The Dilemma of Tolerance        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano          We Americans are pretty tolerant people.  We pride ourselves on making the U.S. a place where every person has a chance at success.  In fact, these days, especially among the liberal crowd, one of the worst things you can say about a person is that he is intolerant or bigoted.                (click to read more)

TERRY’S TIDBITS         By Terry Gray         TORT            If you want to sue because you don’t know how to ride a bike and fell off and cracked open your skull, you deserve to have a cracked skull.  There is no blaming anyone else for your stupidity.  It isn’t the bike’s fault, most times.              (click to read more)

Fixing what is not broken          By: Mr. Jim Waters

Humane Treatment For The Inhumane         By Mario, Guerilla Reporter         As I returned from church and sat down to relax by reading the local liberal news rag, that mind-control mechanism for sheeple and liberals, I was slammed with a front-page article called “Humanity in death”. I sometimes make the effort to read through this bastion of liberal slant and omission of truth in order to get a glimpse into what the “enemy within” is up to.              (click to read more)

Free-spending Republicans risk the destruction of their own base        by Mike Kole, Libertarian Writers' Bureau           On the surface, it's easy to analyze this recently concluded election. The Republican Party ran the table with victories high and low. From the presidency to both houses of Congress, from the governor's mansion to the Statehouse, Republicans enjoyed a November like few before.              (click to read more)

Aid to Dependent Dictators         by Bill Walker

Reprinted with permission of the author... originally published at http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/walker1.html  

Capitalism is the most powerful economic force ever developed. The exponential economic growth made possible by private property rights and free trade is the basis for the existence of the modern world. This is no secret; even the Communist Party of China includes "businessmen," i.e. capitalists, as one of the four pillars of the Party.               (click to read more)

What Makes Us Do It?         by Jeff Mario Smith, Guerilla Reporter, Leftington, KY           This morning, as I sat at my PC, that ever-important information gathering tool I use to access real information as opposed to the mind-control drivel, which emanates from within the folds of all of our local papers, I was struck by an article from an alleged “journalist” in New Haven, CN denigrating the POW MIA Flag.              (click to read more)

Who Wants to Know?         by Lady Liberty          The other day, I got a phone call from a friend of mine.

Meddling in Other Countries Elections          By Mario, Guerilla Reporter        Kiev, Ukraine The MSM (Main-Stream Media), also known as the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) controlled media, is abuzz with news of the Ukraine Parliament declaring their recent election invalid.

Shopping for the Unspeakable.        by Justin Darr         One of the best things about living in America is if you have a sufficient amount of money, you can buy just about anything on the planet legally.  You might have to make some phone calls and wait for a while, but in almost in any case you can eventually purchase anything you want.  However, as anyone who has ever picked the name of the person who wants “nothing special, just don’t spend a lot of money” in the office gift exchange, or has the child who does NOT want the “Super Plus Dragon Head Crushing Mega-Poki-Zord-o-Saur”, some of the hardest things to find are the simplest.               (click to read more)

“(Most people) like the idea of government taking care of them and making decisions for them and they’re willing to give up certain amounts of their freedom in exchange for the security government promises them.  As a matter of fact they have been so brainwashed they don’t even realize that they are giving up some of their freedom when, for instance, government tells them they must wear seatbelts, or they must contribute to Social Security or they must accept Medicare or they can have no say in what their kids are taught in public schools. 

“Nor do they see anything wrong when government limits the use of private property, or takes away their constitutional right (what a laugh) to keep and bear arms, or in a hundred other little ways infringes on their rights and their ability to make their own decisions, accept their own responsibilities, use their property as they see fit and in a large variety of other ways limits what they can do or legislates what they must do--all in the name of the common good…
