      posted in Big Gov & Columns & Numbers & Politics & Govt

      The best thing about math is that it’s a constant. The numbers are what they are. That’s why I’m a data guy, because as a person that believes in absolute truth I have a tendency to like things cut and dried. Leading up to the 2012 election several lies and clever myths were postulated by [...]

    • It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn - 26 Nov 2012
      posted in Columns & Corruption & Vote

      Honesty is always the best policy because when you’re fooling yourself you’re not fooling anyone else.  The recent election should have been a wake-up call for everyone committed to the traditional principles of our great Republic: constitutionally limited government, personal liberty, and economic freedom.  The weeping has lasted for a night, and now it is [...]

      posted in Columns & The Constitution

      The November 6 election outcome has many friends of the Constitution dispirited.

      Disbelief is the word that defines the Republican state of mind in the wake of the 2012 re-election of President Barack Obama. The obvious questions are: “How can Americans have re-elected a president who has presided over an economy where unemployment still hovers at 8 percent?” And, “How can Americans have re-elected a president who [...]

    • Is There Any Hope of Change? - 07 Sep 2012
      posted in Big Gov & Civil Liberties & Columns & Economy & The Constitution & Tyranny

      The two major political parties have a lock on power in the United States. The election laws, the media and family voting patterns all collude to make the election of a third party candidate to the Presidency a near impossibility. The closest in the lifetime of anyone reading this happened in 1992 when Ross Perot [...]

      posted in Big Gov & Civil Liberties & Economy & Inflation & Money & Property

      The causes of our problems are not hard to see.  Americans aren’t obese because evil restauranteers are forcing them to eat fried butter on a stick.  We are bulging at the seams because we eat too much and exercise too little.  Americans aren’t trapped in upside down mortgages because evil bankers waylaid us and forced [...]
