Introduction to Libertarianism.

By Mark Berny.

Basically, throughout the human history there were only two types of political philosophy: Freedom and Authority. Either people were allowed to live their lives and respect the rights of others or they were allowed to impose views and actions on others, controlling their property and lives.

Letter 2. Standing on the shoulders of giants

Every first-time reader can attest that there is some mysterious quality in our Constitution. It is hard to determine what is more enticing: the laconic yet elegant phrasing,  its completeness or the almost childish astonishment elicited by this tiny booklet’s great wisdom

Letter 1. Preamble to The United States Constitution

On this beautiful September day, a certain group of people was very tired, excited and in a big rush. They resolved insurmountable problem, managed unmanageable situation and finally had to see the result of their titanic work, the work which would define the destiny of the generations to come. And they did have problems on their hands. Piling debt, enormous debt, way above yearly GDP. People divided not only by their ethnicity, but also by culture and language. Forget about language - even topography was crucial: you couldn't put hillside Carolinians with the folks from the plains in the same room without imminent brawl ensued.

Wall Street On Trial

The Manhattan Institute is proud to present… the second in a series of animated videos created by Andrew Klavan, City Journal contributing editor and creator of “Klavan on the Culture”

Looking to blame someone for the recent financial crash, Occupy Wall Street protestors turned their wrath on America’s bankers and corporations. But are the bulwarks of capitalism really just cartoon caricatures of selfishness and greed?

Debt ceiling: make the right cuts in the right places

By Ilya Galak, Citizens Magazine

Many conservatives have been antagonizing Congressional Republicans for supporting the plan to raise the debt ceiling. They said that rather than going deeper into debt we should cut unnecessary spending and follow a policy of fiscal responsibility; normally I would completely agree with this. However, at this time in particular I cannot, and I’ll explain why.

Understanding UN Bias Against Israel

By ZionEDL

The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has made the democratic State of Israel the target of incessant condemnation while neglecting its mandate in challenging the oppressive regimes around the world.

Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder

“Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder”: Savage Solutions is the twentieth book written by conservative radio personality Michael Savage.
In the book, Michael Savage accuses liberals and leftists of making political moves which undermine the basic tenets of American life including marriage, the U.S. Constitution, The bill of rights, and the Ten Commandments. One chapter is dedicated to his criticisms of radical Islam, which he calls “Islamofascism”. In each chapter is a “Savage Spotlight of Truth” that purports to cast a light on how liberals spread their political agenda.

Eat The Rich!

We want to achieve a new and better order of society: in this new and better society there must be neither rich nor poor; all will have to work. Not a handful of rich people, but all the working people must enjoy the fruits of their common labour. Machines and other improvements must serve to ease the work of all and not to enable a few to grow rich at the expense of millions and tens of millions of people. This new and better society is called socialist society. The teachings about this society are called socialism.

Vladimir Lenin, Russia, 1903

Politicians, are you kidding me?

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U. S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay.

While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term.

It just does not make any sense.

How Government Works

The government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said someone may steal from it at night; so they created a night watchman, and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning division and hired two people, one person to write the instructions and one person to do time studies.

Tax cuts for dummies

Our tax system explained in terms of beer using actual percentages, the impact of a tax cut, and the public reaction that everyone should be able to understand.

Let’s put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

Barack Obama’s Budget Rules

Barack Obama’s Budget Rules

1. If Obama calls deficit spending an investment, then it must not cost anything.

2. Cutting a billion dollars from the military justifies giving a trillion dollars to unions.

3. When Obama sends a spending proposal to Congress, it doesn’t count if they want to spend even more...

Limit Congress to 2 terms: 1 in office, 1 in jail

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U. S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay.
While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term.
It just does not make any sense.

But they vote…

Mark Dice talks with beachgoers in San Diego, California to ask them why the 4th of July holiday was started. Many of them have no clue at all and simply agree with him when he insinuates blatantly false explanations.

Unions

Two guys and a union worker were fishing on a lake one day, when Jesus walked across the water and joined them in the boat. When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first guy asked humbly, “Jesus, I’ve suffered from back pain ever since I took shrapnel in the Vietnam war…could you help me? ”Of course, my son”, Jesus said, and when he touched the man’s back, he felt relief for the first time in years.

Vote or Lose

“They first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me – and by that time no one was left to speak up”

Mosque Makeovers With United States Tax Dollars

At a time when our country has a $1.5 TRILLION deficit, we should be cutting everything possible in sight, right? So why do we have a $770 million program to fix up mosques overseas?
