Small Steps Toward Liberty
by Michael Boldin
Concordia res parvae crescunt.
It’s a Latin phrase made popular during the Revolutionary Period that means “small things grow great by concord.” And in a time when politicians claim the power to control nearly every aspect of your life, it’s a phrase that not only packs wisdom, but gives insight on a possible road map to liberty.

Pres. Obama's Jobs & Immigration Disconnect in...
by Roy Beck
What really galled me was Pres. Obama bragging about more than 3 million U.S. jobs created during the last 22 months. That could have been good news for unemployed Americans. But during that same period, the Obama Administration issued more than 3 million work visas to new immigrants and other foreign workers (more than half of them permanent). What is the point of...
How to tell if you're living in the wrong country
by Simon Black
Kentucky senator Rand Paul was detained by the TSA in Nashville after refusing to be fondled by the airport agents. Paul has been a vocal enemy of the TSA, blasting the agency last year after agents conducted an invasive search of a 6-year old girl despite her parents’ objections. TSA Director John Pistole suggested that, because a young child in Afghanistan is capable of...
TSA Creator Says Dismantle, Privatize the Agency
by Audrey Hudson
They’ve been accused of rampant thievery, spending billions of dollars like drunken sailors, groping children and little old ladies, and making everyone take off their shoes. But the real job of the tens of thousands of screeners at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is to protect Americans from a terrorist attack. Yet a decade after the TSA was created...
Prison Nation

America has come to be more like North Korea than the America our fathers grew up in. The United States is not a country descending into totalitarianism. Totalitarianism, the police state, is here.
According to a recent study in the journal Pediatrics and reported in USAToday, one in three Americans will be arrested by the time they are 23. That’s up from 22 percent of youths...

Social Security Scam
contributed by Bill S.
Not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it...

Congress really screwed up this time

There’s an old playbook that politicians have used for centuries; it contains a handful of tried and true plays to call when they’re completely desperate. History is full of examples of bankrupt nations relying on these tactics, and one of their favorites is capital controls. Capital controls essentially restrict the flow of funds across a nation’s borders. They...
At The (Term) Limit
by Ben Crystal
I never supported mandatory term limits. I am well aware that the vast majority of those who hold elected office could better serve their constituents by taking a long stroll off of an appropriately short pier (unless they’re Kennedys). I am also aware that many of us live with precisely the government we earned at the ballot box. To put a fine point on it: We already have...
Government Coverups

One of my favorite books is the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant- West Point graduate, Union commander, former President, and failed businessman. It’s a bit long-winded, but brutally honest, and much of the first volume deals with Grant’s personal experiences as a young military officer during the Mexican War. The Mexican War was a turning point in American history;...

We are staring into the face of $180-per-barrel oil. Under President Barack Obama, the Nation is not producing enough oil and is importing far too much of it from potential enemies. This is a reckless game engineered by the President, because oil is America’s economic lifeblood.
