“Change” or More of the Same?
Senators Obama and McCain have completed a series of “debates” and the election is fast approaching.
The buzzword of the campaigns has been “change”. Obama wants to enact change to help the middle class, McCain wants to change the Republican party back into what it once was, and both candidates vow to change the greed [...]
How to fix America
by Mike Cuneo
Whether you think we are in a recession, depression, contraction, correction, or whatever, the key point is, our economy is headed for a complete and utter collapse in 5-7 years if we don’t act now. Bailing out companies that are built on worthless assets might stave off the trouble for a little while [...]
Freedom Starts At Home
Ron Paul’s writings and speeches have assisted me in finding faults with myself and my own logical processes, and maybe a way to fix them and make myself a better person. So today I’ll take a break from bashing the government – instead, I’ll spend some my energy on what each and everyone of us [...]
Personal Freedoms and the Internet

The real reason the government hates free markets is that, unlike most voting Americans [...]
Big Government and the Status Quo
Incentives. They are everywhere, affecting everything we say and do, from shopping for groceries to what kind of car we drive to where we live and so many more. Incentives provoke thought and progress and keep us moving forward as individuals, small communities, and a country as a whole.
Sadly, the federal government today has no [...]
America’s Stance On Gambling
All around me, whether I’m going to the store to buy groceries, watching a baseball game, or listening to my favorite radio station, I hear Gus. Who, you ask, is Gus? Well, he’s the “Second Most Famous Groundhog in Pennsylvania” (Trailing only Puxatony Phil and just ahead of, well, who knows?). [...]
