Posted on October 21, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that socialism is a religion. The committed socialist behaves exactly as if he or she is a member of a cult. A body where their God is the collective, to be sure, but … Continue reading →

Our Constitutional Crisis

Posted on October 17, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the debt ceiling and government shutdown is not about spending, and it is not about winning or loosing a mere political battle, it is a Constitutional crisis. The needless rhetoric that has been … Continue reading →

Government Shutdown

Posted on October 6, 2013 by john

Our Bright Future

Posted on October 3, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, I usually warn about potential threats to our liberty and prosperity, but that gives a skewed impression of my true beliefs about the future. I do see many possible dangers facing us, some … Continue reading →

Missing the Forest For the Trees

Posted on September 29, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, it is human nature to ignore the big things we agree on, and vilify each other for the little things we disagree on. Christianity is one example. There are protestants who believe the … Continue reading →

Things that Work and Things that Don’t Work

Posted on September 26, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, no matter how much someone wants a thing to be true, if it is not, it is not, and never will be. The desire of a person bears not a whit on reality. … Continue reading →

The Economic Argument Why Obama Care Must be Defunded

Posted on September 23, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me… Obama care is an economic train wreck. The devastation it’s already done, has lowered the standard of living of the World’s people for generations, let alone the future damage it will do. Since … Continue reading →

The Slippery Slope of Utilitarianism

Posted on September 19, 2013 by john
