Apr 2nd, 2012 | By | Category: Politics
Trayvon Martin had it coming. We read those words to that effect from an article linked to by a libertarian website we visit very regularly. “In Zimmerman’s case, Martin was an athletic six-foot-two-inch tall football player that had him on his back pounding on him. Martin got what he deserved.” So wrote Paul ...read more

Implausibly, Freedom Gets a Boost

Jan 12th, 2012 | By | Category: Featured, Politics
Every once in a while, the Supreme Court takes notice of the Constitution and actually comes to the defense of that thing called freedom. True, it doesn't happen often, and hasn't happened much at all for, oh, 100 years or so. But it can and does happen. This time, the ...read more

Woe are we. There is nary a nation state on the planet where a man can be free. The entire planet is a cobweb of governments, police, taxes, laws, rules and regulations. It is with great sorrow that much of the population of the planet now has Stockholm syndrome. They’ve grown ...read more
