A speech given July 3rd, 2009 at the Lehigh Valley Tea Party in Easton, Pennsylvania
There exists a need for a counter force to the organized Globalist corporatist elite faction. A world organization of liberty factions could be that counter force.
Sarah Palin resigns
by Phil Manger (libertarian, July 4, 2009)
But don't expect the attacks on her to stop
Sarah Palin advances in a different direction...down and out
Looking at Debt as what it really is might straighten things out a bit.
There is a philosophical high ground abandoned Libertarians and Progressives that Conservatives call their own. This article is a quick helicopter tour of the beauties of this land in honor of our Founding Fathers on this July 4th. If, after considering the purchase price of these truths, every body of political thought chooses to plant its flag in these highlands, they are very welcome. There is room enough for all.
North American integration is a deep-rooted agenda that continues on many different fronts. This has not changed under an Obama administration. The fifth annual North American Leaders Summit is set to take place August 8-11 in Mexico.
Traditions often change yet one tradition from the 1800s should be restored to our Fourth of July celebrations. Reading our Declaration of Independence.
ABC’s Nightlie
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, July 3, 2009)
America lacks a mainstream press. What it has is a mainstream cess, as in ‘cesspool.’
In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read in three spots in Pennsylvania following the Fourth of July. One spot was Easton's historic Center Square. 233 years later, a small band of patriots show up once more.
History repeats itself. It is amazing how similar the 1920s and 2000s have become. First, were the unsustainable economic booms; then came the busts. Of course the easy money policies of the Federal Reserve caused both busts.
I reply to criticisms of my 2008 article.
Why Governor Sanford should not resign from office
Mark Sanford thinks he's a media star and that we want to hear about his star-crossed adultery. We don't. We want governors with common sense and honesty.
There has been passed a measure that recommends that the FDA ban both Vicodin and Percocet.
Governor Schwarzenegger’s May balanced budget proposal included almost 650 million in savings from Welfare Reform. These reforms were enacted for the rest of the United States back in the 1990’s, the last time the federal government had even a look at a balanced budget. The reforms are good for everyone. They will work for the individuals involved. They’ll work for the State of California, and they’ll help the nation.
My Week With Acton

In Grand Rapids, MI there is an organization and think-tank that still believes in liberty and free markets
Media Bias Continues
by Ron Stephens (libertarian, July 1, 2009)
Iraqi milestone gets under reported.
Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.
Although the goals of Socialism are noble, in practice it cannot achieve those goals.
.... debasing the dollar to prop up the housing boom that the FED created.
I make a point to my Congressman that he should seek solutions, not just complain and promote hypocrisy.
As Cap and Trade races through Congress, here is a question - Who will benefit? The environment and us or Government Sachs?
The fundamental way in which we view and interpret the Creditor-Debtor relationship resolves the very same issues Liability creates.
Strike The Root
by James Goodfellow (libertarian, June 26, 2009)
There is a root cause of the economic hell this country is enduring, and it is unnecessary.
An analysis of what went on prior to the election and subsequent protests and violence. A look at the road ahead.
I reach very nearly the end of the road in reporting how Barr 2008 spent its donors' money.
Unless we replace the awful, inefficient and profit driven private health insurance industry with a government single payer system there is no real health care reform.
California Republicans should trade a new oil tax for a new offshore oil lease. They are broiling over the proposed oil severance tax, and coastal dwelling Democrats are reeling over a single new oil lease that allows not even one new oil rig to touch California's shining seas. Be Americans: make a deal!
Splinters. That's all we are any more. There is a polarizing force in the center propelling everyone out towards the edges. That force is self-interest and stupidity.
Upon observing your recent vote for the resolution expressing support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and rule of law, I cannot help but remember not hearing anything from you supporting the protestors of the Democrat and Republican National Conventions this past Presidential election year.
A few humble observations, and a few impertinent questions.
Talking Trash
by George Dance (libertarian, June 24, 2009)
Does privatization make garbage collection less reliable, or more?
Were we really making a change when we replaced the Republicans with the Democrats last year? Uh, no!
Our current economic condition is mired in the privlege of "limited liability". While we search for trillion dollar answers, there are remedies that are fairly painless.
Malalai Joya, an ex-Member of the Afghan Parliament expelled from office for denouncing warlords, "a mafia in power", as she says, granted an outspoken interview to a Brazilian website, shamefully modified. Bad luck to world mafia: she sent us the original version. We publish "both interviews" here, and analyse how works the tendentious media. The more time goes by, the more clearly we see the puppets in the Empire. Prepare yourself to cry. Prepare yourself to vomit with us
Is this another example of government overstepping it's constitutional bounds, and also violating our 4th amendment right to privacy?
As I gazed today into the smokey ruins of our immediate future, I asked myself where America will likely turn its attention next when current policies fail. The answer I found turned my blood cold.
...and why it both does and does not matter.
An increased continental approach to security which includes law enforcement, border initiatives and the military could serve to further bind North America into a single foreign policy entity.
June 20, 2009 will be a famous day in the history of Iran.
I continue my examination of the Barr 2008 Presidential campaign, whose spending followed a novel approach to doing politics.
If private insurance companies had any interest or desire to provide Americans with a high-quality healthcare system, it has had half a century to do it and hasn’t. Private industry has no interest in solving social problems. Never has, never will have. It’s only interest is profit. And profit buys no medicine.
Suggests an infallible unstoppable way to term limit Congress
How the Jewish vote went for Obama this last election, was very indicative of how all minorities voted.
The power to feed oneself, one’s family and one’s neighbors is a power so guttural, so primal, that it germinates the seeds of fear within the heart of tyranny.
State budget cuts may hoist the axe to California parks. What effect does this have on basic Property Rights?
After at least 47 years and $13 trillion in public funding, isn't it time to look in a different direction?
America was built on the bedrock of Liberty and recognizes no regent. The only way to force a true American to bow to any form of tyranny is with a blow to the back of the head...
California funding for U.C. research projects is 675 million dollars a year. Even as the state budget has collapsed, the spending of real U.C. research dollars has increased. Much of this "research" shows little evidence of fiscal or moral profit for the citizens of California. War with this behemoth could save CAL Grant aide for California's students. This is a prize fight worthy of the governor's most Herculean efforts.
