Democrats push for $10K fine for gun owners without liability insurance

"A group of congressional Democrats has signed on to new legislation that would mandate liability insurance for all gun owners in the United States — and fine those who refuse to purchase it as much as $10,000. The Daily Caller reports that New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s Firearm Risk Protection Act says that all gun buyers — before they buy — purchase and show proof of 'a qualified liability insurance policy,' and that those caught owning a weapon without the insurance are subject to harsh fines."

The Colorado Shooter Was on Psycho Drugs

"The news is out. The killer, James Holmes, who dressed up as The Joker and shot up a movie theater full of people in Colorado, had been taking Zoloft, the same dangerous psychotropic drug that the Columbine killer, Eric Harris, had been taking. According to the information released by the judge in the case, Homes had also been taking a drug called Clonazepam. How long do we have to wait until there is a thorough investigation into the dangers these drugs pose to society?" Continue reading

David Conrad Precinct Chair Tulsa County Endorses Amanda Teegarden

My name is David Conrad, chairman of Precinct 402 in Tulsa County. Amanda Teegarden made an important distinction to me years ago when she elucidated the importance of the policies of principled government rather than the weather vane of politicking. Amanda's actions prove her to be honest, rational, vigilant, reliable and strong. That is what makes a good leader. That is why she will be our next State GOP Chair. Amanda is a champion of liberty and sound policy in Oklahoma and deserves my endorsement. more info on Amanda Teegarden for OKGOP state chair

Angela Daniel Former District Committeewoman Pawnee County Endorses Amanda Teegarden

My name is Angela Daniel and I am the former district committeewoman, state committeewoman, vice chair and chair of Pawnee county, in that order. I am now in Creek county. Amanda was one of the first people I met when I became active in politics. She is one of the most informed people regarding the government's infringements on our liberties I have ever met. She has tirelessly and consistently lobbied our state legislature in defense of our freedoms, and has been instrumental in preventing many horrible pieces of legislation. I think Amanda has been more of an influence in state government than any other citizen in the state who does not hold a government office. She has always operated from the purest of motives, and I am honored to have the opportunity to vote for her for our next state chair. She has my full support. more info on Amanda Teegarden for OKGOP state chair

New Poll Finds 86 Percent Of Americans Don’t Want To Have A Country Anymore [2006]

"Among the 86 percent of poll respondents who were in favor of discontinuing the nation, the most frequently cited reasons were a lack of significant results from the current democratic process (36 percent), dissatisfaction with customer service (28 percent), and exhaustion (22 percent). Of those who were against maintaining an American nation, 77 percent said they believe that having a country is 'counter to the best interests of Americans.'

You Are an Anarchist. The Question Is How Often?

"Everyone, at least sometimes, is an anarchist. Consider Cambodia in the late 1970s. The Khmer Rouge government intentionally killed more than two million of its own citizens. That’s an average of 8 percent of the population killed each year while government simultaneously inflicted countless other horrors. Do you think the Cambodian people, faced with that government, would have been better off with no government at all? Congratulations. You are, sometimes, an anarchist. The real issue is found in an area economists call 'comparative institutions.' That is, in a specific time and place, how well would anarchy work compared to an actual obtainable state?"

The State: Crown Jewel of Human Social Organization

"Since the earliest stage of human history (say, the time of Cain and Abel), human beings have been homicidal maniacs. Yet, for untold ages, something was missing, something with the capacity to raise their murderous mania to truly magnificent heights. Only very late in human history—perhaps 10,000 years ago or thereabouts—did the long-awaited breakthrough take place: men finally devised the state. By employing its powers of organization, command, violence, and plunder, rulers could finally bask in the glories of heretofore undreamed-of atrocities." Continue reading

Ignorance is Strength: Kim Jong Un Edition

"For one state to respond to another state’s military aggression by killing, or threatening to kill, its civilian population is monstrous. And if it’s monstrous, it’s monstrous when anyone does it. It would also be monstrous if some purely hypothetical country, the only country in the world with atomic weapons, used them to kill several hundred thousand civilians in two Japanese cities. It would be monstrous if some purely hypothetical country with hundreds of long-range bombers had had, as its official military policy, making first use of nuclear weapons and hitting every major population center in the USSR in retaliation for a conventional incursion into Western Europe."

Media Infantilism, Ours And Theirs

"Isn't it funny how sometimes when the government media in an authoritarian society makes a claim -- such as Syrian state press claims that the armed insurgents are responsible for this or that atrocity, or Bin Laden's claims that he was irritated at the US for stationing troops in Saudi Arabia and favoring Israel -- it is when serving US foreign policy goals written off as the hysterical lying propaganda of a ruthless dictator or madman? However when the US media is echoing the regime in beating the war drums, as on North Korea, every claim by the state controlled media in this or that foreign authoritarian state is to be taken as the Gospel truth."
