Schadenfreude, Mr. Morgan? Or is that just the scales falling off your eyes?

May 17, 2013

CNN’s Piers Morgan, the Brit Twit who decided that taking on Pro-Second Amendment folks during the run up to the Senate’s attempt to pass stricter gun laws to boost his ratings (er, #FAIL), is seemingly having a change of mind about it all.  You see, after poo-pooing (or screaming, taking your pick) that that these [ Read more ]

The Paleo Party

April 9, 2013

The thing the Democrat Party wants the most is to convince us that it is in our best interest, regardless of the interest, to let the government manage as much of our community and our lives as possible.  Cost is, of course, no object (because it is not their money).  But this is the oldest [ Read more ]

Blog Thought of the Day: Which one should Government be able to do FIRST?

April 8, 2013

I point out here Reynolds’ Second Law (yes, it is my Shiny Object of the day): “The more a government wants to run its citizens’ lives, the worse job it will do at the most basic tasks of government.” From the lens of the above, which of these is the “basic” one: Our government says [ Read more ]

Notable Quote – C.S.Lewis

February 25, 2013

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good [ Read more ]

Maybe the start of a Revolution? Pushback against the faux “freedom” of Progressivism?

This paragraph from Tim’s post on Zero Hedge really caught my eye: There is no other culture on earth that has the capacity, like Americans currently do, to defeat centralists, defend individual liberty, and end the pursuit of total global power in this lifetime.

Driving Out The Competition

February 7, 2013

I have posited elsewhere in these pages that the government (when run by this particular crowd of liberal Democrats at least) very likely engages in tax policy designed to eliminate political competition.
