While conservatives believe the principles of limited government and individual liberty are worth fighting for, it’s tempting to get tangled up in the convoluted arguments of liberals (which, for us college students, includes the additional challenge of authoritarian professors). All too often conservatives get lost in the details of a long-winded liberal sermon (or maybe […]

I’ve decided that it might be nice to start every week with a worthwhile quote. So, to begin:
“The existential root of Libertarianism is the experience of being very bad at taking orders from morons.”
—Leopold Leider.

Yo,
For those of you checking this site and who are hearing stuff from myself and my colleagues about getting involved and working on campus might hopefully have you thinking of next semester and what you can do to help change your campus. If you are interested in starting a group on campus, we can help […]

Hello all,
Just thought I might mention a few words to you to ponder over summer break. Life on campus can be an especially difficult time to stay informed on the issues. Papers, midterms, class, etc., can bog you down with hours upon endless hours of work and stress. The sad result and I’ve seen it […]

Since this blog is aimed at helping campus grassroots activists, it seems wise to discuss a topic that many of you will face all too often in political life: disappointment. It’s one of the many on-the-job hazards of activism (in addition to paper cuts, carpel tunnel, and alcohol poisoning).
The beauty of American democracy is […]

What are we to do when Banks that loaned out customer’s money go belly up and people start running on banks, causing them to close? It’s really quite a shame that banks, acting illegally, loaned out people’s money and then got caught doing so. There must be some way that the Federal Government can […]

I thought I might hold up for a moment before examining the Austrian School of Economics and follow up on Keynes a bit. Remember from the last post that he was a major proponent of Macro-Economic planning. This basically involves control of the economy through various forms such as government subsidies, government purchase of goods, […]

The always brilliant Mike Adams has a great article on how he would tackle a lot of the problems in higher education over at Townhall.com.
Of course, I’ve never really imagined being in charge of the zoo because, you see, I am an endangered species. I am a Christian, a Caucasian, a Conservative, and a Capitalist. […]

Victor Davis Hanson has a great column today in which he argues that the true moral high ground with respect to increasing cost of fuel is to allow domestic drilling.
…a paradox is that most environmentalists think of themselves as egalitarians. So, instead of objecting to the view of a derrick from the California hills above […]

I was reading a bit of Henry Hazlett’s book, “Economics in One Lesson” (which I highly recommend along with my own personal favorite “Economics for Real People” by Callahan), and an example of his made me think of big government spending in a whole new way. He talks about what happens when someone breaks a […]
