I have a deeply held resentment for skepticism, cynicism, and nihilism. The reason I hate these fundamental modes of thinking is because each of them opens up the poor souls that hold them to a myriad of truly psychotic beliefs, opinions, and ideas. Skepticism is an intellectual framework which seeks to undermine all faith in […]

Now every libertarian (whether with a small “l” or a large “L”) has another reason to save their money to serve the cause of liberty: The next money bomb for Libertarian Robert Sarvis to get him on the air – whether radio or TV. I am hearing that the idea is being floated about. Think […]

Since the President has decided to graciously allow Congress to have their say, it’s time for Congress to do what it did not do when we attacked Serbia: Stop the war! First, if the best they can do is panicked phone calls from Syrian officials to chemical warfare chiefs about the so-called chemical strike, that […]

In some cases, absolutely. But they don’t. Because they are afraid. Between the EPA attacks, union attacks, and threats to soak anyone […]

I was prayerfully wondering what position for the Governor to take on the sonogram bill. The Left is making distortions of a type that have incendiary potential, especially with those who get their information unfiltered from the MSM. I came up with: Take out the requirement that there be an invasive sonogram. And that is […]
