Does The Majority Truely Rule?

There's nothing inherently noble about a majority of people agreeing on a particular issue. Indeed, bad ideas often prove more popular than good ones. It's only when popular majorities are anchored to the idea of inalienable rights that they're most entitled to our respect. Without that underlying commitment to individualism, majority rule can and frequently will degenerate into the loss of liberty for unpopular minorities. The racist policies of the Jim Crow South, after all, were often extremely popular among white voters.

So before we get too misty over the will of the people of South Dakota, let's remember that James Madison warned us about the tyranny of the majority, not the tyranny of unfettered individual liberty.

Every child deserves a chance, but does The State have the best formula?

Whether we want to own up to it or not, the welfare state has done what Jim Crow, gross discrimination and poverty could not have done. It has contributed to the breakdown of the black family structure and has helped establish a set of values alien to traditional values of high moral standards, hard work and achievement.

Seize This Opportunity or, please rule my life sirs!!

Yet another example of Government’s well-intentioned control of our lives turning into a dismal failure; the private citizen is a much better guarantor of his well being than some busy-body bureaucrat 100’s of miles away. It makes absolutely no sense to me why someone would advocate that these sorts of duties are better left in the hands of government. Not to mention that in our form of government, and according to the law of the land, this is an absolute violation of the law.What will unfortunately happen here is that the elite mind’s of congress (by the way what exactly qualifies them as experts in finance? Oh yes, they won a popularity contest) will determine that a government entities’ failure is the fault of the free market and that their needs to be more control and oversight by them. I should be so lucky as to gain employment that enshrines in me the wisdom to determine that my failures were actually the fault of my competition. We should throw all of our mortgages in the Boston Bay!!!

Facts are obsolete

Why is it that when otherwise intelligent people begin to engage in the political process they are consistently duped by charlatans and snake-oil salesmen. It blows this citizen's mind that we are unable to utilize our common sense in matters which have such consequence. Thomas Sowell, once again, asks some very important questions.

Why a Black Artist Replaced the National Anthem

What Marie did embodied a plethora of leftist ideals and characteristics: Ethical relativism, multiculturalism, the supremacy of feelings, the belief that artists are above normal ethical standards and group victimization.

Conservatives for Obama?

What is becoming ever more painfully apparent is that too many people this year-- whether conservative, liberals or whatever-- are all too willing to judge Barack Obama on the basis of his election-year rhetoric, rather than on the record of what he has advocated and done during the past two decades.

My passion for party was subdued when I read this...

What do you feel are the proper foreign relatonships. Should we open up all of our trade in a free and Laize fair mentality; or should we place restriction upon our international commerce so that we can learn to produce our goods on a more local basis. It is a question that is important enough to put down your beer and think upon. The results of this decision are liberty or tyranny. We see it today.

Buyer Beware!!!

The next time you are excited about some "BIG" company being sued by the little guy, or being heavily taxed by the government, don't forget that they pass all of their costs onto you.

This article describes a case which will no doubt raise the price of paint. Now, you may not be in the market for paint right now, but you are about to buy gas, food, toys etc. All of which have been, or might be the victim of some frivolous lawsuit, or government regulation, that never should have been brought in the first place.

Are there legitimate reasons to sue and regulate companies that do bad stuff? YES!!!! But not all of them. We need to get a handle on the legitimate use of the courts and the legislators.
