In Part VIII of this series, I introduced what I believe to be the only hope to turn America around and prevent it from becoming another Marxist nation-state — the Liberty Education Solution. The essence of such a revolution would be to teach people that only voluntary compassion is moral. Compulsory [...]
To my way of thinking, there is only one solution that speaks to the very heart of how to resuscitate Western civilization without violating anyone’s rights. I refer to it as: The Liberty Education Solution Since the true cause of the disintegration of Western culture was a moral revolution, it seems [...]
I ended Part I of this article by pointing out that trees are reborn each spring, live to the fullest in the summer, enter the twilight of their lives in the fall … then, finally, they seemingly die. But, in truth, the trees merely hibernate. It’s more like recycling than death [...]
In Part VI of this article, I discussed the Muddle Through Solution with regard to the question: Is it too late for Western civilization to be saved from the onset of a dictatorship? The conclusion I arrived at is that muddling through is not really a solution at all, but, rather, [...]
For the Marxist, guilt is the handmaiden to envy. While the have nots march to the media’s envy drum, the haves are easy targets for guilt based manipulation. This, I believe, is what brings about the phenomenon of a George Soros, a Warren Buffet, or the modern-day Rockefeller clan. It is [...]
In Part III of this article, I ended by pointing out that if it were not for inflation, taxation, subsidies, plunder laws, and other forms of government intervention in our economic system, many large companies would simply cease to exist — or, at the very least, they would cease to be [...]
Because both the art of repression and the art of bribery require so much subtlety to keep the have nots in place, governments are constantly vacillating between the two. Left wing dictatorships, while controlling the masses through brute force, like to create the impression they are benevolent. However, the skimpy food [...]
Through the power of gradualism, the desires are rights mentality has become solidly entrenched in the American brain. As a result, the bribery approach has worked well for politicians, and they are not about to stop using it to their advantage. Long term, however, bribery does not work in a society [...]
When I was much younger, I thought of myself as the man in Neil Diamond’s song “Crunchy Granola Suite”: “And like a man with a tiger outside his gate, he not only couldn’t relax but he couldn’t relate.” Happily, my tiger doesn’t come around nearly as much anymore. I’m still pretty [...]
Notwithstanding the lies that Congress, both presidential candidates, and the president himself are telling you, the bailout scams will not help create jobs. On the contrary, they will further stifle the economy-boosting efforts of America’s true heroes — entrepreneurs and small businesspeople. Now that it’s clear that the so-called bailouts won’t [...]
Is there anything that can be done about all those “greedy” Wall Street guys, speculators, and CEOs who make off with millions in golden parachutes? After all, everyone from Chris Dodd to John McBama … from Bill O’Reilly to “conservative” icon Ben Stein … says they are among the major culprits [...]
Back in the late seventies and early eighties, they called people like me doom-and-gloom prophets. So, how does it feel for me to see my predications coming true? Lousy. As I’ve always told my children, “I don’t want to have to say ‘I told you so.’ I want to help you.” [...]
Today, it’s nothing but a bad dream, but, many years ago, before modern medicine had come up with more humane procedures for dealing with hemorrhoids, I suffered through a period of extreme discomfort in the sensitive posterior of my anatomy. Because I had vivid memories of my father howling in agony [...]
Now that the Demopublicans and their media friends have, through the magic of doublespeak, transformed the massive and fraudulent bailout bill into a heroic “economic rescue plan,” most Americans can refocus their couch-potato efforts back on reality TV shows, football, and electronic gadgets. After all, the worst of the financial crisis [...]
Someone asked me yesterday why I believe in capital punishment. I immediately gave them four good reasons: Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, and Chris Dodd. But, in all fairness to these fine people who have devoted their lives to “public service” — even more so than community organizers — there [...]
