I am troubled.  I have been a member of the Campaign for Liberty for almost two years now.  During the 2008 presidential campaign I came across a little book called The Revolution: A Manifesto by Dr. Ron Paul and had a transformational experience which you can read about here.  Since that time, I have continued [...]

My daughter is coming into an age in which she is absorbing knowledge and ideas like a sponge.  This has made me keenly aware that there are many competing ideologies out there among children’s books and television programs.  Most people see cartoonish pictures of animals, cuddly dancing monsters and simple lessons on numbers and the [...]

I sent the following letter to the RNC Chairman at http://www.gop.com/Connect/ContactUs.htm.  I encourage everyone to send one of their own.
Mr. Chairman,
As the Republican leadership considers why we lost the election, I hope you will consider the following points:
1)  George W. Bush won in 2000 running on traditional Republican principles such as limited government, free market [...]

Here is a video version of a powerpoint/keynote presentation I made to summarize the key points of Ron Paul’s The Revolution: A Manifesto.  The presentation has several extra slides that aren’t in the video that cover more issues like the income tax and the environment.
Here is the powerpoint file if you’d like to give it [...]

Recently, in our world of political ideas, words like Socialist and Fascist have made a resurgent comeback.  Some people hurl them at domestic opponents and foreign enemies alike in order to rouse emotional responses.  Others seek to redefine them to make them more avoidable or even acceptable, and still others seek to make them taboo [...]

Isn’t voting a pain in the ass?  My vote is just one little ballot in a sea of millions; statistically meaningless, yet it feels so important.  The 2008 presidential election has caused me more intellectual grief and ideological heartache than all of my previous voting experiences combined.  Finally, just a couple of weeks before the [...]

I found this short metaphor to be very interesting:

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and 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:
                
               The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
               The fifth would pay [...]

I get irritated watching Fox News; partially because of their conservative bias, but mostly because of their extreme sensationalism.  If there is a car chase or a pseudo-celebrity meltdown happening somewhere in the country, you know you’ll be able to see it on Fox.  During the Republican Convention last night they did not even bother to show [...]

Note for new readers: due to my “Revolution in Thinking” brought on primarily by Ron Paul’s The Revolution: A Manifesto, my opinions on this subject are in flux.  I still think that the Empire is realizable for America as a nation with a changing government, but I now believe that an Empire such as the one [...]
