“What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi What follows is less than a scholarly tome. It is an accumulation of thoughts gleaned from a lifetime of personal observation and study, so I only propose it as something to think about. My premise is…
I’ve been really negative over the past few years…actually since about midway through the first W.Bush term due to how the Democrats, having recovered from their momentary brush with reality after 9/11, saw political advantage in every single wartime setback and chose to honor their 60’s anti-establishment roots by ripping America and every citizen who…
The rich are different. They are rich. Whether ideologically (collectivism), rhetorically (speeches) or physically (protests), the progressive movement seeks to organize the “masses” against “the rich”. They try to sell the idea that life is a zero sum game and if someone has more than you do, they must have done something to you to…
Capitalism Under Natural Law I am well aware that many of the people who read my posts have had difficulty with my position on Capitalism. I am also aware that these difficulties are compounded by the limitations of this medium and my style of writing. I know that many read arrogance and condescension into my words…
LESSONS IN LOGIC: Taking the Hobby Lobby Case to Its Logical Conclusions The Hobby Lobby case is an excellent example of what happens when we turn Natural Law on its head to suit our desires rather than seek to structure our society to work according to that same Natural Law. In short, it illustrates what happens…
D’Souza vs. Ayers at Dartmouth 30 January 2014 This is learning. Actively listen. Consider if both Ayers and D’Souza are being honest or misrepresenting truth? Evaluate the difference in their points of view. Ayers; Chicago tops Ayers list. What is Chicago’s reputation? Notice how expert Ayers is at interweaving “collective authority” and “democracy” and “social…
You should read this one — all of it. If you are Conservative, you need to rad it more than the Leftists do. LESSONS IN LOGIC: Capitalism isn’t necessarily the same as the Free Market I was reading a post on the Rio Norte Line. It was written by a friend of mine, so I…
Really ! ? ! Once you read the findings of the Brookings Institute’s study on “cash for clunkers”, you might think, “lesson learned”, The Federal Government won’t do that again. However, read further down and you will see where I linked Frederic Bastiat’s classical explanation which he penned in 1848. 1848 “Cash for clunkers” implemented…
INSANITY IN THE HEADLINES: The Persistent Delusion that Socialism can be made to Function I call this insanity for a simple reason: history has condemned socialism. No matter how many times it is tried, it has always failed. It always will. Socialism cannot work for a simple reason: it contradicts Natural Law. Yet, no…
FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW The Essence of Money as it Relates to Natural Law/Natural Rights Many of the posts in this series, “FUNDAMENTALS OF NATURAL LAW,” may be less than captivating. So, why would a person want to spend their time reading and trying to understand the principles and concepts discussed in this series? …
Milton Friedman, one of the three great economists of the 20th century, provided the definitive analysis of the Great Depression in his book, THE GREAT CONTRACTION, which was originally a chapter in his classic study, THE MONETARY HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES: 1867 – 1960. Friedman detailed how Franklin Roosevelt’s economic policies deepened and extended…
AGENDAS: Is The Engineered Collapse Of America Finally At Hand? The Warning Signs That Few Will Even Recognize – Because We Do Not Think Like Marxists I have been trying to warn people that our monetary system is under attack, and that it is being set up for a fall by people within our own…
TRUTH: The American Left ARE Communists And Communism ALWAYS Leads To Tyranny And Poverty For The Masses – ALWAYS! They call themselves by many different names — Progressives, Liberals and Socialists – but they are all Collectivists…and they have control of our schools, our media and our government. This is why the majority of Americans…
I’m sure US companies will be coming home to America to provide more jobs with the help of Obamacare and all its advantages; lower “insurance” premiums, equality of treatment of all individuals and companies and entities, increased privacy and security, more doctors and hospitals and healthcare providers. . . NOT. Economist John Lott,Phd. explains here:…
Lessons In Economics All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, so much as downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation. – John Adams Our founders believed that educating the common citizen about the…
I couldn’t get this to post in the comments section, but this post is intended to provide a visual aid to Utah’s post on the glorious workers revolution. The issue at hand is Karl’s assertion that Communism is better than Capitalism. SO, in true Sesame Street fashion (i.e. pictures), I ask you: Which side of…
I’m not dead – just have been neglecting the blog due to being incredibly busy with a couple of projects that have determined that I need to work on them simultaneously…but this from Walter Williams is pure, freshly squeezed brilliance: No one can blame you if you start out in life poor, because how you…
AGENDAS: Global Control, Energy And The ‘Syrian Issue’ Energy Is The Same As Money I contend that what is happening in Syria is about the struggle for global control. First of all, I dismiss the assertion that the Obama Administration wants to attack Syria because they used chemical weapons. First, there is serious question…
Now for something completely different…. Well not really. You see we have all been here before. For the last 3 years in the late summer as kids go back to school and parents around the Nation rejoices there is a little bit of theater that goes on being played out in the Nation’s Capitol. It…
RNL read, Comrade Karl, posted this comment: Capital is unnecessary for society. You don’t need money to build a factory or a laboratory. All you need is materials and laborers. Capital is just an inefficient way for a few to control the materials and labor of the collective. Plus you have failed to illustrate how…
