Commentary on The News

Federal Spending Continues to Increase (WALL STREET JOURNAL) This is said to be a new age of fiscal austerity, yet the government had its best year ever, spending a cool $3.6 trillion... As discussed several times this week, there is no “austerity” in government - any cuts in specific programs or projects is not to save money, but to reroute the stolen goods to more “deserving” pockets. Stupid people Think Again: Nuclear Power (FOREIGN POLICY) The emissions reduction advantage that nuclear plants have over coal power cannot be ignored... ... Except by government policymakers, environists, and people who are stupid; and we have a LOT more of them than we do coal or uranium or thorium. If we could just harness the power of stupidity to produce electricity or propell our autos and aircraft! Mama's Note: What a cool idea! And we all know that there will never be any shortage of stupid... (Read

Wolfe’s Great New Novel - Hardyville TalesOCCUPY
AMERICA – A review
by Nathan Barton © 2011 As
readers might imagine, I’m watching this Occupy Wall Street, Occupy
DC, Occupy Denver, Occupy Cortez, Occupy Rapid City, Occupy School X
and Occupy Intersection Y very closely. As you might figure from my
opening sentence, I’m not impressed. There
are many frustrations that I can agree with, and there are obviously

the rest of us – except that I don’t think it is as big as 1% and
I don’t think that group is solely made up of evil capitalists or
rich people. I even agree with them that we need to separate
government from the corporations (and for a great look at that idea,
visit HERE). By James Bovard Claire Wolfe is one of the finest freedom
writers around. She has a knack for making freedom both vivid and fun.
She has a new novel entitled Hardyville
Tales - When ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ meets ‘For Your Own Good.’
The book is based in part on the hugely-popular series of internet columns Claire has written about Hardyville for more than a decade. It is hard not to love a town whose best known attraction is a Statute of a Drunken Cowboy. (Read

Ah, so Bob: As their former spokesman, perhaps
you can tell us why the Committee when under Democrat control ignored
pleas to investigate allegations by veteran ATF agents of management
abuse and corruption—made both publicly and sent to the Committee via
its online citizen contact form? In posing the question in a Lew Rockwell.com article, can a Hitler arise in America, Bob Bauman offers quotes from On Hitler's Mountain: Overcoming the Legacy of a Nazi Childhood, written by 77-year-old German-born Irmgard A. Hunt. Hunt easily sees "an intolerant, ideology-driven, fundamentalist right wing" in America, but being "a self-identified political liberal" apparently blinds her to an equally intolerant, ideology-driven, fundamentalist left wing.

Self Reliance Works
This blog is a collaborative effort between me and many other hand-picked contributors. The idea is to bring together writers who have varied backgrounds, skill sets, geographic locations, and passions, and let this mix of quality content producers offer readers a range of practical examples and insights about being more self reliant.
