REVOLUTION: The First Shot of the Tax Revolt Begins in California

Whatever revolution that starts in California, always spreads to the nation. In arguably the most liberal state in America, California taxpayers sent a message to the nation on Tuesday: “We’ve Had Enough and We’re Not Going to Take It Anymore!”

Okay, Okay, “Revolution” is not exactly a tax-strike but Wayne Root makes a case [...]

Dissolve this Parliament, and call a General Election.

This particular Parliament, unprecedented in nearly 400 years, has lost such meagre respect as it still retained after, among other sins, handing, entirely unauthorised and incidentally to the extreme detriment of The Queen’s own position as Head of State of the United Kingdom, nearly all its powers to a junta of unelected foreign potentates…

Good government frees, bad government enslaves

Human life requires action, so it logically follows that humans must take those actions necessary to sustain their lives. We also acknowledge a corollary: Actions cease to be legitimate when they deny others the freedom to act.

What It Feels Like To Be A Libertarian

Being a libertarian means living with a level of frustration that is nearly beyond human endurance. It means being subject to unending scorn and derision despite being inevitably proven correct by events. How does it feel to be a libertarian?

All are real issues; this submission is perhaps a small beginning for discussion. True freedom of individual around the world is always the first consideration.

Striker: Simply opening this issue [...]

The future belongs to libertarians

This author over-focused on the ignorance of another columnist, but managed to present libertarian principles well. However, election2008 shows clearly that we face a huge task in counseling with our brainwashed populace, which has been taught to deny Reason. Rather long but worthwhile read.

I’ll take freedom over Prop 8

The problem with that philosophy is that most people are afraid of real freedom, or rather of someone else’s freedom to do what they want. Yes, democracy is great as long as you’re the majority.

This is because large portions of the voting public think they are rich because they own assets (homes and stocks)that are overvalued….Only if you understand the roots of the crisis will you be able to offer [...]
