I guess Putin is going to be carving up the Turkey this Thanksgiving. All jokes aside, I'm more wondering what Turkey's motives for this were. I would have to agree with seapilot's summary on this, but I feel that part of Turkey's fear of losing regional influence might have to do with the...

I'm calling dibs on a second Waco.

"The Constitution is a living, breathing document" "The founders couldn't have foreseen the creation of X" "But... the Supreme Court ruled in X that Y" "You have to give some of your liberty in order to be safe" "What are you, some kind of antisemitic/racist/terrorist?" "Think of the...

I know that dictatorships generally get more money than any other kind of government system out there, but don't forget that countries have transitioned between different government systems over time, so that not all countries have 100% democratic or 100% authoritarian within the past century...

I choose "Something Else" because I'm a mix of three of the options listed. Anarcho-Capitalist because I believe that the government should not be in the economy. Minarchist bcause I believe in small government. And Constitutionalist because I believe that we should follow the Constitution in a...

The Truth Is Out There

I would personally love to make it, but alas, my computer class bars me from doing so. I would encourage others to join in and use this opprotunity oppose this war before it starts. It starts at 2pm EST today. https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/crns7bqaccuvuehb44vdsrsmp8o

I had a question about that too once. I contacted Andrew Horning (Libertarian Senatorial Candidate here in Indiana) whom I met earlier this year and asked him about it. Here's his reply that he gave me. "Yes, only legislators can write laws. Their meaning cannot be changed by courts, but their...
