Economist Thomas DiLorenzo points out some long-held misconceptions about President Abraham Lincoln in this article today. The “Southern Slave States” declared their secession from the United States when “abolitionist” Abraham Lincoln was elected president. Prof. DiLorenzo has written about theses issues, particularly in his book, The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His [...]

The Intellectual Incoherence of Conservatism, by Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Please don’t be deceived by the title of that article. Prof. Hoppe isn’t being critical of “conservatism.” He happens to be a self-proclaimed “cultural conservative,” but he believes that “most contemporary conservatives (at least most of the spokesmen of the conservative establishment) either do not recognize that [...]
The Fort Hood terrorist shooter murderer Nidal Hasan’s extremism was known to army bureaucrats? The CIA may have known for months that he had tried to contact Al-Qaeda? He was said to be a “ticking time bomb?” People afraid of being “politically incorrect” for raising questions? Gun Control at a military base? Hmmmm. For those [...]
Michael Graham: Ban texting while driving. Lew Rockwell: Don’t ban texting while driving. Lazarowitz: Punish people who cause death or injury by being irresponsible, but leave otherwise presumably innocent people alone.
Regarding this Fort Hood shooting incident yesterday, I would like to know why there wasn’t someone around who was armed to shoot that guy after he shot his first victim, to prevent him from shooting the next forty or fifty that he shot. Soldiers are Americans, too, you know, and they should’ve been able to [...]
This article by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, published last year by the Mises Institute, On the Impossibility of Limited Government and the Prospects for a Second American Revolution, is a very important albeit somewhat lengthy analysis and criticism of our Constitutional form of government, with suggestions on alternatives towards improving our society. Hoppe views the Constitution itself [...]
More Republican wins yesterday could be foreshadowing a major GOP sweep one year from now. Our country is in desperate need of change, but just how much of a difference will any “Republican Revolution” make? I try to be optimistic, but given the history of just the past thirty years, I’m not too sure. During [...]
Here is George Will on Washington State’s issue of “thugs” getting names and addresses of people who signed petitions for election ballots, and harassing the people at their homes. Jay Severin was talking about that on his show, but I only heard some of that, but clearly Jay thinks that petition signers’ names should be [...]
I found another great article by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Why Bad Men Rule. …those members of society with little or no inhibitions against taking another man’s property, that is, habitual a-moralists who are most talented in assembling majorities from a multitude of morally uninhibited and mutually incompatible popular demands (efficient demagogues) will tend to gain entrance [...]
The Freeman Online has a review of Thomas Woods’s book, Meltdown: A Free Market Look At Why The Stock Market Collapsed, The Economy Tanked And Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse. I haven’t yet read the book, but it details, contrary to the mainstream media’s incorrect assumptions blaming markets, how the economic crisis was caused [...]
