Thoughts on the Humanities and Liberalism

I want to express another thought which underlies much of my political and philosophical views. The decline of our many elements of our nation (an to some extent the world) are directly related to the growth of the religious cult of psychology and attitude of liberalism. Psychology, a religion, is condoned and supported by government…

Rewarding Down-Statistics

There is a simple datum that I have grown to believe and have observed: “You reward a down-statistic – and you get a down-statistic”. This is so basic that nearly all humans alive have a basic understanding of this rule. We don’t reward a dog for messing up the floor – we don’t praise junior…

Federal Governmental Control Over our Lives

As Lazarus Long (a 2000 year old man) said: Political tags–such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and. so forth–are never basic criteria.

Federal Budget 101

This was sent to me by a friend – a good point: The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year in the trillions of dollars. Few people know how much money that is so we created a breakdown of federal spending in simple terms. Let’s put the 2011 federal budget into perspective: Here is…

Paul Harvey was a National Treasure

In 1964, the late radio commentator Paul Harvey broadcast the following commentary. It bears repeating today. America has become a cannibal society, devouring its best. The competent, numerically outnumbered by the incompetents, are being corralled, restrained, confined and milked like barnyard cattle. The giants who created our skyscraper civilization are now ordered to obey Lilliputian…
