Every person of principle has trouble when it comes to dealing with political parties, which for a myriad of reasons seem utterly immune to principle. Every time we make a principled argument about why a particular policy is wrong, we’re shouted down as being “purists” or “impractical” or “uncompromising”. What the impure, practical, compromisers forget […]

Politicians often quote from the Constitution “ to provide for the … general Welfare” as justification for welfare spending. However, that clause gives the reason for collecting taxes – to protect the well being (Welfare) of everyone in the populace (general) – to protect not subsidize. The Constitution enumerates the exact ways that tax money […]

While I am appealing to important officials on political matters, I now turn from the state’s chief executive to the Lieutenant Governor and his possible intent to run for governor as an independent. My appeal here is: Don’t do it. Please. You are being used by liberals to destroy the great gains that Republicans have […]

I was fascinated with the recent meteorite fall in Siberia (I always wanted to go to Siberia and if I remain a libertarian I might get my wish!) and look at these recent videos from Russia Today. Here and Here! So, Sandy, why did the blast come so much later than the visual viewing? In […]

One of my favorite TV shows was one that only lasted a summer was Mister Sterling, with Josh Brolin as a newly appointed US Senator (the son of a politician played superbly by Josh Brolin) who has his own agenda: Do what he thinks is right. Here‘s more info about it. (I could not find […]

This is a dark day for the American people, the Constitution, and the rule of law. This is a dark day for American liberty. This decision goes against the very principle that America has a federal government of limited powers; a principle that the Founding Fathers clearly wrote into the Constitution, the supreme law of […]

Here is the new Ron Paul ad according to Politico: MORE – THE NARRATOR’S SCRIPT: “It’s the story of a lost city, lost opportunity, lost hope. A story of failed policies, failed leadership. A story of smooth-talking politicians, games of ‘he said, she said,’ rhetoric and division. One man has stood apart, stood strong and […]

Time for another sports rant! (If Rick Santilli can do it, so can I!) Real Clear Sports reports that the NCAA has no immediate plans to expand the Basketball tournament in the future from the present 68 teams. The NCAA is more concerned about making sure its first 68-team basketball tournament goes off without a […]

Yesterday’s Richmond Times-Dispatch has a piece written by Jeff E. Schapiro declaring that Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is the defacto leader of the Republican Party of Virginia, NOT Governor Bob McDonnell. I tend to agree with this position as Ken has been leading the charge on issues like Obamacare, Cap & Trade, illegal immigration and other […]

After all the rhetoric is put aside, one principle ran through President Obama’s speech tonight: that increased government involvement in health care can solve its problems. Many Americans fundamentally disagree with this idea. We know from long experience that the creation of a massive new bureaucracy will not provide us with “more stability and security,” […]
