Acceptable Full Body Scanner Solution

Open Thread – Beck Rally “Restoring Honor”

“While there is no official source for such estimates on the National Mall, Beck told the audience that the accounting from his vantage point showed more than 500,000 people.

Unexpected Consequences Follow U.S. Decisions Worldwide

People have constantly criticized Ron Paul for being so vociferous about our intervention into Iraq. He has maintained that it was the wrong thing to do and the desired outcome will never be achieved. People, of course, didn’t want to hear that the US was making a mistake. They were all wrapped up in the [...]

Libertarian Viewpoint on the Ghetto

We have all been there; the crowded 4 way stop signs, the smell of Pork BBQ at 3:15 in the morning, the music justifiably played as a result of years and years of oppression. I cannot make this any more clear, for I have fear, so read this as you open a beer. Social Bookmarking

We have met the enemy, and they are us….Pogo

From Time online: “Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn’t violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway – and [...]

We the people = The Government?

Greetings.  There is this notion that we the people somehow compose the government.  There may be some on Libertarian Viewpoint who believe in this view, and some who may not believe this.  To me, it always seemed like a strange concept.  I personally believe that those in the government are not the same as you [...]

Libertarians and Immigration

Many times we get into debates with people about immigration. Usually that is because they want to “enforce immigration” through a set of laws. In their eyes, our borders need to be “secured” against “illegal aliens” coming into this country. Often, at the start of these conversations I have to ask myself, “Do I want [...]

Laissez Faire, Libertarian Health Care, and Doctors: Quick Perspective

Health care reform is going to produce the exact opposite of what Washington is saying. Because of those 2,700 pages of reform garbage up in Capital Hill, health care costs are going up. In the simplest terms, the federal government abusively added 32 million uninsured people into the system. The number of doctors is going [...]
