5. The Demoblican Party: Stop Feeding The Two-Headed Beast September 24, 2009 A little more than a year ago, I became a member of the Libertarian Party. I had been a life long Republican. In college, after doing research, I was so disgusted with the Democratic Party's hypocrisy regarding the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Laotians and their suffering under Communism that I could never see myself voting for a Democrat. I believed that they did not sufficiently love freedom to support them. They were too willing to compromise with Communism. And so, not once in my voting life did I vote for a Democrat. I considered myself a conservative, though I never believed in censo... (read more) Author: David Singhiser

10. Linux, Libertarianism and America June 14, 2009 Roughly ten years ago I obtained and installed my first copy of Red Hat Fedora Linux. It was during that same time-frame that I officially became a Libertarian. Since then I have read many opinion pieces comparing Linux to both Libertarianism and Communism. In a way, I think it is both. First let’s consider the origins of Linux. Back in the early 1980’s a long-time Unix programmer named Richard Stallman left MIT and began the GNU project and later the Free Software Foundation. He and his team began compiling (pun intended) the various software components of an operating system. The impetu... (read more) Author: Joe Gillis

It is a much maligned philosophy only because the men who oppose it have one of two agenda's. 1) To Rule over their fellow men. 2) To avoid the consequences of their own poor choices, doing so by robbing their neighbors who were not so flippant in their duties. This article's intent is to Reintroduce you to that unknown Ideal: Capitalism. Why Unknown? Because a purely Capitalist societ... (read more) Author: Robert Petersen

[are] by far the most numerous in all countries and in all ages..." -- James Steuart, 1767 [*1] Every society is founded on a common principle.

16. Spiritual Healing July 30, 2008 Spirituality is the fundamental part of all of our religious and philosophical systems. It is the core of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and all other religions. It is also at the core of every thought system that we as humans have ever created: modern physics, communism, atheism, humanitarianism, and all the others too! This is because we, as humans, all have the same basic needs and wants. Like it or not, we all wear trousers or skirts, and eat a Spirituality can be seen as being distinct from religion.

19. Protesters April 14, 2008 A sharp closing of the door left the two men together yet alone, strangers, introduced merely seconds before. The older, taller of the two seemed to scrutinise the stockier new arrival for a few moments, his penetrating gaze noting the military dress that remained less than a uniform alongside the almost apologetic manner he projected. They had fallen silent after their mutual acknowledgement, the elderly man’s gripped handshake accompanied by a stentorian, lengthened “Hello”, the younger man’s hesitant nod, plus a hand quickly withdrawn. During an extension of that same silence, shared at the... (read more) Author: Philip Spires

And so goes the idea that the association of these two is inaccurate, offensive, and even to some as counterproductive.">Before Hitler there was Mohammad. Mohammad mastered the language, the excessive nonsense of Fascist ideology by posing fascist ideals in the dress of a religion. Fascism’s labels have changed – Islam, Nazism, Communism, Francoism, Peronism, and assorted varieties have existed, but irregardless of the label, the intent of Fascism has always been the same – the destruction of the modern world and the imposition of an elite managed utopia. Fa... (read more) Author: C. Read

22. The Global Warming Cult - back to paganism and onwards to higher taxes of course April 09, 2008 The Europeans in their desire to be relevant on the world stage, have erected some immoral and vicious philosophies. Fascism, Communism, Socialism and post modern nonsense and dialecticism exemplified by the Useless Nations, as well as other cults of utopian fantasy are obvious examples. Like its cousin the current Eco-fascist Global Warming cult is premised on non-scientific data; a belief in an all knowing kind technocratic elite that will lead the group; a belief in a new world order; a hatred of modernity; a hatred of capitalism; a hatred of US inspired liberalism and a disdain for work, e...
