So long, old friend. Libertarians hate you. I, Roads But, who would take care of the roads! Or the airports! Or the [insert state-monopolized capital asset here]! And that’s where someone asks you a question that is impossible to answer. The Statist Roads Argument (SRA) rears its silly head. If someone asks you how a pencil [...]
The Young Activitists New ideas, by their very nature, find root in the fertile soil of young minds. Liberals are no longer the bearers of new ideas. Conservatives are still ridiculous. Both groups are hoping enough interested people are out there who prefer their brand of statism and phony philosophies, both of which have been [...]
Stop Messing with Democracy! Doug Wead, a presidential historian, powerful public speaker, and adviser to the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, stopped by Rachel Maddow’s show last week to help her “break” the story that the straw polls at presidential caucuses in Iowa, Minnesota, and most recently Maine, are more like beauty pageants than actual parts [...]
