Enough is enough of the left’s cynical attempts at exploiting tragedy, Part I

We’ve had enough of the liberty grabber left’s assault on our inalienable human rights. They’re back at it again. Like the brainless zombies of every movie of the genre, the liberty grabber leftists are back at it, trying to eviscerate the people’s inalienable human rights. On Wednesday, they had  a day long extravaganza on the topic of liberty control,  with a narrow range of proposals that centered around the set-up for gun confiscation or the tyrannical act itself. All of the ‘democratic’ presidential candidates being ever so benevolent in parceling out the last vestiges of everyone’s civil liberties. It’s no coincidence that the national socialist left became obsessed with gun confiscation in parallel with their collectivist coming out party. The left’s base ideology can only be implemented with a monopoly on the use of force.  This is why they continue to push this issue and why we need to keep pushing back.  In this particular case, this is directed more ...

Returning to sanity, the greatest benefit of limited government

The ever-expansive government born of collectivism results in power for the elite and insanity for everyone else. How did we get to this point? How did we get to a situation where reading the news is akin to trying to drink from a fire hose in attempting to take in the events of the day? There were times in the not so distant past were this wasn’t the case, when we could go about our business not having to waste time with such concerns. This is clearly a vestige of a political movement that wants to impose expansive government on every aspect of our lives. The elite of the collectivist Left would prefer a society driven to distraction intimately involved in everyone’s private life. The only way we can survive this is by reversing course back to a point where government and society doesn’t control every aspect of our lives. Colleague JD Rucker started this conversation with his article on limited government in continuation to the insane situation we find ourselves. Two important ...

Counterbalancing the fire-hose of Leftist propaganda

A study confirms the extreme bias of the national socialist media and what you can do about it. A study just released from the MRC should only confirm what is already understood to be the case. The national socialist media is horribly biased against the pro-liberty right and the president in particular. Since January 20, 2017, the Media Research Center has analyzed every moment of coverage of President Trump on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts, seen by approximately 23 million people each night. Highlights: The tone of coverage remains incessantly hostile: 90% negative, vs. just 10% positive (excluding neutral statements), matching the historically bad press we documented in 2017. Yet despite the media’s obvious disapproval, public opinion of the President actually improved slightly during 2018, from an average 40% approval on January 1 to 42.7% approval on December 31, according to RealClearPolitics. [Our emphasis] This is how the insanely biased Leftist media h...

Why true liberals should embrace limited government

Those who truly advocate for freedom should abhor the expansion of government into our personal lives and Liberty. This is the second in a series inspired by JD Rucker’s article on What classical liberalism is, briefly . As a basis for this discussion, these are the relevant parts of the definition of the term Liberal from the Oxford English Dictionary: Definition of liberal in English: adjective 1 Willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one’s own; open to new ideas. 1.1 Favourable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms. 1.2 (in a political context) favouring individual liberty, free trade, and moderate political and social reform. noun 1A person of liberal views. Origin Middle English: via Old French from Latin liberalis, from liber ‘free (man)’. Despite the post modernist mentality of some, the terms Liberal and Liberty haven’t changed in meaning. Both have the same roots in the ‘female personification of liberty and persona...

Hey, you’re not a leftist!

A video from Blue Collar Logic makes the point that True Liberals belong on the right, conserving Liberty. Blue Collar Logic are videos from a couple of guys applying basic common sense to the issues of the day. In this case a video setting forth the proposition that it very important to know the meaning of the labels we use. That true Liberal belong on the Pro-Liberty Right right. While we may quibble here and there, most of it rings true. They point out that the founding fathers were true Liberals, while those who push socialistic slavery cannot rightfully assume that moniker. For example, we have the recent case where the Washington Post published an article directly identifying Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) as a ‘Liberal’. Given that socialism is a collectivist ideology that is adverse to individual rights it’s hard to reconcile that any of her mindset could be Liberal. But that is the state of our nation these days, with one side using words to deceive...
