2018: The year the far-Left became openly hostile to the cause of Liberty

Looking back at 2018 and how the Parkland mass murder caused the Left snap and drop the pretence of being Liberal. Reviewing the year 2018, one is struck by the fact that it was turning point with the far-Left drop kicking the mask concealing their true authoritarian ideals. There are times when one feels compelled to write about certain subjects or choose certain items for lists and other compilations. Last December, one New Year’s resolution was to stop complimenting Leftists with the term ‘Liberal’. While being an ongoing issue, it didn’t seem that prevalent. Never the less, there seemed to be a certain sense of being ‘guided’ to add this to the list. Little did we know that it turned out to be quite prescient in that 2018 was the year the Socialist-Left turned their back on Liberty. The new year started like most others in the midst of a cold winter for those in more mountainous or northern climes due to the ravages of Global cooling .. er.. Global Warming because ther...

Journalists are ceding their roles to the SJW mobs and are paying the price

Gloria Alvarez: Socialism leads to violence

Image
The societal slavery of collectivism is dependent on the use of force, which is why the Left obsesses over gun confiscation. The Left’s base ideology of collectivism depends on the use of force or the threat of force to ‘redistribute’ the people’s property. This doesn’t work if the people can resist [to coin a phrase] this oppression. Therefore, it has to make it illegal to defend yourself as well as confiscate guns . The national Socialist-Left doesn’t really care about ‘safety’ or ‘the children’, it only cares about raw political power. Liberty control clearly does not work.  If that were the case, Chicago or Caracas would be the safest cites on the planet. If the Left were truly concerned about these issues, it wouldn’t foment policies that actually render people unsafe, that only serve to enslave their children. In this video from John Stossel Gloria Alvarez reports on how it destroys economies and always has to lead to violence: Socialism is now cool in some cir...

What if they had a shutdown and no one cared?

Do the Leftists really want the people to learn that the government isn’t very important in the context of everyday life? We’ve seen this little drama played out far too many times. The politicians and especially the Left will play their little shutdown game with their comrades in the media hyperventilating over the crisis. Meanwhile, everyone else gets along with their daily lives hardly noticing that our government overseers aren’t keeping us safe from the ravages of freedom and Liberty. What would happen if the people realized that we don’t need most of the government? But what would happen if these shutdowns dragged on too long? What would happen if the people came to the realisation that we don’t need to be spending trillions of dollars to see an ever-tightening constriction on our Liberty? By implication, almost half the government is non-essential according to the Associated Press.  So why are we still paying for it with money we don’t have? Sure, the Democrats...

Let’s just say it: Miracles prove that God exists

The overwhelming evidence makes it difficult to have enough ‘faith’ to be an atheist. The book entitled I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist and the subheading are expressions of the idea that it takes a certain level of ‘faith’ in atheism to deny all the evidence of the existence of God. Consider this idea in terms of this aphorism attributed to Albert Einstein: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” One can try to believe that ‘nothing is a miracle’ but this would take a tremendous amount of denial. There is either overwhelming evidence of the existence of God or there is not. Take into account just a couple of examples of miracles or evidence that the astronomical odds that it’s all a ‘cosmic accident’. Miraculous recoveries such as the one in the story reported here by Lorie Wimble : Doctors baffled as inoperable brain tumor in 11-year-old Roxli Doss miraculously disappe...

Should classical liberals attempt to retake the “liberal” moniker from leftists?

Making the case that Pro-Liberty Conservatives rightfully deserve to be called Liberals. A proper discussion should entail two primary points of contention. Classic Liberals are essentially Liberals. Conservatives are in essence classic liberals. Let’s begin with looking at how the various dictionaries handle the phrase ‘classical liberal’ compared to the original term. In most cases, online dictionaries will default to the original term when searching for the definition of the phrase. Thus, according to these reference sources, ‘classical liberals’ are merely Liberals QED. This should make the case in general terms that Classic Liberals and Liberals are one in the same. The word ‘classic’ also tries to make reference to the original meaning of the word, but that really isn’t the case with most definitions. In many ways, that phrase distinguishes ‘classic Liberals’ from ‘modern Liberals’ , but since the term is closely associated with Liberty, just the word Liberal sh...

Top 5 reasons bump stocks shouldn’t be banned

A semi-satirical look at what is essentially a toy in the celebration of liberty Now that Trump has completed the paperwork on the ‘meaningless gesture’ of the bump stock ban, many are begging off the need for these devices (along with fingers, rubber bands and belt loops). As Michael Corleone famously said,  “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.”  The original intent was to detail the egregious bump stock surrender by the Trump administration. Thankfully, Tammy Rucker detailed the issues of this step onto the slippery slope. For the sake of ‘balance’, we thought we would take a satirical look at the issue. This will be a bit of ‘resistance’ for the cause of Liberty with a soupçon of levity. 1. They are jolly good fun Let’s face it, blasting away at targets at the range can be quite boring (not really, but work with us here).  Who really wants to spend time firing off a few thousand rounds of ammunition on a lazy afternoon at the range?
