Sam Wells: What a Libertarian Is – and Is Not

by Sam Wells, from a post on laissez-fairerepublic.com

A libertarian is a person – any person – who consistently advocates individual freedom and consistently opposes the initiation of the use of coercion by anyone upon the person or property of anyone else for any reason. (Coercion is here defined as any action taken by a [...]

A WORLD WITHOUT RULERS

What is it that Americans REALLY want?  Do we want strength in our leadership or do we want pampering?  Do we see a big government as a strong government, or do we see a big government weakened by its size?  Do we want quality health care for those who can afford it or do [...]

Gingrich on DOMA

The Speaker of the House who initiated the last impeachment of a Democratic president has warned Barack Obama of the possibility of a repeat. Newt Gingrich told NewsMax.com that Obama’s refusal to fight legal challenges against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) — which was also passed while Gingrich was Speaker — created a “very [...]

Are You a Minority? So What?

We have all seen it. Someone makes a snide comment about some minority: racial, sexual orientation, color, intelligence, physically handicapped, etc, all of which are a personal, private issue. Let me stress up front that this is not a “bash” article, nor is it an “excuse” article. It is meant to be an article [...]

Conservatives, Take Back Your America!

It’s wonderful to be able to address a group of people who are conservative thinkers! This group can accomplish a lot if we don’t hang ourselves.

Am I wrong? Then call my [...]

Ocommie, Show us the real BC or Resign

Let me begin by saying that Barack Hussein Obama is the most horrible “president” America has ever elected.  Obama is a collectivist / communist, and is using the force of government to pass laws which eliminate major choices which properly belong to free men as their birthright, forcing them to accept “cap and trade”, ObamaCare, [...]

Does the Constitution REALLY Authorize Welfare?

What with the Obama Administration’s frantic push for socialized medicine, a lot of people have come up with some unique ideas to justify its passage.  One unique idea that strikes me is the old canard:  The federal government is responsible for the “General Welfare” of its citizens, and having the government provide for the health [...]
