Why I'm An Atheist Supportive of Religion and...
Atheists, I notice, are generally classified as anti-theist. I resent this generalization, because it’s obviously not true for all atheists. But I do acknowledge that most other atheists I talk to say the world would be a better place without religion at all. I would agree to an extent.
The Holocaust probably wouldn’t have happened, and it is true that this war in the Middle-East...

Reason #45 California is BAD For Small Business

So check this out… Earmilk likes to media sponsor live events. Basically, if we like your event, we’ll throw you a few thousand bucks worth of advertising for free. In exchange, you throw our logo on your flyers and give us tickets to give away. Alrighty then, that’s pretty simple, right… let’s move al…

Fed To Push "Operation Twist" in Order to Lower... →
The Federal Reserve announced “Operation Twist” Wednesday, a widely expected stimulus move reviving a policy from the 1960’s.
The policy involves selling $400 billion in short-term Treasuries in exchange for the same amount of longer-term bonds, starting in October and ending in June 2012.
While the move does not mean the Fed will pump additional money into the economy,...

New Tag for TBP: Explanations
I’ve created a tag where I’m sending my major explanations in one convenient spot for anyone to look at.
I’ve also fixed my “Minarchy” tag. I found out today it linked to all my tags of “Minachy” instead of “Minarchy”. Needless to say, there were no tags in there. So it’s fixed now!

Noting to Self and Interested Followers:
These are mights, but I’m thinking of making a posts concerning Environmental Regulations, concerning the idea of Minarchy and our American Constitution, and the idea of how to phase out of Social Security given that the economy is almost completely moved to free-markets. Yes, these are obviously very subjective and I understand that me saying “phase out of Social Security” makes...

People boo’d Ron Paul’s sentiment that our actions oversees are self-destructive and morally wrong. That’s a little scary, and extremely lacks empathy.

Candidates are Asked About the Fed:
Santorum: Wants a single-charter instead of a dual-charter, but desires keeping it around. He supports an Audit, but an obvious continuation of policies. All he mentioned was “it needs sound money” as any kind of reply. Seems pretty vague to me.
Cain: It should be audited, but should be “fixed” and not eliminated. Cain claims that decades ago the Fed did a very good job...

booksofthought replied to your post: Ron Paul
Please post Ron Paul’s answers and statements tonight, for those of us who don’t have TV service. Some highlights of the ridiculousness of other candidates should prove entertaining too. Thanks!
I will absolutely try my best!

My Thoughts On 9/11
letterstomycountry:
There are many of us, on both the Left and the Right (mostly the Libertarian Right), who have become somewhat uneasy regarding the legacy of 9/11. And today, while we remember the victims, and grant the surviving friends and family due solemnity, there seems to me no more appropriate time to voice this disconcerting ambivalence. For it is often in our darkest moments that...

I understand many people despise the 9/11 anniversary. I understand that because the politicians have exploited it, it seems artificial. I understand wanting to make jokes about it. I’m fine with all of that.
But I think disrespecting its anniversary as a whole is pretty uncalled for. We were attacked. 3,000 of our people died. Yes, I know we’ve killed hundreds of thousands of...

ronpaulrevolution replied to your post: I was generally disappointed with Ron Paul during the debate tonight…
He wasn’t able to talk about anything like that because they were to busy asking him irrelevant questions. When they were talking about the Federal Reserve and foreign policy they ignored him.
Which is why I said I think most of the fault is on the moderators. Usually he gets...

Now, to be perfectly fair, he got very little questions. Every single candidate got at least 4 more questions than he did. And that’s awful on its own. But he didn’t really harp on his Libertarian ideals so much.
At some parts, true, he did. For instance, he talked about the TSA for a bit. But nothing really substantial to not make him seem run-of-the-mill to people who don’t...

Ron Paul just said something very interesting:
It was on the topic of immigration reform. All of the other candidates were talking about a fence and stricter border controls when Ron Paul mentioned that a fence works both ways. It may be meant to keep illegals out, but it really could also be used to keep us in.
I mean, right now, the government practically controls international transportation. Our freest means of leaving is by ground...

Credit and Full-Reserve Banking: Not Mutually...
The Austrian Business Cycle Theory focuses on the errors of the exponential expansion of credit caused by the fractional-reserve banking system, and therefor artificial low interest rates, created by central banks. Though, despite these flaws in the economy, many free-banking proponents still support banks practicing the fractional-reserve banking. I am among these proponents. However, when we say...

In 1994, abortion-lobby champion Ted Kennedy passed the Free Access to Clinics Act (FACE), which imposes stricter limitations on peaceful protests of abortion clinics than any other peaceful protest.
This law, which strikes me as pretty darn unconstitutional, has never really been enforced. Tom McClusky at the Family Research Council says the decision to not...

It sounds like your running out of excuses. soon you will be an anarchist!
Actually no! I just believe, and this would take an entire post to explain, that a Minarchy is not compatible with a Representative Republic. Our specific Constitution would need some changes and ratification in order for a Minarchy to work, and that would...

Random Unpopular Opinion:
Representative Republics are ultimately a failure. Ultimately.
Not bashing on our Constitution (because it is great and has upheld itself for centuries), nor am I saying our country is horrible, because it is not. But ultimately it leads to broken systems. We will never have one pure system that works. We’d either have an honest mixed-economy (which we never have had) which we know would...
