We seek to promote the simple, but wonderful idea of freedom; that is, the idea that people should be as free as possible without doing harm to others. We believe this to be the intention of the founding fathers of the United States of America and it's constitution. We intend for this site to be an intersection of Libertarian, Conservative and Republican ideas, with an emphasis on the Libertarian. This site is very new, so consider it a work-in-progress. Feel free to comment or even become a contributor!
Judge Napolitano interviews Cathlolic Priest Father Robert Sirico and Skeptic Magazine founder Michael Shermer. The Judge asks them about their rationale for the orgin of human rights.
This movie is coming out October 15, 2010. the movie compares Obama & company’s philosophy with that of Ronald Reagan. Is this conservative’s answer to the skillful, but shamelessly dishonest filmmaking of Michael Moore?
I know this is just a young, dumb college girl in this America-bashing interview, but I got to hand it to her for coming right out and declaring the liberal agenda. At about 1:59 through this video, the liberal college girl says “We (the U.S.) need to be grounded for a couple hundred years”.
Now think about that, liberals. Think about that real hard – if you can. Being “grounded”, as our liberal regime is trying their best to do, means really ugly things like total economic collapse, weakness, ultimately being conquered by some other nation that will have their way with us. That’s right – after they’ve killed alot of us, maybe even raped and stolen alot of things, as invading nations do, they will commence with their agenda, not your liberal agenda. So what does your liberal agenda achieve if it just hands us to our enemies for some unknown agenda?
Liberals – if you want to be taken – if you have some erotic fetish for such a thing – go to some part of the world where people are especially barbaric and where they don’t like Americans. there, they can take your money, your virginity, your life, whatever does it for you. Get it out of your system, and see if you feel the same way afterward (assuming you lived).
Did you know… FDR’s New Deal gave away free farms to poor people, but blacks were not not eligible. People have this weird idea that Democrats are less racist than Republicans. It’s very unfortunate that racism continues to exist at all, but I have met at least as many racist Democrats as racist Republicans in my life. And no, I don’t judge someone as racist based on their own race, political affiliation or personality as many liberals do… I require more substantial evidence for such a serious accusation.
This is why, for the first time in my life, I may vote for a Libertarian or Tea Party presidential candidate the next election instead of a Republican. What are Republicans anymore? Most Republicans nowadays seem to be the great compromisers, only pretending to resist the liberal/socialist agenda. This is also why I would never, ever vote for Mitt Romney specifically:
I will give credit where credit is due, so thanks to the liberal journalist for calling attention to Romney’s betrayal of freedom. During the presidential campaign, I already knew about Romney’s support of socialist healthcare as Governor of Massachusetts, but thanks to some liberal journalists and bloggers, now more are aware.
If Republicans have a candidate as true-to-principles as Ron Paul or someone similar the next round, I’ll probably vote Republican, otherwise I’ll vote Libertarian or Tea Party. Obviously, I’m just one voter, but I am certainly not the only one feeling this way. The GOP needs to change it’s attitude and approach ASAP.
It angers me when Republicans say we don’t need a third party…. well, apparently we do (if nothing else, to keep them in line), and it’s all their fault. I appreciate the idea of banding together in numbers/votes with the side with similar-enough views, but enough is enough, and Republican efforts have not been good enough. I really hope the GOP wakes up fast and reinvents itself overnight, purging itself of those that have helped destroy the party’s image and the nation.
As Judge Napolitano points out, both the Democrats and Republicans have become big government parties. They just have different approaches and agendas. Now that I allow myself to see the reality, Republicans are just bringing about a dominating socialist police state that controls and meddles in every aspect of your life and business a little slower than the Democrats would.
The GOP needs to decide, do they want the votes of the RINOs & Neo-Cons or we Libertarian types? I don’t know which group is the bigger loss or gain, statistically-speaking (for the party and voting numbers), but how about this concept: just do the right thing!
It’s not official yet–but it’s getting awfully close. With the Senate finally passing an $871 billion healthcare reform bill, there’s just one major step left before the most sweeping healthcare legislation in at least 45 years becomes law. Senate negotiators will next meet with their counterparts in the House–which passed its own $894 billion bill in November–to work out the differences and try to forge one bill that Congress can present to President Obama.
Required coverage (the “individual mandate”). American citizens and legal residents would be required to have health insurance, or pay a fine. For an individual, the fine would be $750 per year or 2 percent of household income, whichever is greater; for a family, the maximum fine would be $2,250 per year or 2 percent of household income. The fines would go into effect gradually, starting in 2014. The House bill is similar, with exemptions for certain low-income people.
Am I the last freedom-lover in this nation?!?!?!?!? What’s wrong with you people?
I don’t even know where to begin in describing the irrationality of this.
I find it hard to imagine any justified reason to arrest an old man at his own home, unless he is threatening harm to the officers or others.
But… I don’t see any reason to think this was a racist incident. Unfortunately, even in America, cops “power-trip” all the time. I think the professor was no more likely to have been arrested being black as he would have if he were white or any other race. So I think the professor and especially the President of the United States were irresponsible, or at least irrationally paranoid, to imply this was racial profiling or a racist incident.
And as has been pointed out, the professor, Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., certainly wasn’t looking to avoid trouble when he handled the situation in such a belligerent, uncooperative manner. That doesn’t make the arrest justified, however.
The policemen state that they were following procedure, and I believe them. But I don’t think someone should be arrested because of their attitude, because they’re pissing off the policeman or any other childish game of wits. There should be clear reasons for arrest, use of force, search, etc. and maybe they need to better screen policemen for the job if some of them can’t handle such logic. So, if this falls within procedure, they need to change procedure and possibly the law.
Now I believe there are many good cops out there that still have a high degree of common sense. You should be respectful of law enforcement no matter what, but at the same time know your rights if an officer goes too far. We need great policemen, we need to respect them and we need them to be very responsible, have common sense and not go too far, nor do too little. We need to teach our children to trust and comply with policemen as a base attitude, but it is absolutely critical that policemen in America remain worthy of that trust.
And again, what does this have to do with racism? Not a damn thing as far as I can tell. Now I’m not saying the professor doesn’t have reason to be a little paranoid or on-edge regarding racial profiling. He probably does have good reason. I haven’t had the same experiences as him, so I can only judge so far.
