During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Farewell to Congress This may well be the last time I speak on the House Floor. At the end of the year I’ll leave Congress after 23 years in office over a 36 year period. My goals in 1976 were the same as they are today: promote peace and prosperity by a strict adherence to … Read more »
Stuff costs too much. Seriously. Every time I go to the grocery store these days, I am absolutely horrified by the prices. I try not to buy anything that is not on sale, but the problem is that I am discovering that the new sale prices are the old regular prices. So now paying what … Read more »
This post is likely to get some negative responses. But I’m ok with that. I’m prepared for it. Because this is something that needs to be said. Americans are pre-programmed with a victim mentality. There, I finally got it off my chest. And it feels pretty good. Note that I am not saying that anybody … Read more »
Listen, anyone who knows me knows I’m not fan of Mitt Romney. I wasn’t in ’08, and I’m certainly not now. It even pained me a bit to put his picture on this article. But seriously… Taxes? This is the leftists “birther” moment. You remember, when a whole bunch of concerned people asked about Barack … Read more »
There’s a very cool website out there called iSideWith that shows you, based on the issues that are most important to you, which of the Presidential candidates that you align with most closely. When I took the quiz, I most closely aligned with Gary Johnson (seeing eye to eye with him 95% of the time), … Read more »
This article was reposted with permission from The Economic Collapse. How is money created? If you ask average people on the street this question, most of them have absolutely no idea. This is rather odd, because we all use money constantly. You would think that it would only be natural for all of us to … Read more »
It’s 1:30am and there’s a knock at your door. What do you do? If you’re like me (or any other 2nd Amendment abiding citizen) you cautiously approach your door with gun at the ready. Now before you go thinking I’m some crazed gun nut, let’s look at the facts. It’s 1:30 in the morning, and … Read more »
Who owns you? It’s a fairly simple question, and yet, for some it’s difficult to answer. Do you own yourself? Does the State? I just read a piece in the New York Times titled Let’s Draft Our Kids. In it, the author mentions that General Stanley McChrystal has called for the reinstatement of the draft. … Read more »
The state – or, to make the matter more concrete, the government – consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is … Read more »
Think you own your property? Do you really? Perhaps you’d better think again. If you want proof that you’re merely a renter on your “own property,” try not paying your property taxes this year and watch how quickly “your” property is seized by the State. Anyways, on to the news. It turns out that voters … Read more »
Barring a miracle coming out of Tampa in August, Mitt Romney will square off against Barack Obama in the November general election for President. That said, allow me to officially announce my endorsement for President in 2012: Gary Johnson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X3QRSIXgns
What has for years been a quasi-joke about the government actually appears to be completely true. They really do have what it takes, to take what you have. Of course, everybody wants to believe that the government really cares. They are only looking out for you and your best interests. There are many of us … Read more »
