Global Warming Solved by Capitalism!

I just saw an interview with J. Craig Venter, famous for his participation in the human genome project and now CEO of Synthetic Genomics, in which he stated that he is creating a microbe which eats C02 and creates hydrocarbon fuel. That’s right, you heard me correctly. Using genetic engineering, they essentially assemble this little [...]

The Tea Party is Over

The Tea Party is Over

I watched some of the speechifying from the Tea Party convention this weekend (as much as I could stomach) which showed that it is the new home (and probably only the temporary one) of the ‘moral majority’ types from the Republican party.

It is mostly due to the unionization of government labor, which in term [...]

Obama’s Policy Fethishist Administration Exposed

Click here to see a truly funny send-up of the Obama  cabinet based on their lack of public sector experience. I apologize in advance as it’s fairly offensive to those of you on the left, but I think it’s so funny that it’s worth watching. For a more balanced view on Obama’s faith in social [...]

Ayn Rand – Objectivism vs Altruismism

Huckabee not believable on tax system overhaul

Huckabee is the farthest thing from a libertarian, and not a foe of excess taxes/regulation/government growth. When he was governor of Arkansas he presided over a growing state government, not a restrained one. See this link for ( more …. )
