Contrary to any previous impression I may have given, I'm not terribly fond of either the Democrats or the Republicans, although I hate the later decidedly less.  I've heard many people lately talk about the possibility of a third party.  After contemplating this possibility I thought, "Why stop at a third party?"  I'm not terribly familiar with Parliamentarian government, but it seems like a good idea in theory, it's main weakness being that there is always the potential to have a different president from month to month (which I know many people would have no complaints with anyway).  Read More »

I hope I'm not the only one alarmed by the outrageous response to the upcoming ABC mini series "The Path to 9/11" by the Democrats.  How do they constantly get away with their hypocritical platitudes?  The very idea of Bill Clinton sending ABC a four page letter insisting that they remain true to the facts and challenging THEIR integrity is laughable.  Where were the democrats when all of these ridiculous 9/11 conspiracy "documentaries" were produced?  Normally I don't like to hit on partisan politics because both parties have serious problems (namely, that they're made up of politicians), but in this case the response is unilaterally Democrat.  Read More »

I find an almost universal disdain and disgust for rich people that I find hard to justify.  My goal with this post is to dispell, to some degree, the class rivalry which is, above all else, foolish.  Read More »

I’m writing this because I’m appalled (though not surprised) at the lack of respect the Bible seems to command among so many of you.  My goal is to change your outlook, if only slightly.  There are a number of reasons why you should take the Bible seriously.   Even Aristotle said "...the benefit of the doubt is to be given to the document itself, not arrogated by the critic to himself."  If we can’t trust the Bible then we can’t trust any significant work of antiquity.  Read More »

This post, as no doubt many of mine will be, was inspired by a discussion on another blog.  This particular essay is the result of one on poverty on nolies32fouettes's blog.

The idea that we should raise minimum wage laws is a wide-spread one (mostly among liberals), but it is based entirely on faulty, half-baked reasoning. Some 90% of economists agree that raising minimum wage raises unemployment, hurts business, and in turn hurts the economy. Hopefully this post will help you understand why. I've devoted a lot of time to studying economics and hopefully I can help you understand it now.  Read More »

So many schemes have been proposed to somehow “force” the price of gas below its current level, and yet so many of them are so manifestly ridiculous that it's remarkable that any decently intelligent person would ever adhere to them. That's not to say intelligent people might not believe them for a time, but when confronted with the facts, no one can deny the obvious ignorance behind these propositions. In all the complex designs to bring the “evil” gas companies to their knees, we have overlooked the origin of the problem. You may be surprised.  Read More »
