Over the course of the last week or so we have seen plenty of articles in the news about the Tea Party. How it didn’t have the wide impact that was expected on the primaries. The Tea party groups are simply putting more conservatives into office instead of maintaining their Libertarian values. Needless to say, [...]

Say good-bye to the internet as you know it. This may be old news to some people but I just heard about it today. The story broke back on June 25th. For those that heard about it please comment here and let us know the current status. For those that don’t know about it, welcome [...]

Okay, libertarians – and those who aren’t. I’ve got some questions for you. Liberty may be the buzz word, but it seems to me that self-determination is really what is behind it – the ability to choose our own course through life. Control is the means by which that ability is denied or altered. Begging [...]

The GOP race for Florida Governorship is heating up. Bill McCollum accuses Rick Scot of attempting to buy his way into the seat. Claiming Rick spent $34 million of his own money on his campaign. Scott says that McCollum is a career politician tainted by special interest. Funny to hear these two go at it. [...]

I received a piece of email that I thought was so extraordinary I called the author and asked for his permission to post it in its entirety. Luckily for me he has agreed to do let me do so. It is quite an interesting read as the corollaries are made. One can see a definite [...]

In his book Anarchy, State, and Utopia, Robert Nozick lists two types of moral rules: utilitarian rules and side constraints. Utilitarian rules are basically end goals that a person or society must reach. For example, there may be a moral rule which says that society must achieve the greatest amount of good possible. In this [...]

Wow, I am back. Sorry for being away so long folks. The move took a lot more out of my time then I had originally anticipated. We are settling in nicely and we have all begun the job-hunting phase. Weather here is very pleasant. Sometimes a little hot but we are used to that from [...]

I have been saying that we are moving toward a police state for some time now. I even made a post with a spoof that seemed to have drawn up the ire of at least one person. Satirically that name fits very aptly as we continue to move toward an uncontrolled police state. The brazen [...]

The moves have begun. Rand Paul wins. Hear the start of his victory speech. So what does this mean in the political world? Well, lets look at what is happening around the country and see what conclusions we can come up with. Social Bookmarking

Dear Reader: As the founder of Libertarian Viewpoint, I would like to give you the name of the only senatorial candidate who believes in the power, integrity and self-discipline of the individual in society. The only senatorial candidate that believes us, as individuals, are free to control our own lives. Libertarian Viewpoint proudly endorses Alexander [...]

Look how happy these congress critters are now that they have screwed you over with the passage of their socialized medicine. Months and months went by, debate after debate, town hall after town hall, through it all the American people exclaimed a resounding NO for socialized health care. Well, it happened anyway. The Congress of [...]

JimK is right. You can do things to say what you stand for. If you want to really get their goat send them a copy of this letter. Simply change the relevant information to match your own name etc. To Whom it May Concern, Pursuant to Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, [...]

Many people consider me a conspiracy theorist. I of course disagree. I must concede though that a lot of what I think certainly does sound conspiratorial. None-the-less, just because people think I am talking about conspiracies, does not mean that one does not exist. In a previous post I made mention about the Census and [...]

In order to really understand politics today people need to take a look at politics from the past. There is no better primer on politics than the small book “Plunkitt of Tammany Hall” Written by William Riordan of the New York Evening Post and first published in 1905. George Washington Plunkitt made a fortune in [...]

Jim Kearney made some rather good points in his earlier post about the census. I would like to take the time to expand upon them based on my own observations. In his post he invited you, the reader, to make comments. I to, invite you to make comments and expand upon my ideas as I [...]

A few days ago Jonathan put an article out there about Sarah Palin supporting Rand Paul. In the comments I set the stage for what I thought would happen in the future races and How Sarah Palin would play a part in those races. Few people believe that such things can happen. In a recent [...]

I was looking at some polling data over the course of the last few months to see where the country will head in 2010. Many people jumped up and down when Brown won in Mass. Saying it was a signal. I however, saw that trend much earlier. If the pundits and political talking heads needed [...]

There are ten positions available for appointment to the new “Council of Governors” that Obama has created. Their mission is to advise the President on “military activities in the United States” I am sure you all remember the fiasco coming out of Missouri several months ago. You know, the ones where the police where advised [...]

Thomas Jefferson once said: “The several states composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government” There are 22 states that have or are considering bills commonly known as “Firearms Freedom Act”. The bill basically declares that firearms, accessories and ammo, made within a sate, [...]

We started a discussion a few articles ago and got side tracked on the subject of liberty. We started talking about the concept of self-ownership, what it means, and how all stems from there. Maybe the easiest way to put it is that you own your life. To deny such is to say that someone [...]

Jonathan has been writing a lot of opinion articles here while I have been writing more about the news. He asked that I write an opinion article to see what type of response it would generate. I decided to write this one for you and ask one simple question: Does the government have the right [...]

Adrian Rogers was an American Pastor, author and president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, he decided to enter the ministries at the age of 19. He dies of pneumonia in November of 2005. I am not the religious type. Though raised as a Catholic I do not follow the [...]
