Dear Friends, Free healthcare for illegals is grand,Only the heartless wouldn’t join the band,Unlimited money,With jars of honey,And the citizen gets a nail in his hand. A foolish person will cast shade,Projecting in ways retrograde,Give him the mike,We must think … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, When asked a true believer once vied,It doesn’t matter how many have died,History is gone,You’re a pawn,Because real socialism has never been tried. Bureaucrats consider themselves philosopher kings,With wisdom honor and righteousness the air rings,Far above the law,As … Continue reading →

Canada And The Central Planning Trap

Posted on January 9, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, Canada is on the path to Venezuela. Venezuela was the richest country in South America after the oil boom. Once the communists gained power it went from the richest to the poorest. Not because … Continue reading →

Government Accountability

Posted on December 3, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, if an accountant messes up your taxes, a plumber ruins your plumbing, or an electrician shorts out your wiring, they are accountable to repair it… a government should be just as accountable for its … Continue reading →

How the Administrative State Is Fueling Public Anger in the West

Posted on November 16, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the longer a person or people hold anger in, the greater the explosion when it emerges. People aren’t sane when they are angry. Neither you nor I are rational when in a state of … Continue reading →

Imbalances of Power and The State

Posted on September 23, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, there are a myriad of reasons to increase the power, scope, and role of the State… and all of them are spurious. The arguments sound logical but are in fact circular and meant to … Continue reading →

Modern Bigots

Posted on July 19, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a society that gives special treatment to certain groups of people, is at it’s core bigoted. Special treatment is how you can tell which groups have political favor. The elite as a group always … Continue reading →

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Posted on April 15, 2022 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, war is always the answer to every problem… for the pathological, psychopathic and stupid. Why discuss issues when we can just force others to agree by waging war on them. Whether they don’t want … Continue reading →

Tyranny By Criminal Charge
