English parliamentary bills originated as petitions by the people’s representatives to the king. These petitions listed grievances and requested relief. When the king assented to a petition, it became law. Although by … Read more

Another Front in The Global War on Free Speech

America is unique for many reasons, not the least of which is its First Amendment. No nation codifies a right to free speech as protected from government regulation the way we do. Thou Shalt not (Thou, being the government) make laws abridging the freedom of speech or the press. It’s quite encompassing, as is the … Read more

An Orwellian Reinterpretation of Human Rights

Ludwig von Mises depicts the aim of revolutionary socialism as: “to clear the ground for building up a new civilization by liquidating the old one.” One of the main strategies in liquidating a civilization involves dismantling its legal and philosophical foundations.

Inventing Human Rights To Erase Religious Freedom

I lack confidence that very many legislators will even read, let alone heed, this legal opinion as to why Proposal 4 is a complete waste of taxpayer resources, and so I am writing this opinion directly to Vermonters. This Proposal, which purports to expand existing constitutional rights to a list of novel protected classes, is not … Read more

Minorities, especially in cities, are worse off thanks to Dems and BLM, so can the LGBT folks be convinced before it is too late?

What Do Democrats Mean by “Human Rights?”

Last night Democrats took to the national stage for another debate. I will admit, I only caught about 15 minutes of it. But within those 15 minutes, I heard something from the candidates that I keep hearing from the political left consistently. They keep talking about “human rights.”

If you are milking cows, you’re a sexual abuser according to NYU Feminists

No, really?  Doing the act so that I can have my morning breakfast of a 16 oz cup of chocolate milk (Hershy’s, natch) is sexual abuse?

Notable Quotes: Frederic Bastiat

Bastiat, Frederic Bastiat[There] “is this idea that mankind is merely inert matter, receiving life, organization, morality, and prosperity from the power of the state.  And even worse, it will be stated that mankind tends toward degeneration, and is stopped from this downward course only by the mysterious hand of the legislator.

-Frédéric Bastiat

For Barack ‘You Didn’t Build That’ Obama and Elizabeth Warren – and just about every Democrat…

“Life, faculties, production—in other words, individuality, liberty, property—this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.

Abortion is an Act of Tyranny

Abortion is an act of tyranny.  It is the expression of  legal force against another life that denies that life the right to the property of living and every expression of existence that follows from it.  It denies these rights solely for the benefit of another (others), who have exchanged the risk of creation for their own pleasure.
