Rabbi Adam Jacobs wrote “An Open Letter to the Atheist Community,” the title of which is sort of based a misunderstanding. The only thing atheists share is an absence in a belief in something. That is not grounds to be called a community. Atheism tells nothing of what a person actually believes to be [...]
The city of Dallas, in concert with the federal government, has a relatively new program to grant immigration visas to foreign nationals in exchange for investing in Dallas business projects. The program has targeted investors from Mexico but has expanded to other countries as well. On one hand, I appreciate that the federal government [...]
William Pierce, who according to Wikipedia, was a white nationalist and founder of Cosmotheism, “a religion based on white racialism, pantheism, eugenics, and National Socialism.” Until his death in 2002, he was probably most well-known as the author of “The Turner Diaries,” which depicts a violent revolution leading to the overthrow of the [...]
The Republican-controlled Texas state senate last week passed SB 16, which if made law would require women thinking of aborting their pregnancy to first perform a sonogram. Texas law already requires, unjustly I believe, a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion could be performed by a licensed physician. This new legislation would dictate what [...]
In his inaugural speech (also on YouTube) as a United State senator, Rand Paul gave an inspirational talk about the virtue of not compromising on issues of morality.
He gave a telling of the political career of former Kentucky Senator Henry Clay, the Great Compromiser, who helped orchestrate the extension of slavery [...]
Concerning the protests against then-Egyptian ruler Hosni Mubarak, Barack Obama released a supportive statement on Jan. 28 addressing the popular revolt that eventually led to Mubarak’s ousting.
Obama expressed that the “people of Egypt have rights that are universal.” Later, he added, “Violence will not address the grievances of the Egyptian people. And suppressing ideas [...]
Francios Tremblay’s Feb. 6 line that “Our society is built on the principle of generalized competition” is sort of the inspiration for the comments below, but I do not mean for this to be a rebuttal of Tremblay’s entire post, if only because he nevertheless makes many valid points about the present nature of [...]

Explaining Why Taxation Is Theft
I recently saw a video clip of Michael Moore calling other people’s money “a national resource.” I have to agree that in some cases other people’s money is not truly their own. For example, the wealth of Moore and others who benefit from government privileges, in Moore’s case intellectual property laws, would belong [...]
