In recent debates here on libertarianviewpoint, the question was called on whether or not congress can legislate the poor into prosperity. After much debate, I have concluded that taxes can be used for whatever the government deems necessary for it function and services, however, political objections can me made if tax dollars are used for [...]

To get back on the taboo track, lets have a little discussion on Stem Cell Research. First, the facts. According to a 2006 publication, “Stem cells—a clinical update” by Australian Family Physician, Stem cells are cells found in most, if not all, multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic [...]

Now for something not as Taboo of a topic as stem cell research, the Carbon Tax is definitely something to have a discussion about.

More often then I’d like to see, taboo topics such as abortion, marijuana, same-sex marriage, and stem-cell research, find their way into political discussion/action, rather than philosophical/moral discussion. The impacts of such misplaced taboo topics are so damning, they make political discussion just as taboo. For this, it is easy for us to cast blame [...]

There are a lot of ways to approach the abortion debate. Congressman Dr. Ron Paul has his approach, which I can safely say coincides with a majority of libertarian perspectives, however, lets look at the issue and see what everyone thinks. I would argue, as Dr. Paul does, the federal government should not be involved [...]

Why is Cannabis, or Marijuana illegal? Marijuana was legal until the 1930′s. The FBI helped promote legislation to ban Marijuana because it was publicly associated with Mexican Immigrants. By making consumption illegal, it was a way to deport Mexicans who were found in possession. The reason Marijuana is illegal is primarily discriminatory rather than having [...]

“It’s fashionable to support Ron Paul – and I understand that. Mucho coolio to have Ron Paul bumper sticker, etc. But, did you know that Ron Paul support building a 700 mile fence along a 2100 mile border with Mexico? I’m not a mathematician but that doesn’t add up to me. Not to mention that [...]

A friend of mine wrote an article the other day on his perspective of the immigration policy. He has given me permission to post the article here and so I decided to share it with you. I thought it might be a little thought provoking as to how to handle the problem. From a Libertarian [...]

Many moons ago I told readers about getting out of debt, saving and preparing for the possible bad times ahead. I doubt seriously that I have affected as many lives as the Federal Reserve is reporting – however, their report does show I am not the only one thinking or preaching the idea. According to [...]

So this article is inspired by the following comments: Jimk says: “Jonathan OK – I guess I always understood freedom meaning: being without external controls, regulations or interference, the power to determine action without restraint Based on this – yes – if someone else makes your choices for you then your freedom is negated. I [...]

I have been claiming for years that 2012 would be the end of the world as we know it. Freedoms here in this country would be non-existent, civil war will break out and the collapse of the USA will have begun. I of course hope that this will NOT come true. I hope for peace [...]

Yes! I love this kind of news. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has been censured for the second time since November of last year. Censure essentially means an action by a legislative body to officially reprimand an elected official for inappropriate or illegal actions committed by that official while in office. The act of [...]

Ron Paul created a phenomenal movement. A Libertarian in Republican clothing he has energized Americans to begin taking a look at our government and encourages them to get involved. The message was simple enough, our government is broken and we need to return to our roots, the same roots our Libertarian forefathers documented and laid [...]
