Quote of the Day
Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.
Oliver Goldsmith

Tweet of the Day

Some days you wonder if it's worth tweeting. I'm trying to explain that in order to invest in the US, foreigners need dollars, which they can get by selling us stuff. I found my relevant tweet being favorited/liked by a pro-Trump group. Okay, if I say your candidate is economically illiterate, that's not a good thing; if I'm comparing him to a socialist, that's not a good thing. I suspect they are responding to the message investment in the US is a good thing, but you can also make investment in the US more attractive with more globally competitive tax and regulatory reform....

 It just goes to show how many morons will line up to see a celebrity clown.

The right to self-defense supersedes tyranny of any majority.

(Pro-Life Libertarian). All laws use violence to secure their enforcement. The question then is; what justifies the use of force? Protecting life, liberty, and property are the only proper roles of government. Stopping abortion is a proper use of government and force. It's using the government to defend life.
The police did use force to subdue the shooter in Colorado Springs, to stop further violence against life and property. As per my earlier tweet, if and when government fails in its primary objective, to secure the natural rights of citizens, it loses its legitimacy. This includes the rights of the preborn.
