Supreme Court will Uphold our Right to Gun Ownership
by Kenn Jacobine (libertarian, March 11, 2010)

The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is one of the most debated portions of that document. For generations the controversy in question is whether the Founders intended to give the right to keep and bear arms only to militias or also to individual citizens not serving in the military.


Not All the News that's Fit to Print

We should implement Asimov's 3 laws to protect us from our inhuman creations-not robots but corporations.
by Russell G. Davis (centrist, March 11, 2010)

The Citizen's United Supreme Court decision may unleash the legal equivalent of Brainiac and Ultron upon our country. We can thwart this by implementing the protections Issac Asimov recommended and applying them to these newly legal persons, the 3 laws of Robotics.


Obama's health care campaign sells bad medicine
by Gary Wood (conservative libertarian, March 11, 2010)

There was a time snake oil salesmen travelled the country peddling their lotions, potions and wares as the cure people needed for what ailed them. On the first visit to a town sales could be brisk but if it turned out to be bad medicine subsequent visits could be very difficult.

RECESSION, DEPRESSION OR SYSTEMATIC BREAKDOWN
by Jim Quinn (libertarian, March 5, 2010)

Trust in the American financial system and its leaders is dissipating rapidly. At some point in the not-too-distant future, the U.S. Treasury will attempt to sell debt and foreign buyers will boycott the auction. That will mark the point of no return. The unprecedented levels of debt propping up the American Empire cannot withstand higher interest rates. When it collapses under the weight of its massive debt, the dollar will crash and hyperinflation will result.

The Dangers of Legal Abortion
by Amy Kelly (libertarian, March 5, 2010)

Legal abortions have led to an increase of medical problems for women, including cancer, infertility, and death. Abortion is under regulated and women are ignorant of the dangers from what is essentially a medically unnecessary procedure. Women are being lied to. Despite it's intent, Roe v. Wade has caused more deaths and damage to women.


Repubs Rebuffed--Not the Party of NO
by 1deciple (libertarian, March 4, 2010)

Pundits on the left and untruthful Democrats have given Republicans a bum rap, calling them 'the party of NO'. Truth is, they had plenty of ideas to bring to the table, but were shut out by Pelosi and the Democrats.

"Anarchists" for "Total Government"

by Self Made Man (libertarian, March 3, 2010)

Over the past century there has been a sweeping alteration to how Americans receive their news. From the printing press to the advent of radio and TV, to the creation of the internet, they all have had great impacts on how Americans express themselves.


If Obama is a Socialist then the Pope is a Muslim!
by Russell G. Davis (centrist, March 3, 2010)

There are similarities between what is going on now in the White House and what went on in past administrations that resemble what went on in Tolkien and Herbert’s novels. The dynamic of those elites close to a leader betraying the followers and creating a disaster is relevant to all of us right now, regardless of where we find ourselves on the Nolan Chart!


Washington Can’t Even Run a Mail Delivery System

How can Uncle Sam run national healthcare when it can’t even run a mail delivery system?


Fools' Rules
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, March 3, 2010)

Should law be based on rules or principles? What is the its goal? To enact rules that authorities want people to obey or to outlaw wrongdoing? The former allows the law to be used to make people conform. But conformity and freedom are incompatible. Rules-based systems turn people into sheep, allowing them to live without making moral choices. Maybe people prefer that; if so, any hope of alleviating the human condition must be abandoned, since sheep are easily led to the sheering.
