It’s a sad day when the Germans tell us that free market capitalism in the United States is coming to an end. An article in the weekly German magazine Der Spiegel calls attention to the fact that the Republican Party, a party which once stood for uninhibited free markets, has fallen prey to [...]
I’m a pretty big fan of Andrew W.K. The album “I Get Wet” is one of my favorite albums, and seeing him in concert five years ago is still one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen (that’s saying a lot). However, following the release of his second album, “The Wolf,” Andrew W.K. has been [...]
I often say that the only role of government should be to protect my borders, pave my roads, and provide a fair justice system (certainly, there are a few more bare essentials, i.e. fire department, local police force, etc.). Yet, in a recent article on RealClearMarkets entitled Let’s Privatize Our Roadways, writer Steven Malanga argues [...]

Discussing his views on minimal government in a recent interview by The New York Times, Senator John McCain was quoted as saying:
“Government should take care of those in America who cannot take care of themselves…I’m for government carrying out those responsibilities that otherwise can’t be exercised by the individuals and the states…that’s the founding principles [...]
I recently read The Death of Politics, a wonderful article written by Karl Hess, the former libertarian activist, editor, and Barry Goldwater speechwriter.

Barack Obama knows the devastating consequences that his statist domestic policies will have on the youth of our country. He also knows that young voters don’t take the time to educate themselves on these issues, the campaign preferring instead to capitalize upon the interrelationship between pop culture and presidential politics as opposed to focusing on [...]
In 1994, the Republican Party released The Contract With America, a comprehensive plan detailing actions that the party would take it if they became the majority party in the U.S. House of Representatives. If elected, the House Republicans promised to implement 10 bills in the interest of limited government reform, including the Fiscal Responsibility Act, [...]
In a recent article in The Guardian, Clint Eastwood was quoted saying:
I mean, I’ve always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else’s hair. So I believe in that value of smaller government. Give politicians power and all of a sudden they’ll misuse it [...]
Ronald Reagan has and always will represent the face of the Republican masses. The messianic figure is the epitome of the conservative ideal; his presidency ushering in an era of swift tax cuts, strong foreign policy initiatives, and American dominance that has nothing short of cemented his name to iconic Republican prestige. Similar to Bill [...]
