Libertarian
culture
Gradually we're building up our
LIBERTARIAN CULTURE. We've got books and books galore on politics, economics,
history, and theory. We've got novelists like Garet Garrett and Rose Wilder
Lane. We have movies like Atlas Shrugged 1-3 and Copperhead--even musicians
like Jordan Page, Golden State, and Aimee Allen. Now let's share these gems with others and
create a demand for the free market to supply more #libertarian culture. –2/18
Tribute
to a fallen citizen-soldier
While doing on-location research on the
Mariposa Indian War, I found the grave site of 2LT Skeane S. Skeenes, who was
one of the first soldiers killed in the war.
Regardless of one's opinions on the Indian Wars, appreciate the fact
that Skeenes was a volunteer, a citizen soldier, doing what he honestly
believed was good and right. Appreciate the fact that he died in service and
never saw his mother again. Rest in peace LT. –2/18

Ukraine
verging on civil war
Looks like Ukraine's on the verge of
civil war. What we see here is over 2 decades worth of PISSED OFF. When the
USSR dissolved, most former SSRs transitioned to a market economy and de-fanged
central government very quickly. This wasn't the case in Ukraine, where standards
of living haven't gone up as high as other eastern European countries, and
Ukraine until now has effectively remained a Russian satellite. –2/19
Howard
Stern
The liberty movement NEEDS to reach out
to Howard Stern ASAP. His admission to having voted for Democrats and
Republicans both, and his refusal to back Democrats again because of
"gangsterism" tell me that he's politically homeless and on the right
wavelength to connect with our libertarian worldview. –2/21
Chapo
Guzman arrested
Chapo Guzman, the world's # 1 drug lord,
was arrested a few days ago in Mexico. While it's a symbolic victory, it won't
end the civil war. In Colombia they busted the 4 big cartels, resulting in
cocaine being continued by 300 independent producers. Today in Mexico, the
Sinaloa Cartel's militias are still at war with the Zetas paramilitary army. –2/25
