Tentherism in a Nutshell
The minute you tell someone that you are a tenther, they assume that you are a conservative, because the Tenth Amendment has a lot to do with state’s rights. This much is true – tenthers are conservatives. But a different kind of conservative. It is the kind of conservative that may believe in laws that [...]
Agriculture Cuts to Usher in the Apocalypse
Harold Camping is “flabbergasted” that the world did not end on May 21st as he had predicted. I think it’s because he didn’t account for the devastation that will be wrought by Republican budget cuts for fiscal 2012, which doesn’t begin until October 1st. Therefore, Camping’s new predication that the world will end on October [...]

Unconstitutional in so Many Ways
Most people who criticize the (Federal) healthcare overhaul do so with the main focus (understandably) being on the most in-your-face aspect of the bill.. namely, the personal mandate. This is likely owing to the blatantly fascistic nature of requiring someone to purchase a private product from another person. It could also be because of the [...]

Nullification on the Left Coast, and Everywhere
If anything can get the humane left and thoughtful right on the same page, it’s opposition to the central state in Washington, the wars, the lies, the nationalist police forces, the corporatist welfare schemes, and everything else. In particular, the idea that the federal government is not supreme, that the several states have some say [...]
An opportunity to learn about Nullification
The “peace president” bombs. The TSA gropes and scans. Feds prohibit hemp farming. And federal agents snoop in the name of patriotism, leaving citizens feeling helpless and bullied. How can Americans stop an overreaching federal government that puts lobbyists and special interests ahead of the people? Thomas Jefferson and James Madison gave us the answer. [...]
A President That Ignores the Law Is a Dictator
Our Founding Fathers carefully drafted the Constitution and defined that the power to declare war properly falls in the hands of Congress. This was no accident. The creators of this country understood that such a power cannot and should not rest on the shoulders of one single man. They understood that the power to wage [...]

The Facts Are Clear…
Big government breeds big failure. Fact; education scores are lowest where government has the most control and parents expect government to teach their children Fact; the economy will never recover because the reality is we are bankrupt. If the government was a private company they would be forced to close by, well, government regulators. Fact; [...]

Goodwin Liu: More of the Same
There has been much attention recently on the Republican decision to block President Obama’s nomination of law professor Goodwin Liu for the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Attention is focused on his allegedly out-of-the-mainstream legal views. But to this ex-law professor, Liu doesn’t look that unusual. He looks like just another [...]
Obama to Congress: It’s Constitutional to Ignore You
You’re going to be shocked to hear this, I know, but the president says he doesn’t need congressional authorization for the mission in Libya, since it is “limited.” Of course, he is wrong, as he is on everything. See my piece “The Phony Case for Presidential War Powers.” Watch for Mark Levin, my erstwhile sparring partner, to [...]

Nullification is our best chance
by Nick Hankoff Certainly, no opportunity to elect a principled leader to a federal position of power ought to be ignored but I do believe that ultimately it’s more an act of symbolism than a substantial shift that is essential for advancing the liberty message and movement. Don’t forget that all politics is local. Nullification [...]

Michigan State Policymakers Push to Keep Federal Gas Taxes
Last week I discussed the Obama administration’s decision to redistribute federal high-speed rail money rejected by Florida Gov. Rick Scott. I noted that “Florida taxpayers were spared their state’s share of maintaining the line, but they’re still going to be forced to help foot the bill for passenger-rail projects in other states.” My underlying point [...]
