Libertarians, Atheists, Christians, and Others

Posted on 2014-05-10 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

The following was found in an article, addressed to a mostly “Libertarian” readership, about Christ Jesus and government and bankers.

Preface: If you are an atheist and believe that religion is crazy, please remember that some 85% of the American population identifies itself as Christian and millions more identify themselves as Jewish. Very few Americans are atheists … and the majority don’t trust atheists. Therefore, knowing a few bible verses might be helpful for atheists speaking to people of faith. Continue reading →

By Nathan Barton

Good morning:  some good news to those of us who have to travel a lot on the highways and byways of America: supposedly fuel prices may be dropping a bit as we go into late spring and summer.  And for many people the school year is drawing to an end, which is the background of several stories today.

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-18D: Islam and other wars on religion

Posted on 2014-05-08 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

The Third World War, by some measures, is already under way.  Depending on how you review the history, the Great War (World War One) was the first phase of a war that in essence lasted until about 1995, and included the four (or six) different wars that we lump together as World War Two.  That Eight-Years-War ended with the tragic wars in the former Yugoslavia.   Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-18C: Solutions? Symbols?

Posted on 2014-05-07 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

National Review has discovered something a lot of us have realized for years: the multiple generations of politically prominent families in the US is getting worse.  We’ve all known about the Kennedys and the Rockefellers and the Bushes, but too many people overlook the Udalls, the Browns, the Gores, and even more forget about the Sibelius family and many others.  They are the new nobility of the Fifty States, and are a danger to liberty and life and limb.  Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-18B: Stupid government at home and abroad

Posted on 2014-05-07 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good morning.  What are the first words popping up in your head when you think of politicians and bureaucrats?  Mine are increasingly “brain-dead.”  This especially applies to cops.  How much of a mess are we in because people are acting as stupid AS the bureaucrats?  And especially, politicians, who are permanently in campaign mode. Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-18A: Government action versus voluntary private action

Posted on 2014-05-05 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good morning.  A few stories from the weekend and even last week, which I think you will find of interest.  Apparently, Ukraine did NOT explode over the weekend, although Mount St. Helens is showing life and there was a nasty quake in Thailand and Burma. Continue reading →

Shoot – Don’t Shoot! How Do You Know?

Posted on 2014-05-04 by MamaLiberty

By MamaLiberty

Remember that you may only use lethal force if you (or others) are in IMMEDIATE danger of death or serious bodily harm. The better you plan and the better you can identify that danger, the better the outcome will be. (From my book: I Am NOT A Victim! Click here to learn how to get it at no cost in email.)

One of the most common… and most serious questions asked in my self defense classes is something like, “How do you know when to shoot?”

How can anyone know exactly when they are in “immediate” danger of death or great harm? How can one plan and practice such a thing? Continue reading →

Sex: The New War on Men

Posted on 2014-05-03 by MamaLiberty

By Gordon E. Finley, Ph.D.

It cannot have escaped anyone’s notice that on May Day (May 1, 2014), and within hours of one another, the nation and the media have been bombarded with more than a half dozen exquisitely choreographed and coordinated reports demanding action based on claims of skyrocketing sexual assaults occurring on campus and on the battlefield.

But are these claims plausible?  I argue not. Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-17E: Home Front

Posted on 2014-05-03 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good morning!  We all are living our day to day lives, dealing with family and work and friends and our brothers and sisters in our faith, enjoying pets, growing things in our gardens, cooking and eating and taking pleasure in the little things of life.  But we also live in the Home Front, putting up with the state and the occupying forces and big business and the Tranzis who seek to make our lives miserable).  Doing this constantly has a serious impact on our enjoyment: specifically our pursuit of happiness.  Even ignoring its impact on the liberty and lives of so many.  We need to see and identify and then work around those things.

Here are a few for today: Continue reading →

Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-17D: Invasion?

Posted on 2014-05-02 by TPOL Nathan

By Nathan Barton

Good morning – or maybe not: is the US (or at least the sovereign State of Arizona) being invaded – and NOT by FedGov thugs?  Maybe.  Is Ukraine being invaded by more Russians?  Maybe.  Is Tranziism (the big brother of Fascism and Nazism and Communism) growing right here in the Fifty States?  That is almost certainly true, as the first few stories show.
