    The Real Lincoln on Slavery, Race, and The American System

    Okay, now this myth has got to stop. Slaves were not well off being slaves compared to Irish in the North. As a historian myself I can appreciate what Travlyr is trying to do. The fact remains Lincoln's legacy is a wartime president who did some unthinkable acts against people he considered...

    What were the founder's views on Corporations

    Not a real Jefferson quote. Deflation and inflation when talking about currency did not exist in Jefferson's time, only prices of consumer goods were known to be effected by inflation or deflation.

    What were the founder's views on Corporations

    Problem with his first video is it skips 100 years of history. The antebellum period was filled with government created and protected monopolies (see state chartered banks). It is also filled with government protected industries, such as protecting textile mills from liability if they dam up a...

    NRA says 'to hell with the Constitution'

    Unions are in the business of taking your money. If they actually fought and won for your rights then they'd be out of a job. They give only enough to maintain relevancy and to get more of your money...nothing more nothing less.

    Marine pioneering effort to move women into combat

    There are no front lines anymore. Women are MPs and they see as much fighting as infantry soldiers do. The war is all around them, which is why soldier come home all screwed up. There is no "safe" place to fall back to get some RR because there are no front lines.

    NYT Op-Ed: The REAL Thomas Jefferson - Monster of Monticello

    "The Monster of Monticello?"...really? Absolutely disgusting how this professor hides behind his profession as a historian and knowingly uses modern day moral judgments upon a man of the past. As a historian he should know better. Jefferson was no more racist than the majority of his...

    Economics professor vs Me: Round 1

    How can you justify the notion of a recovery when consumption shrank and goods were rationed during the wartime command economy? I would see Robert Higg's book Depression, War, and Cold War for the answers you are looking for

    This is American media reporting...the case really comes down to chin hairs....

    Regardless of what he is accused of doing, he is still in the military and the military doesn't allow beards.

    Maine Republicans blast opponent for World of Warcraft play

    Its okay to wind down from a long days work with a bottle of booze but do not play video games that is childish Never mind the fact that playing games have been proven to cause the same type of relaxation feeling you get from drowning your sorrows in a bottle.

    Fractional reserve banking is fraud, period.

    Promise to pay and guarantee to pay are not the same. Without fractional reserve banking what you would have is a warehouse without any means to provide credit. I'm sorry if Rothbard couldn't convince White and Selgin about the "fraud" of fractional reserve banking I don't think this post...

    Let's see how far this tax protestor/ evader goes with arguments

    Cracking the Code? Isn't that the same type of theory that got Irwin Schiff, Peter's dad, in jail for filing a $0.00 tax return?
