Something Scarry For Halloween
One of the most frightening things this Halloween is that Peter Schiff & Ron Paul are called the crazies and are not listened to and Ben Bernanke is in charge of the country's currency. When we look at these videos I ask you why on earth would Bernanke be in charge on anything and why would Schiff or Paul be marginalized. Peter Schiff Was [...]
News Roundup
Well it's time for our second weekly news roundup. I hope you guys enjoy. Health Care: From Liberty Maven: Ron Paul, a hypocrite on the health care public option?

Health Care “Reform”
Written by Trey Sellers The health care debate is still in full force, and while there is strong support and opposition to the reform being proposed in Washington, we can all agree that health care costs are a burden on a large portion of American families. The important point to realize, though, is that the legislation being proposed is simply [...]
Does the Existence of the State Cause Conflicts of Interest?
My phone is tapped. My mail is read. They know the thoughts inside my head. The money I deposited is now reported to the Fed. They chip my hand, dispense my bread. I think they watch me go to bed.

Big Government Corporatism In Free Market Clothing
I write this for fear of the return of Big government Republicans in 2010. Republicans are saying Free Market and doing the opposite. I fear who they will support, and I fear who will follow with their votes. Big Government Cronies are going to preach the Free Market so they can expand Corporatism. This is the plan of the Republican [...]
The State Marriage and Homosexuality
Some issues I take a stance on that may not be a pro or con. I am neither pro-choice nor pro-life in the abortion debate. It seems that debate is too complex to take a stance on either way. The religious right would say that I am pro-choice in my personal views and the far left would say that I am with the pro-life camp. I do however [...]
What President Obama has done right
The vast majority of what George W. Bush and Barack Obama have done I have opposed. They like most politicians are big government statists. I want to write this quickly to point out what I did agree with the current administration on. It seems there is anger and hatred that clouds judgment. I feel that I often only attack what the [...]
