Donald Trump?! We Should Be Ashamed of Ourselves

Last week, we explained why Donald Trump was a buffoon.

Being unable to further [...]

Donald Trump is now a serious, legitimate candidate for the highest office in the land. In fact, he’s probably the best hope [...]

When those uninitiated to political theory hear the word “libertarian,” if they’re familiar with the term at all, they tend to think of the Libertarian Party. While the Libertarian Party is perhaps one of the more successful nationwide third parties, it tends to garner on the order of 5% of the vote at the best [...]

Does Individuality Trump National Unity in America?

Elizabeth OBrien — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 04:54:10 +0000

In the States, wearing a uniform to school means you attend some kind of private school, most likely. Uniforms are uncool, confining, and unoriginal, to paraphrase my former students. Americans, especially young people, pride themselves on individuality and originality, and laud unconformity with the highest praises. Clothing styles are only a part of that expression. [...]

Democratic State Senators in Wisconsin knew they didn’t have the votes to defeat Governor Scott Walker’s plan to limit the power of government unions. So they left. They literally have gone into hiding in neighboring states to avoid losing a vote. Where has their vaunted love of the democratic process gone to? We ponder the [...]

Freedom, Democracy, & the Middle East

Tim Shaw — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:58:41 +0000

One of the major distinctions of a libertarian is his separate treatment of liberty and democracy. Modern American political thought tends to blur the lines between these concepts, but libertarian political philosophy treats them as quite separate. A state is democratic if government obeys the people, or at least a majority of the people. A [...]

I just didn’t know what to expect as I descended into my pleasantly overstuffed theater seat to behold the third installment in Walden’s “The Chronicles of Narnia”. After a fantastic opening effort – “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” – came a real disappointment in “Prince Caspian”. There was definite anxiety swirling in my [...]

You can’t see them out in the open quite yet, but the Republicans who’d like to be elected President in 2012 are already bounding forward towards the prize. With such a varied and potentially entertaining crop of hopefuls – Huckabee, Romney, Palin, Gingrich, Pawlenty to name just the most often mentioned – I can’t help [...]

He has a tendency to repeat the conventional Republican wisdom a bit too much and frame original thoughts a bit too [...]

The Kid with the Flag on His Bike & the Circle of Life

Goose Nissley — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 05:29:54 +0000

Lunatics running a school in Central California made a young man flying an American flag on his bicycle take it off, so that it wouldn’t offend people. Indeed. I express frustrations, particularly in light of the whole American public schools being funded by American tax payers thing. Also, reading George W Bush’s new book has [...]

With Landslide Victories – Has the Tea Party Made the GOP Safe for Conservatives Again?

Andrew Carter — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 02:41:11 +0000

Say what you will about “establishment” candidates and the mentality of the Washington elites being that of a “ruling class,” if it’s negative, it’s probably all true. And everyone is saying it. The media, desperate to portray the Republican take-over of the House of Representatives as anything other than anger with Obama, has called this [...]

Election Aftermath – A Slew of Senatorial Observations.

Tim Shaw — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 03:31:24 +0000

First observation, on the Delaware senate race. Choosing Christine O’Donnell over Mike Castle was perhaps the most self-destructive primary choice I have ever seen since I began watching politics, easily trouncing the previous record holder, John McCain’s presidential bid. The wildly popular Castle was thought to be a shoe-in for this seat, whereas O’Donnell never [...]

I lampoon NPR’s hypocritical firing of Juan Williams over his now infamous comment regarding nervousness, Muslims, and planes.

It’s 1776. For centuries, European countries have been conquering and colonizing weaker powers for financial gain. Oppressive taxes prompt discontent. Barriers to trade cause poverty in occupied lands. After witnessing the devastation brought by English taxes upon his home country, one man pens a work that will challenge the world’s prevailing notions of how and [...]
