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.

NH Governor could learn from South Dakota’s Governor: “My Responsibility is to Respect the Rights of the People”

While most governmental leaders in the U.S. are imposing lockdowns of one sort or another, Republican Gov. Kristi Noem is refusing to shut down South Dakota. At a press conference Wednesday, Kristi eschewed a one-size-fits-all approach to the pandemic. During this present viral threat, she’s interested in a specific kind of protection — that of individual rights: … Read more

Lakes Region Hospital has done the exact same stupid thing:

 How one Pennsylvania hospital system is navigating the coronavirus. “The Washington Health System in southwestern Pennsylvania has announced they are laying off healthcare staff due to several of their departments temporarily closing under the Gov. Tom Wolf’s state mandate that halted elective surgeries and diagnostic procedures. . . . In short, all of the routine, run-of-the-mill … Read more

Data Point – Consumer Purchasing off the cliff

70% of the American economy is consumer driven.  With Government shutting it down (e.g., Ben Franklin’s saying again!), we can see how fast consumers shut their wallets (even those that still have jobs). The paper relies on data from a nonprofit “fintech” company that helps people save, and the researchers had access to (anonymized) data … Read more

CARES Act 2020

Notable Quote – So easily given up?

To repeat: This extraordinary menace may well require an extraordinary response. Yet a month ago, could anyone have imagined that we would see the complete cessation of all church and synagogue worship in the United States? Or a total halt to citizens’ First Amendment right “peaceably to assemble and to petition the government”? Or the … Read more

Man is not free unless govt is limited - Reagan

Notable Quote – Robert Higg

The most important legacy of the New Deal, however, is a certain system of belief, the now-dominant ideology of the mixed economy, which holds that the government is an immensely useful means for achieving one’s private aspirations and that one’s resort to this reservoir of potentially appropriable benefits is perfectly legitimate. To take – indirectly … Read more

“Coronavirus Rhapsody”

Well done. Sure, it’s as long as the original by Queen but with some clever re-working of the lyrics, it “gets” the current COVID-19.  Lyrics only – no flashy band antics:

30 day trial of Socialism

Notable Quote – Jim Buchanan

Frank Knight could never have joined those of the self-selected elite who, in idea or practice, seek to plan, steer, or direct the lives of those who are excluded. He was a classical liberal, not because he predicted that only with widespread individual liberty would desired results be generated, but because the liberal order is … Read more

Meet Schrodinger’s Virus

I’m really starting to get rather cynical now. It’s as if the Government wants us to believe in two things at the same time – we have the virus and we don’t. But the result is the same. The government is voiding what I believe to be the Proper Role of Government.
