The dividing line between compassion and tyranny has a name: it is called coercion. It is the border that encircles libertarian geography on the political map.



Few would argue with our bedrock libertarian principle: it is unjust to initiate force or fraud against another person. Don’t you agree?



And yet we force people to join unions, force people to pay arbitrary prices for goods, services, and labor, force people to purchase insurance, force people to fund…

To Save Our Nation Congress Must Pass Glass-Steagall and Shut Down Derivatives Now!

Scott Brown's Cloture Vote: A Re-Vaulting Development

The Civil Rights Act of 1964? Why do we have to reopen that debate because of something one guy didn’t say on a program no one watched?



And wasn’t the name of their website MoveOn? Whatever happened to that idea?



We are now in the fourth year of Democratic control in Congress, and they are still whining about GWB instead of doing the job we pay them for.

President Obama is right: at some point you have made enough money, and that point is called: it's-none-of-your-damn-business.



It’s nobody's business how much money you make, how much you spend, what you spend it on, how much you save, how much you invest, what you invest in, how much you profit, how much you give away, and who you give it to.



It's your money, that's why.



And while we are at it, it's nobody's business what you eat, drink, smoke, drive, wear, buy,…

Anyone who still thinks our country is headed in the right direction should pause and observe the destination which awaits us at the end of our journey - Greece.

In case you don’t follow such things, the nation of Greece has gone belly up; it committed economic suicide with too many years of too much government, too much debt, and too much deficit spending – deficits it used to add government jobs, expand welfare entitlements, subsidize national industries, and empower unions.…

Each new tax is one less bag of oats for the starving racehorse and another batch of oatmeal cookies down the gaping pie hole of the bloated government jockey. Each new regulation is another…
