Warning, the images in this video are not suitable for children or the faint of heart. Real images of stoning, genital mutilation and honor killings are shown so be prepared. While I’m actually opposed to our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I also think that we shouldn’t kid ourselves about what the Islamic faith is [...]
Great “Rap” video of Keynes and Hayek!
One might think that a libertarian would be more hysterical about ‘health care reform’ than the Republicans and its direct-action cadres, the Neo-Con-Gelicals of the Tea Party, 9/12 groups and other self-styled ‘activist’ organizations. It’s true that I do believe the agenda of the Progressives is hopelessly misguided and destructive to the fabric of liberty [...]
In the midst of all the hyperbole surrounding anthropogenic global warming (AGW), I find that I can actually take little solace from the libertarian community when it comes to AGW and the environment in general. In a previous post, http://libertariancomment.com/climate-change-whats-a-libertarian-to-do/ , I advocate for a precautionary stance simply based on the asymmetric nature of the [...]
I know I usually do political or current events stuff, but hey, I really wanted to review this movie and if I can’t take a little license with this site from time to time, what’s the point of publishing a blog in the first place? Okay, so I went to the movies, undecided as to [...]
Glenn Beck is one of the most interesting things to happen in mainstream media and political discourse in this country – particularly for conservatives – in a long time. He has skyrocketed to fame and fortune with a new twist on the populist/conservative talker formula that the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity perfected, which they [...]
As a libertarian, I’m convinced that most people act in their own self-interest, both individually and collectively, quite effectively without external coercion. In social science circles, this is a fundamental question which informs the various schools of governing philosophies that drive our ideological disagreements. Collectivist and big-state solutions fundamentally assume that individuals left to their [...]
I’m amazed by the hysteria emerging from the Left on the Supreme Court decision this week, recognizing the unconstitutionality of restrictions on free speech imposed by McCain Feingold. There are lots of problems with corporations as legal entities in our society. In my estimation, they all stem from the limited liability that a corporation enjoys, [...]
Like many political junkies, I followed the Brown/Coakley race with much interest. The crashing political support for the policies of the Collectivist-Utopians – wait, let’s stop right here for a moment, because that term isn’t just part of my polemic; it’s a much more accurate description of the social science of the left. They aren’t [...]
Bernanke gave a speech this morning in which he called for more regulation to prevent prevent ‘bubbles’ from occurring. He went on to say that he didn’t believe that the Fed’s monetary policies were the cause of the recent housing bubble. For those of you who have been keeping track of this, I imagine you [...]
