One of the important lessons to be derived from observations of politics and economics is this: the larger the sphere of control, the more dangerous it is, and the more prone to mistakes that can damage more people.
As a result, decentralization of political units, run through smaller, autonomous -- or close-to autonomous -- control spheres, is generally more conducive to human freedom and to…
The Identity Politics Chickens have come home to roost.
In a new piece published on December 31, Reason’s Robby Soave reports that the organizers of the Eureka, California, “Women’s March” have cancelled their auspicious Postmodernist, “identity politics”, collectivism-pushing event.
Why? Those who were attending this march to “empower” (i.e. push fascist and collectivist legislation) the “…
TheRoot.com commentator Michael Harriot has a way of infusing his racially charged pieces with a lot of humor, satire, and glib turns of phrase, so it’s easy to enjoy his writing and finish with a neutral feeling of, “well, that one was intense, but he did it with a smile.”
Unfortunately, on December 27, Mr. Harriot lampooned the creation of a man I know, and did a disservice to the…
Newly elected NY Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Ortez, 40 Democrats in DC, and many pop media “reporters” seem trapped in a Neverland of perpetual adolescence, an eternal twilight of collectivist “us-we” terminology, soothsaying economics, and mythological “history” foist on them by government-run schools.
In fact, many of them love collectivist mythology so much they are quivering with…
Between 1265 and 1274, St. Thomas Aquinas wrote what was to become his most influential work, “The Summa Theologica.”
It was a 3,500 page philosophical opus in which Aquinas attempted to reconcile Aristotelian metaphysics with Christian doctrine through the use of deductive and inductive reasoning. He wanted to prove that Aristotle’s “Prime Mover” behind the cosmos was, in fact, God. Aquinas…
Last week, I reported on the jaw-dropping defense laid out by “Coward of Broward” pariah cop Scot Peterson for a wrongful death case brought by the parent of one of the victims of the February 2018 mass murder at Stoneman Douglas High, in Parkland, Florida.
In that case, Broward County Circuit Court judge Patti Englander expressed shock and disgust at Peterson’s defense: that police have no…
Well, well, well.
One of the most controversial figures in contemporary American politics, the man who said that he exploited the “stupidity of the American voter,” and intentionally made Obamacare vague, on Dec. 15 ran crying to his hideaway pals at the Boston Globe after a Federal District Court judge struck down his lovely creation, the fascistic “Obamacare” law.
And, though the exercise…
Hey! Collectivists in D.C. are readying another anti-Constitutional attack on rights that criminally-minded people won’t bother abiding!
As the Democrats prepare to roll their tax-and-spend gravy train into the House of Representatives, numerous high-profile donkeys have readied a repeat of stunningly dangerous legislation they proposed last year. It’s a mandate that no gun sale can be private.…
Barack Obama (or his PR team) Saturday scrambled onto increasingly censorious Facebook to “reassure” frightened American sheeple that Federal District Judge Reed O’Connor’s December 14 strike-down of the so-called “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (also known as “Affordable Care Act” or “ACA”), shouldn’t dissuade folks from believing in the future of his socialist-fascist medical…
Scot Peterson -- the school police officer whose appellation became “The Coward of Broward” after he refused to protect students in Parkland, Florida’s Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High while a killer murdered 17 people and wounded 17 others -- is in court right now, defending against a negligence suit brought by the parent of one of the deceased.
And, true to fashion for agents of the state, he…
