Generally, I agree that the terms “left” and “right” in the mainstream political vernacular are a false alternative. Both liberals and conservatives support a violent organization that usurps individual rights and autonomy by its very existence. They may do so for different reasons, but both are reactionary hypocrites or at least very confused.

The phrase “tilting at windmills” is often meant as a swipe at someone who incorrectly perceives a non-existent or idealized enemy and pursues a course of action based on that misunderstanding. The phrase was inspired by the the character Don Quixote, who battles make-believe giants taking the form of windmills dotting the countryside [...]
The life of Joseph Stack, the man the FBI believes flew his single-engine airplane into an office complex housing the Internal Revenue Service, ended in tragedy Thursday. It has been reported that at least one other man inside the Austin building was killed following the impact and many others were sent to the [...]
Not only are we all anarchists now, there are abundant examples of anarchism working fabulously well. However, instead of opening anarchic relationships to everyone, governments have worked to abolish them from the private sphere and instead centralize anarchic relationships into the hands of politicians. I know it sounds strange that anarchy [...]
Super activist John Bush, of Austin’s Texans for Accountable Government, posted a commentary on the prevailing notion that liberty could be achieved by seizing control of the Republican Party. I have less care for electoral politics than might Bush, but I think his critique is well founded and should be heeded by those [...]
I admit, the video above cracked me up.
On a serious note, I feel sorry for the young man who posted it. The lessons he is learning now will likely be the foundation for his worldview and affect the relationships he has with others. He no doubt has empathy for others [...]
Jonah Goldberg at National Review Online said that “very serious, committed, consistent libertarians are very rare in America (and really, really rare everywhere else). They don’t come close to constituting a major voting block. I respect folks who seriously believe in liberty-maximization in all spheres of life, but that is not a power-brokering constituency [...]

Kagan and the Constitution
It is frustrating having politicians talk about rights.
Last week, Supreme Court Justice nominee Elena Kagan, the White House’s solicitor general, was being questioned by Sen. Tom Coburn (Okla.) about natural rights.
The day before, he had unsuccessfully tried to get Kagan to concede that the constitution’s Commerce Clause does not give government the power [...]
