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 [...]
Putting aside the question of whether god is a logically valid concept, there are a handful of reasons that no person should consider oneself a Christian even if the Biblical god plainly revealed himself to exist. The simple fact is that his moral failings would be so rampant that no person should grant him praise [...]
Even if someone derived material satisfaction from a theft and never provided restitution for the crime, you might think that person would be happier or better for it. Not so. Material satisfaction is only one aspect of happiness. Self-esteem is also a component of happiness. A major factor of self-esteem is self-reliance. So long as [...]
The response from politicians to the WikiLeaks dump of American embassy cables has been almost universal condemnation, save of course for Ron Paul, who somewhat facetiously made a public request of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to release undisclosed Federal Reserve agreements with foreign governments.
Predictably, you have the Obama administration calling the release [...]
A resurgence of scholarship documenting the structural causes of poverty has been surfacing, according to the New York Times. I think researchers are making some valid insights into the causes of poverty, which sits atop a 15-year high and reaches 44 millions Americans, but they have a huge blind spot for the underlying reasons [...]

I attended the Wake Up America Tea Party in Fort Worth on Saturday as part of a nationwide tea party event. While volunteering at the Campaign for Liberty booth, I got a lot of positive reaction talking with attendees about conventional constitutional ideals.
I knew there would be a fair share of Republicans hitching [...]

Ad hominem attacks aside, YouTuber hawanja’s video on free-market anarchists seems to make the point that people “naturally organize themselves into hierarchies” that require violence to be maintained, so anarchism runs counter to the human condition.
