conservative

Remember when Republicans were elected to downsize government? In 1994, the American people were inspired by the prospects of economic freedom to vote Republicans into office. In 2001, George W. Bush was expected to come in and aid them in that effort. It did not happen. Under Bush and the Republican Congress from 2001 to [...]

So many reasons to love Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine was, by some accounts, the most well-read Englishman ever to live. If you are reading this, regardless of who you are, or how many Nobel prizes you have won, you can rest assured that Paine’s education was more complete than your own. When you read his commentaries on money and the role of [...]
