Liberty
Bookself - Review - By
Susan Callaway, Editor This is the story of one such young man with every conceivable disadvantage and no spark of liberty in his life except that which comes from deep within himself and inspired by the music and lyrics of a rock music group that is suddenly banned. Gradually he learns the harsh lessons of integrity and liberty as he climbs the mountains of terror and danger that stand between him and his dream. Along the way he finds a few kindred souls and bonds with a big ugly dog, not understanding at first what his dream really means or where it will take him, only that he's willing to die to reach it. If you have teen age children, or grandchildren, this book will give you some sobering visions of their world and the terrible burden of pain they bear in this age of senseless rules and prohibitions. Renew your understanding of the terrible gulf between those who learn such things as gun safety or self medication from loving parents or are compelled by their very nature to experiment on their own and learn the hard way - if they survive.

Gun Rights Examiner Yet despite clear evidence that more and more Americans across the land are deciding to exercise ther unalienable right to keep and bear arms, how do the gunhaters spin it?
Go tell that to some ladies on Marco Island. Then argue some more with the reality unfolding before our eyes. How is it these people have any credibility left?

What
if Uber-Women Ran the Show?
Last Thursday Good Morning America host Robin Roberts ran a piece titled, Should Women be in Charge? Remarking on the Congressional hearings of three-piece-suited Wall Street bankers, Roberts offered the astute observation, “they’re all men.”
Wagging her editorial finger with disgust, the ABC co-host rued all the “Greed and glory and then risk and disaster on Wall Street.” Roberts then asked her predominantly female audience, “Could testosterone be to blame?... Could more estrogen around have saved them and all of us from meltdown?”
Somehow I suspect Ms. Roberts didn’t have Sarah Palin or Condoleezza Rice in mind when she asked this question. More likely she was thinking of “let’s hear it for the power” Nancy Pelosi or “it takes a village” Hillary Clinton. (Read the rest here)

Articles Steve McIntyre appears to have caught NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in a slight problem with the backup data for the outfit’s “2008 was the hottest October on record” globaloney. The GISS computerized maps seemed to show readings 10 degrees higher than normal all across Russia for the month in question, which seemed a bit odd, given that snow fell that month in an area of the United Arab Emirates where the people don’t even have a word for snow in their language, and that from the Dakotas to China, from the Alps to New Zealand, 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperature records were set in the month of October, 2008, according to Christopher Brooker, London Telegraph, Nov. 16, 2008. In fact, although Russia cools rapidly throughout the fall (as both Napoleon and Hitler learned the hard way) McIntyre discovered upon closer inspection that the GISS October readings were PRECISELY THE SAME for each Russian reporting station as their September readings, a statistically impossible coincidence. Oops! (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return.)
Dallas
Libertarian Examiner Let’s find out which you are, if either. First there were those magnificent “green” light bulbs. You know, those long-lasting but more expensive CFL bulbs that will replace all ordinary incandescent light bulbs through coercive government mandate. (The European Union has already banned them, causing libertarians to ask, “If they’re so incredibly good why do they have to be mandated?”) (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website.

The
Independent Institute George Orwell famously wrote “who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” As the NAACP celebrates its 100th anniversary, its leaders present a past that squares with its present positions on racial preferences, welfare, and a public school monopoly that traps poor children in failed schools. But that is not the NAACP’s past. The historic achievements of the NAACP—all but forgotten by most Americans—derived from a passionate dedication to colorblindness and individual freedom. From its founding in 1909 until the 1960s, the NAACP fought for a “colorblind Constitution.” Since then, it has become just another interest group pleading for favors. This flip-flop would make splendid material for an Orwellian novel: preference is equality, some “more equal” than others. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website.

The
Future of Freedom Foundation The Obama administration’s $275 billion bailout for mortgage lenders and troubled borrowers once again shows that “tomorrow-be-damned” thinking still rules the White House. President Obama has clearly dumped the Clinton administration’s theme song, “Don’t Stop Thinking about Tomorrow.” (Not that Clinton or his successor took the lyric to heart.) Under the plan, the federal government will spend money it doesn’t have to encourage banks to refinance mortgages for people who can’t afford their current loans. The plan also calls for giving more money to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make it easier for people to get new mortgages. These government-guaranteed agencies were put under government control last year when they appeared to be insolvent. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website.

From The Ludwig von Mises Institute Despite the massive size of the housing bubble, we can be fairly certain, based on the history of financial panics, that if the market had been left to its own devices it would have already cleaned up most of this mess and we would be looking forward to the recovery. Remember that in 2007 firms were already raising capital, downsizing, merging, shutting down unprofitable businesses, and filing for bankruptcy. In January 2008, the government embarked on a series of massive and, in many cases, unprecedented emergency measures. It seems clear from the timing of these measures that they were designed to prevent the market from adjusting, such as reducing stock prices and firms going bankrupt. It is also clear that these measures did provide some short-term delay, but have not solved anything and have only served to make the crisis larger and more drawn out. We don't have to go back to the Great Depression to see where this is headed. Japan took this route in the 1990s and we did the same thing in the 1970s. The result in all three cases was not pretty.

Do
you know a good liberty centered blog? The
main reason for this blog will be to make other's aware of how our freedom's
and liberties are being erroded by those in power. How they do not follow
the will or the intent of the United States Constitution, and how we can
slowy start to regain our lost freedoms and liberties. On a lighter note,
I will also post about some hobbies and interests that I have.
