The Temptations of Power is Broader Power

Posted July 30th, 2011, by Moderator

BY ANTHONY MELE Re-posted from The Rockland County Times Political power can test the most temperate of people, but when those temptations remain unsatisfied it leads to a need for more of it. The media ignored President Obama when he told the room hosted by The Council of La Raza he felt “tempted” to bypass…

Orwellian Euphemism (pt 3 of 3)

Posted July 29th, 2011, by Bill Reed

The Child-in-Chief’s Reign of Error Enter Barak Hussein Obama. That scamp! Isn’t he the dickens? Ya gotta love him! No. I really mean it. You’ve GOT to love him… OR ELSE! Here the analogy is not so much the ordinary household, as the child who’s gone through his allowance for the next several lifetimes, but…

Orwellian Euphemism (pt 2 of 3)

Posted July 28th, 2011, by Bill Reed

Prudence vs. Debt “What is prudence in the conduct of every private family can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom.” – Adam Smith There is nothing magical that happens when government operates, as opposed (and I use “opposed” advisedly) to individuals. Like the law of gravity, the laws of economics operate with…

Orwellian Euphemism (pt 1 of 3)

Posted July 27th, 2011, by Bill Reed

The Czar of Orwellian Euphemism We are now, what… 6 months into this phony-baloney “debt ceiling” debate? (Kudos to the czar of Orwellian Euphemisms, whoever that may be.) It could be far more appropriately described as a deliberately disabled debt elevator. Disabled so that it only goes one way: UP! If it were to be…

The Deliberately Disabled Debt Elevator – It only goes up!

Posted July 27th, 2011, by Bill Reed

“Debt-ceiling” is an Orwellian euphemism. I swear that in some windowless office in DC there’s a Czar of Orwellian Euphemism cranking these things out. It’s more a “debt-elevator” than it is a ceiling. But, as is typical for DC, it’s been disabled so that it goes up, but can’t come down. We now have to…

The Philosophy of Liberty

Posted July 24th, 2011, by Moderator

By Ken Schoolland: My philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you do. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others. You exist…

Posted July 7th, 2011, by Moderator

Facebook shut us down today with no warning whatsoever. You tell me what I should think about this. (See the screen grab below) All other pages and groups are showing up in my Facebook account except our group. I even checked it through my friends account. With no warning and no explaination they shut us…

History? OMG! That’s so last century! (Pt. II)

Posted July 4th, 2011, by Bill Reed

The Marxists who dominate our university and secondary education systems have promoted the notion that at least with regard to American history, its best, or perhaps only use is to find fault with the authors of those 2 most perfect documents on the subject of self-government ever penned, under the wildly misguided premise that discrediting…

History? OMG! That’s so last century!

Posted July 4th, 2011, by Bill Reed

Our understanding of our own history has been so scrambled by our education system, that we hardly have the requisite vocabulary with which to have a dialog on the subject. Especially on July 4th, when we celebrate the most miraculous of events in human history, short of the bible, it might be helpful to consider…
