US Not in Recession? Bull

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Reuters claims its only slow growth.
I say get real.
The US could be at 35% Unemployment with riots in the streets and mile long breadlines and the press would probably report it as a mild downturn.
They really can’t help it. If they say the whole truth, the US is nearer to financial collapse than […]

On the American People vs. Our 3rd World Institutions

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Like anyone we the American People have our flaws. We can be a bit stupid, cowardly reactionary, classist , cruel and bigoted at times. I freely admit it
Still on the whole we are are basically clever generous and decent.
Unfortunately our so called leadership on the other hand seems to have been […]

H.G. Wells — For the Warmongers

Monday, June 30th, 2008

“We want fine things made for mankind–splendid cities, open ways, more knowledge and power, and more and more and more–and so I offer my game, for a particular as well as a general end; and let us put this prancing monarch and that silly scare-monger, and these excitable “patriots,” and those adventurers, and all the […]

Prosper’s Law of Truth and Taking Offense

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Prospers Law of Truth and Taking Offense states , No one has a right not to be offended by the truth but they do have a right to be offended by slander and libel. In other words, if the show fits wear it.

Canadian Human Rights Commission Drops Complaint VS Mark Steyn and MaCLeans

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I saw it originally on Little Green Footballs though the original article was on Ezra Levant’s Blog.
My only comment is Good. The so called Human Rights Commission is a speech stifling, left wing kangaroo court from all I can tell.
It shames me to see that the left wing blogs have not […]

On Immigration

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Immigration and border control are not race issues folks. They are issues of national rights.
Every nation has a right to decide who crosses the borders, who lives there and why they are there . They can say that want only the best and brightest from the world wherever they may be, that they […]

Politcis is Not all about Power

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

It sounds like a contradiction doesn’t it? But its actually one of the little keys to a good society.
In any society or governing body being civil, being able to compromise and always letting the other guy have a say in the matter is essential.
There is a good practical reason for this rule too […]

The Can’t Do Society

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I don’t agree with Victor Davis Hanson very often but I think his article on the state of America, the Can’t Do Society is spot on.
The United States seems to have slumped from a nation that put a man on the moon to one that can’t maintain its basic infrastructure.
Why this is? I don’t […]

Aristotole on “Why We Must Ignore the Victims” and the 8th Amendment

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Simply.
The Law is Reason Free From Passion.
Almost everyone who is hurt wants to lash out, whether its M.A.D.D becoming in the words of its founder “a Neo Prohibitionist group” or our constant call to ratchet up laws and fear to make us safe from terrorists” or whoever the boogeyman of the week is […]

On the Supreme Court Upholding the Second Amendment

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

The way I figure it the Supreme Court did a decent enough job on this issue. 5-4 in favor on an individual right of sorts.
Personally I would have would have preferred that they had gone farther and said anyone who isn’t in state custody (jail, prison, some kinds of supervised release) […]
