UPDATE: 10:26am EST. If you needed any further confirmation that this was all a show, Ted Cruz asked Harry Reid for time to “filibuster” and it was granted to him. This isn’t a filibuster, it’s not going to delay the vote by one nanosecond. This was just an up all night entertainment program for insomniac politicos…...
Has any libertarian demonstration in modern history drawn more attention to itself than Adam Kokesh’s Open Carry March on Washington? Perhaps the Ron Paul campaign, but outside of electoral politics, I’d venture to say no. Granted, if you measure the quality of the attention by a simple count of people reacting positively or negatively, the…...
For a long time I called myself agnostic, because it was my perception that atheists claimed to know something they couldn’t actually know. More specifically, that they were sure there was no “god”. I can say with a good degree of certainty that to the extent the term “god” refers to the monster described by…...

But that’s the claim being made by Tim Worstall, in Forbes today, and he actually makes some interesting points. Last week the US Census released figures on…...
Some might accuse me of using hyperbole when I say that statism is the thing most likely to bring the human race to extinction. Granted, it sounds like a rather extreme thing to say, especially when it’s followed by a call to arms. On the other hand it recently came out that, when a B-52…...
“Illegal guns, illegal guns, illegal guns drive violence” said Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, after calling for an assault weapons ban, and apparently failing to see the irony of his statement. “A military-grade weapon on the streets of Chicago is simply unacceptable,” McCarthy told a news conference this morning, 12 hours after a 3-year-old boy and 12…...
If you’ve never had a run in with the mental health system in America, consider yourself lucky. For the millions of people who have been victimized by it, this system represents all that is cruel about human society, wrapped up in all the Orwellian promises of health and well being that characterize the modern State…....
