Hillary Billary Baloney
2008-05-15 00:21:00
Hillary wants to make the oil companies pay everyone's gasoline tax for the summer. Where does that take us? How can you tell when a ?free market? politician turns into a Socialist? Hint: most of them already are, but the price of sheep?s clothing is cheap. read more

A Happy Mother's Day Greeting from Social Services
2008-05-11 15:45:00
Have no doubt, Social Services has been effectively privatized, that means corporatized. The government that runs it is a corporation that views children and disabled adults, and all of us, as unrealized profits. Their scam is ugly and it is time it was stopped. read more

Big Government Responsible for Housing Bubble, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-05-11 07:00:00
The House passed two bills attempting to rehabilitate the housing and mortgage market this week. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of criticism and blame for the bad decisions, and rightly so. Lenders and banks do share much of the blame for the overheated market. Lending standards were relaxed, or even abandoned altogether, creating an exaggerated pool of homebuyers that led to ballooning home prices that many, especially real estate investors, expected to continue forever. Now that the bubble has burst, the losses are staggering. read more

Entering the Brain-Free Zone
2008-05-07 23:06:00
Seventeen-year-old Amon Schute is social drek. He's sneering, jeering and hateful. He proves it with ostentatious displays of filthy jeans, long matted hair, body piercings and tattoos. He's exactly the kind of kid you'd expect to spend his entire adult life in lockup. Sixteen-year-old Coy Minyon is a social cipher. He's weak, meek and fearful. He proves it with a timorous mask of ultra conservative clothing, neatly groomed hair, unobtrusive appearance and a permanent muted existence that makes him invisible to the world. He's exactly the kind of kid you'd expect to spend his entire adult life in total obscurity. Amon and Coy are best friends. Together they plan to gun down a bunch of people in a public place and then off themselves in a blaze of everlasting glory. read more

Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul eclipsed an important milestone in yesterdays primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

Why Have Governments?

They rely on our sheepish subjection. They try to dazzle and distract us with wars and space programs, and work secretly to grow their power. Tune in, drop out. vote NOTA.read more

Jury Nullification saves America
2008-05-05 17:28:00
"YOU, as one individual, cannot do much to effect legislation. But YOU can effectively defend the Constitution when a gun owner, a tax resister, or someone who knows he owns his individual body, is on trial for not following government-made laws that are both unconstitutional and violate human rights. The primary responsibility of any juror is to protect innocent humans from government tyranny. That means any violation of basic human rights should be nullified by you, the juror. This is your individual executive veto power, built into our justice system by our founders." ... read more

Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-05-04 07:00:00
In the past few months, American workers, consumers, and businesses have experienced a sudden and dramatic rise in gasoline prices. In some parts of the country, gasoline costs as much as $4 per gallon. Some politicians claim that the way to reduce gas prices is by expanding the government?s power to regulate prices and control the supply of gasoline. For example, the House of Representatives has even passed legislation subjecting gas stations owners to criminal penalties if they charge more than a federal bureaucrat deems appropriate. Proponents of these measures must have forgotten the 1970s, when government controls on the oil industry resulted in gas lines and shortages. It was only after President Reagan lifted federal price controls that the gas lines disappeared. read more

The Great Speed Bump of Mexico
2008-04-30 23:04:00
No matter how rigorously rational the reasons, how artfully articulated the arguments, how many millions of taxbucks the governcrats will burn through to build the Great Speed Bump of Mexico , it will never produce the results its cheerleaders insist on pretending it will. Walling off the US-Mexico border is ballyhooed as a magic bullet. It will stop illegal immigrants, stop drug-running Third World narco-gangsters, stop those fiendishly clever Middle Eastern Al-Qaida interlopers from donning Juan and Julio costumes and smuggling radioactive dirty bombs into the Arizona desert. Whether the wall should be built at all generates hot dispute, even amongst those liberty-loving libertarians. read more

Our Children Abused by the State

"The leader of the Yearning For Zion Ranch says he doesn't understand how the government could sweep in and seize all their children based on an unproven allegation. ""This whole situation is abusive and out of hand," said Merril Jessop, a presiding elder in the FLDS Church. "The nearest thing I have ever seen comparable to this, even on the TV shows, is Nazi Germany." ""The only thing we ask of the governor and citizens of Texas," Jessop said, "is to give every man, woman and child due process and an attorney before they destroy their lives." read more

Politicizing Pain, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-04-27 07:00:00
K.K. Forss does not claim medical marijuana solves all his problems. His pain from a ruptured disc in his neck is debilitating. He is unable to go to work or to the First Baptist Church he used to attend because of the pain and muscle spasms. Taxpayers through Medicare spend over $18,000 a year on his various medications. Half of those drugs are strong narcotics. The other half address the various side-effects brought on by the first half, such as nausea, heartburn, heart palpitations, difficulty sleeping, and muscle spasms. read more

CIA quietly admits torture, rendition program will continue

"Buried in documents filed in federal court, the CIA acknowledged in legal filings yesterday that their rendition program ?will continue.? Terror suspects detained or "renditioned" by the United States are transferred to third party countries that allow torture which gives the US a legal loophole to allow harsh interrogation without being liable. "Documents show they expected legal challenges from the start "CIA has begun to lose, destroy documents" read more

We are Taxbucks
2008-04-23 23:08:00
We are Taxbucks. We say "we" because you never find one of us alone. Taxbucks always run in packs, usually in millions, often in billions, and ever more frequently in trillions. Many of us started life in a form known as "Money." Humans like to keep us tucked away somewhere until they want to swap us for something else. This swapping is called buying and selling. It's a trade that humans do voluntarily. If there's no swindling or other trickery going on, both sides are happy because both sides get what they want. We are happy when we are Money and we're being used by humans to make their lives better. We especially like working in a free libertarian society where coercion and intimidation and fraud are minimized to the fullest extent possible. read more

Why do we continue acquiescing in government, let alone actually consenting to it? read more
