Dr. Krugman’s Rants: Enough is Enough!
The problem is that during his ideological rants Paul Krugman has been failing to reach the necessary minimum.
Ideas Can Overthrow Regimes
The Middle East shows us that all governments ultimately rely on the consent of the governed.
A Raging Bull
We are talking about standing firm against unwarranted, unconstitutional and illegal acts.
Society is a Blessing, Government an Evil
Tom Paine: “Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one”
A Tenther’s Perspective of WikiLeaks
The government of the United States has become the distant, detached, self-important entity that the founders had hoped to avoid when writing the Constitution.
You Can Fool All the People … Yeah, Pretty Much All the Time
Observing our two party system in the United States, it strikes me that it’s much like professional wrestling – choreographed combat.
View of the Constitution of the United States
St. George Tucker’s View of the Constitution of the United States was the first extended, systematic commentary on the Constitution after it had been ratified by the people of the several states and amended by the Bill of Rights.
Fear-Mongering from the Left and the Right
It’s time for both sides to start imagining what they fear most: What if government did nothing?
Absolute Power Corrupts. Absolutely.
The solution to our problem is not to find the right people and send them to Washington. By all means, vote the bums out, but if that is the end of it, the new crop of bums (from both parties) will forget their limited government rhetoric just as surely as their predecessors did.
Big Government is Wobbly
Big Government. Collectivism. Central authority. Corporatism, fascism, socialism, etc. Call it what you want, but it’s an overbearing master, operating in the name of we-know-best-and-we’ll-take-care-of-you type of government.
Promoting Freedom and Green Energy Together?
“The purpose of government is for those who run it to plunder those who do not.”
Usurpation: The Weapon By Which Free Governments Are Destroyed
Whenever the people who make up the federal government, either as individuals, as departments or as branches, exercise power not expressly delegated to them as specified in the Constitution, they are usurping the authority of either the states or the people.
The Stealth Class War
Our class war is no different from other class wars throughout history. The contest which matters is the contest between the ruling class and the citizens who desire to live in freedom.
Civil Liberties in Obama’s America
When a left-liberal friend expresses disappointment with Obama’s war on the Bill of Rights, just note that it was inevitable. This is a party that is hostile to private property, the anchor of all individual liberties and rights, and enamored of the managerial central state, the greatest modern enemy of all liberties.
The Consent of the Governed
Like the People, the States have the power and the responsibility to refuse to consent to Unconstitutional laws. We must all make sure that our own State officials are aware of this responsibility.
Beware the Stealth RINOS!
We voters have been suckers for too long. Federal politicians of today are, for the most part, intelligent, but disingenuous. They are great at dishing out rhetoric and spin, and they are most acutely skilled at avoiding substance as much as possible. It is marketing over substance.
Love of Liberty vs Love of Government
Today’s brand of patriotism (at least as expressed by many) is totally foreign to the fundamental principles of liberty upon which America was built. Its focus is government, not liberty.
Freedom from the Income Tax
For over a century, the U.S. government survived quite well without an income tax. It operated a small, constitutional government on the revenue from tariffs and excise taxes. Can we ever return?
Washington: Are they drunk, or just stoned?
It seems clear that Washington today is constitutionally stoned. Only a return to the constitutional balance of federalism — of strong, sovereign states that check the overreaching intrusions by the federal government — will restore the principles of liberty and prosperity that made this nation the light to the world.
Federalism and Social Justice
The Constitutional solution for social justice champions would be to implement their programs at the state level. The founder’s knew that different regions would have different needs and priorities, so they did two things.
An Imperial Presidency In The Making?
The question is, Will my State raise the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag and sincerely defend my liberties? And the follow-up question is, If my State will not do it, which states will, and what will I do?
National Standards Will Merely Produce National Dominance
Whether it be the Carter-era formation of the Department of Education, the Bush-era “No Child Left Behind†legislation, or the Obama-era “race to the top†program, the federal government has over the past century led a concerted effort to fully extend its reach over the entire arena of education.
Unseating the Olympians
The existence of an ideologically controlled one-party type apparatus within the Federal science and educational establishment is the classically predicted effect when a government dispenses funds, controls individual careers, and thereby controls ideas.
