Are You a Patriot or a Nationalist?
Here’s an article by Joe Sobran on what the difference is.
Take Classes from the Mises Academy
They have an exciting line-up of classes available for next semester…check it out! I have my eye on the Fed one by Bob Murphy and David Gordon’s class on logic. And they’ve reduced the cost by 40%! I hope to see you in one of these classes soon.
Christians and Romans 13
Here is an article on the subject of submission to the state, etc…that comes from a little different perspective. I enjoyed reading it, I hope you do too.
Biblical Anarchism?
I know this seems like I’m terribly biased towards Christians being anarchists, as the only articles I post are from that side of it. I did read a good article from the other perspective (anti-anarchy for Christians) but I didn’t bookmark it (nearly all my troubles in life, or at least on my computer, are caused by not bookmarking important things) so I’m not sure where it is. When I find it, I will post it. But in the meantime, here is one from LewRockwell.com.
Register for Online Class in Economics
Starting in January, 2011 I will be teaching an online course in economics. This will deal primarily with economic theory as I believe this will give people a more solid foundation in analyzing economic policies of our day and policies throughout history. If you know a law of economics you will know how this works in the real world and you can point to examples of the law’s effects, be it in the Great Depression, the hyperinflation of Germany or the latest government stimulus project. There is no necessary equipment for this class, besides a computer with internet and speakers of…
The War of Terror
oops…I mean, of course, the War on Terror. Silly me, to think that a war waged against terror could be terror itself. This politically incorrect man seems to think so, here at LewRockwell.com. Enough with the sarcasm. The article I linked to above goes very well with my book which will be coming out early next year. It was going to be a short story anthology and now I’m not quite sure. I’m beginning to hope that it might actually turn out to be a novel. Novels are so much more impressive, don’t you know? I can call myself an…
An Economy Without Borders
I have been thinking about the issue of outsourcing, foreign labor, etc…and I don’t understand what the big deal is. Borders between countries are political, purely political and nothing more. Borders are irrelevant to our economy. The world is one huge “latticework” as Rothbard said, and it doesn’t matter if one place is called “China” and another “America.” It is all about division of labor and allocating our scarce resources, time, and labor to the most valued ends. I’m going to employ some reductio ad absurdum now… Here is what we often here people say: By buying things from other…
Jefferson’s Judicial Blunders
Here’s an article a friend sent me on Jefferson, as I seemed to be on a “Jefferson kick.” I haven’t read it all yet so I can’t state my opinion, but you should check it out.
A Little Story
Once upon a time there was a family traveling in a van. For some unknown reason the parents wanted the back windows of the van open to keep warm or perhaps keep cool something that was in the trunk. So they told the girls in the back seat to open the windows. And one little girl said, “what??!! Did we run out of air?” And the rest of them said nothing in reply for what could they say?
On Thomas Jefferson
Right now I’m fascinated with the ideas and life of Jefferson, partly inspired by what I think was a most accurate portrayal of him in the HBO series “John Adams.” Since everything on Wikipedia can be infallibly trusted (*sarcasm*) here is their write-up on Jefferson. Since we’ve been indoctrinated with the politically correct story, here is the real account of Jefferson and his beliefs by Albert Jay Nock. I suspect he took great pleasure in discovering all the dirty secrets about all the people we have always admired. I just hope he doesn’t do that to Jefferson. Since the only…
