Commentary on The News
By Nathan A. Barton © 2010 Mark
Steyn, that irrepressible Canadian expatriate, has an interesting
commentary posted at Freedom's Phoenix as of Monday. I agree
with
his
analysis of the First Citizen's "message:
More Washington, more microregulation of every aspect of your life,
more multi-trillion-dollar spending, and no agreed rules in a game ever
more rigged against you." This has been the message of the last
year,
and there is no reason to see it any better this year. (Read

External Articles Despite all the lovey-dovey rhetoric about the supposed greatness of “democracy,” there’s only one thing its proponents want it for: to get moral permission to force their preferences, opinions and ideas on other people. People vote, hoping “their guy” will win. Why? So their own interests and agenda, and not the interests and agenda of the people who voted for “the other guy,” will be served by the machine of “government.” And everything “government” does, it does by threat of force.

Our Right To Defend Ourselves RKBA Resources National Gun Rights Examiner The Brady Campaign trying to drag Starbucks
Coffee into the anti-open carry debate is, like the core mission of the
gungrabbers, senseless, punitive of the innocent and fundamentally

get all hissy when they see anyone pushing beyond social norms they
deem acceptable. Check

here on the Llano Estacado the recent snows left the roads pretty
messy. I heard some people complaining about the government road
crews and saying "why don't they clear the snow off?" Anchorage

So it appears that professional busybody Cass Sunstein wants to hand us a sort of 'debunking czar', to counter conspiracy theories. Consider this article over at getliberty.org (hat tip to the redoubtable Wendy McElroy): Now, it always seemed to me that
conspiracy theories fit one of only a very few patterns...none of which
would be served by any sort of official state response. However, I can hardly claim to speak for the state... Libertarian

Citizens aid officer's injured ego By Garry Reed On January 16, a known "freedom activist"
identified as Michael Big Mike Tiner stood up from a park bench and
walked past a police officer. At that moment, according to conflicting
eyewitness reports, Tiner either accidentally bumped the officer's arm,
lightly "brushed past" him, or engaged in a " horrific assault."
Tiner was immediately taken into custody by two officers and handcuffed. There is no doubt about the assault. It was caught on videotape. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return) The Libertarian
