Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-50A: Follow the money

Posted on 2014-12-08 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

When in doubt, follow the money.  And the power.  Don’t know who said that first, but it is generally a wise piece of advice when dealing with politics and government and crime in general.  Let us look at a few examples.

Once more, Americans are being stolen from in perhaps the biggest fraud scheme in history.  People are asking, How do 2015 ObummerCare premiums compare to 2014? The White House contended that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObummerCare, the Abominable Act) would send health insurance costs down, but premiums initially increased up to 50 percent for some insurance plans last year…  Continue reading →

An Invitation to The Mental Militia

Posted on 2014-12-07 by MamaLiberty

Have you ever thought that America, indeed the whole world, is going the wrong direction and that there truly ought to be a better way to live than the rapidly deteriorating economy in a police state? Do you long for a truly free country, a free market, and life without “big brother” trying to control every move you make?

Do you believe people can live together in peace and prosperity, in spite of their differences, or maybe even because of them… How do you think that could work out, and wouldn’t it be worth a lot of time and effort to make it happen?

Do you think people have to be pushed into violent revolution, or can we outlive, out talk and out think those who would control and destroy us? Continue reading →

Home Invasion

Posted on 2014-12-06 by MamaLiberty

By MamaLiberty

You wake in the night, hearing glass breaking, or maybe someone pounding on the front door hard enough to rattle the walls. INTRUDERS! ALERT! Condition RED! Check. You jump out of bed, grab your gun and charge down the stairs…

OOPS! WAIT a minute. Not so fast.

Do you have a plan to deal with something like this? If not, why not? Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-49E: Bad cops, bad laws

Posted on 2014-12-05 by TPOL Nathan

by Nathan Barton

Yesterday, I was looking at racism and welfare (entitlements) and the Home Front.  More today, it seems…

Speaking of welfare queens, how about American cops? Regardless of skin color. “The White House is pushing a multi-million-dollar program to encourage local law enforcement agencies to use body cameras, on the heels of the police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. At the same time, the White House is not seeking to pull back federal programs that provide military-style equipment to local law enforcement. The administration revealed details of a White House review after the Fuehrer met with members of his Cabinet about the situation. The president is pushing a three-year, $263 million program to expand training and resources for local police departments — the biggest component would be a $75 million fund during that period to help purchase 50,000 body cameras.” Continue reading →

Racism and society in 2014, part 2 (was Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-49D2)

Posted on 2014-12-05 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

It is one of those weeks… Racism in America is NOT limited to just being anti-black.  Indeed, sometimes blacks seem to be pretty racist.  Actually, people of ALL races can be racist, despite what the liberals claim.  For example…

The Fuehrer unveiled his plan to “help” young American Indians. In Bismarck, ND, he announced an initiative Wednesday aimed at improving conditions and opportunities for American Indian youth, more than a third of whom live in poverty. Obama’s Generation Indigenous initiative calls for programs focused on better preparing young American Indians or college and careers, and developing leadership skills through the Department of Education and the Aspen Institute’s Center for Native American Youth. Members of the president’s staff also plan to visit reservations next year.

Mama’s Note: With “friends” like this, who needs enemies? More bogus “help.” Continue reading →

Racism and society in 2014 – cops, bureaucrats, and Congress (was Libertarian Commentary on the News #14-49D1)

Posted on 2014-12-04 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Walking while black, with your hands in your pocket on a cold November day makes you a suspect in robberies, according to a Michigan cop.  Sweet.  Heaven forbid he have a face mask, partial or not, against a cold wind and frostbite, or a hood on his parka in a blizzard.  But this IS typical of the bad behavior of the “boys (and girls) in blue.”

And it isn’t limited to “normal racism” of course: although these days home-schoolers must seem like another race, even aliens!  Consider this next story. Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-49C: Burials and corruption

Posted on 2014-12-04 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good day!  An odd historical reference/discovery is my theme for some of the stories today, and I think you will have as much fun reading them as I did writing!

According to the WaPo, “DNA evidence proves that King Richard III’s remains really did end up in a parking lot. Scientists are 99.999 percent sure, in their most conservative estimate, that remains found in 2012 really do belong to King Richard III.” Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-49B: Foul doings and stupid government

Posted on 2014-12-02 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good morning.  I guess some folks were upset about stool pigeons, yesterday.  Sorry, I just calls ’em as I sees (or reads) ’em.

And it might not have been the Taleban: given that it happened at Thanksgiving time, it COULD have been the Turkey Liberation Front, or even a rival group that is trying to combat Chick-fil-A‘s cow-conspirators in the black and white suits.  And the story said nothing at all about ANY involvement by Turkey, I should add.  Someone else points out that it MAY have been a very low-budget competitor of Rutan’s SpaceShip 2 and this was a failed test flight.  Unmanned, of course.

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-49A: Fun and dreary weather! AND stool pigeons?

Posted on 2014-12-01 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good morning, and welcome to December, 2014.  We are in the midst of the holidays, and things are fun for many folks, dreary for others.  Travel is more difficult, and apt to be delayed due to weather. Please, be careful and get to your destination safely!

As we continue to see the blight that is Ferguson (on ALL sides: government officials and cops, protesters and rioters and activists), there are other places where cops are in the news. One is actually from early in November, after a policeman shot and killed someone.  A friend (Thanks, Margaret) sent me this interesting video of the Milwaukee Police Chief interviewed immediately after a public forum about the shooting.
