After hearing this week’s return to Government Medicine proposals, combined with seeing how the government is screwing up the H1N1 vaccine distribution, I am more freaked out than ever. Just seeing how President Obama is drooling to take control over the entire medical and insurance industries is a stressful experience. Please excuse my bitterness and [...]
In my previous post I linked to this article, Classical Liberalism versus Anarcho-capitalism. Now, I’m not an “anarchist” in the sense of “lawlessness, chaos, corruption and looting,” etc. However, one can make the argument, especially after reading that article, that having no organized government (“state”) might be preferable to what we have now: a government [...]
Classical Liberalism Versus Anarchocapitalism, by Jesus Huerto de Soto (Excerpted from Property, Freedom and Society: Essays In Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe) ….This “infantilization” of the masses is deliberately fostered by politicians and social leaders, since in this way they publicly justify their existence and guarantee their popularity, predominance, and governing capacity. Furthermore, a legion of [...]

It is the group within society that claims for itself the exclusive right to rule everyone under a special set of laws that [...]
Now that it’s October, I can get WABC on my radio and hear Mark Levin again and his intelligence and occasional wisdom, and his occasional yelling and name calling. I don’t understand why 96.9 WTKK no longer has him on, but he also does provide audio rewinds to hear. Levin sure has called a lot [...]
President Obama ‘s paranoia of Rush Limbaugh and talk radio and Glenn Beck and Fox News should be of no shock to anyone. It’s good that the other news networks decided to defend Fox’s presence in the White House press corps’ interviews with Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg, although Fox’s Major Garrett has interviewed Feinberg. The [...]

Yesterday on his radio show, Michael Graham was discussing how some people were whining that the New England Patriots shouldn’t have won by so many points (59-0) over the Tennessee Titans, and that Tom Brady shouldn’t have been allowed to throw so many touchdown throws in one quarter. Graham brought up how in so many [...]
George Washington foresaw that “foreign entanglements” would be against America’s self-interests, and he meant US governmental foreign entanglements with other countries’ governments, although he encouraged Americans to engage in free trade with people in other countries. Unfortunately, it may take a Lyndon Johnson-like Obama for supporters of our invasions, wars and occupations abroad to realize [...]
Obama Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg is demanding that Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis receive no salary nor bonus for 2009, and will also have to repay the bank the $1 million he’s already earned. Granted that BOA was one of the large financial institutions that received TARP Bailout money, and that the takeover by [...]
Rush Limbaugh seems to have been shut out of being an NFL team part owner, and partly to do with accusations of Limbaugh being a “racist.” I’ve been listening to him for quite a few years now, and Rush Limbaugh is not a “racist.” He wouldn’t have hired a Black man as a top member [...]
