An open letter to all 535 voting members of the United States Congress: Are you serious? From the Postal Service to AmTrak to Social Security to Cash for Clunkers...not one solvent venture in nearly 250 years of trying. Please...please...please! Stop helping us!

Most rational adults take the advice and warnings coming from sources of authority fairly seriously. However, as Tom Robbins once quipped, "for authority to be respected it must first be respectable." The current administration--aided in no small part by the facts-be-damned perspective of Al Gore--continues to beat this off-key drum with rather staggering disregard for the truth or the objective science of the claims advanced. This sort of thing would be downright silly, were it not for the shocking price tag associated with the new tax obligation reaching us all (in the form of Cap & Trade).

Health Care is Not a Right

When HillaryCare was first spawned, rational minds began to search for a rebuttal that would strike at the heart of why this was such an un-American ideal. Philosopher Leonard Peikoff articulated the root problem in a 1993 speech, and it applies equally to Obama’s so-called reforms.

Stupidity, ignorance, or insanity...government in our lives
Posted by hglee on: Wednesday 08 July @ 10:12:00 (read: 115 times)

Walter Williams recently published an article that strikes at the heart of American intellectual apathy as it relates to their government. Those frustrated by the call that "government should do something" are the very same who place congressional approval ratings in the single digits. Far from an interesting observational factoid, Williams points out something at the root of our philosophical apathy that is well worth the read.
