Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

Friday Open Thread – You’re turn to shine folks!

Re-regulation going apace, Safer at Home loses to “Best Recommendations” (e.g., part of the campaign strategy, baby!),  “Counts, Recounts, and the Big Fix” – just about too much going on. So start talking folks – this post is for you!  All we ask is that yak amongst yourselves!

Liberty and Freedom

Notable Quote: “Collectivists hit hardest”

Only upon the premise of individualism can a free society be built. In fact, individualism was the implicit philosophical principle underlying the American concept of government as servant rather than master. The real significance of the American Revolution lay not in a military triumph (for other nations have won independence only to lapse back into … Read more

Notable Quote – This Is Why Decentralization of Society is so Important

The “Great Mind Fallacy,” or GMF … has two aspects. Its first is to believe that there is some person or group of people who possess enough information, and is endowed with sufficiently superior character, that we can safely entrust with the authority of crafting policy for citizens. Its second aspect is to endorse public … Read more

Voluntary Cooperation

Notable Quote – Cooperation

What has changed over humanity’s recent history is not biology, psychology, physiology, ecology, or geography. What has changed, instead, is their attitudes. As economic historian Deirdre McCloskey has demonstrated in her magisterial three-volume investigation under the general title The Bourgeois Era, the most salient factor distinguishing the post-1800 era from everything that went before is the attitudes people held … Read more

Notable Quote – Minimum Wage was born out of Racism

The last year in which black unemployment was lower than white unemployment – 1930 – was also the last year in which there was no federal minimum wage law.
