Is There a Movement to Reclaim Liberty in Britain?

Lots of good sound bites from English citizens lamenting the loss of their fundamental rights over the past 20 years or so in this year old video. This looks like the British version of the American Tea Parties. Mostly this is about the Brits being able to own guns and go on their fox hunts [...]

Britain Follows Germany in Departing from Keynesian Economics – U.S. Looks Socialist in Comparison

New York Times writer Paul Krugman is probably beside himself with grief as countries around the world are finally starting to get the message that spending your way to riches is simply not working. Kenseyian economics is crap. To the average person it makes no sense. But governments love to spend and they embraced the [...]

$20 Billion Extracted From BP Was Not Constitutional – Are We Not a Nation of Laws Anymore?

Our government essentially confiscated $20 billion from BP for compensation to those that have been harmed by the oil leak in the Gulf. I tried to understand that and really just went along with it because to speak out against it made you some sort of insensitive jerk to those in the Gulf whose livelihood [...]

Judge Rules Against Obama’s Gulf Drilling Moratorium

Guess Obama is going to have to find another way to destroy the oil drilling industry. FoxNews reports that a federal judge blocked Obama’s efforts to stop drilling in the Gulf for 6 months. The judge single-handily saved tens of thousands of jobs. This is good news for the country and the Gulf states. Score [...]

This is Why My Children Are Homeschooled – Public School Education is a Joke

My children are homeschooled. By all measurable accounts they score as well or better than most government educated kids. I would never send my kids to government schools. The U.S. education system is a failure. I would prefer my kids learn from like minded, value oriented homeschool tutorial teachers than from a failed system. Why? [...]

A Plea for Sanity From an Off Shore Oil Driller to Our Imperial Federal Government

I found this excellent article by Milton Eastabrook, a worker in the off-shore drilling industry. Clearly the man is a patriot. He loves his family, his job and his country. What he writes below should be an important read for all Americans but in particular those in Washington that wants to shut down this industry. [...]

Mainstream Media Takes Dig at Hayward for Taking Break, But Not Obama

The Associated Press wants you to know that Tony Hayward has taken a break from overseeing BP’s effort at stopping the well leak by going back to England to attend a yachting race. Apparently one of his boats is competing. Headline on Yahoo proclaims “As oil spews in Gulf, BP chief at UK yacht race”.
Judging [...]

Astounding Amount of Oil Remains in BP Drill Site Reservoir

The Christian Science Monitor reported via the AP yesterday:
BP CEO Tony Hayward says the reservoir that feeds the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico probably still holds about 2 billion gallons of oil.
Appearing before a House subcommittee, Hayward estimated that the reservoir tapped by the out-of-control well holds at least 50 million barrels of [...]

Stop Ragging BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg for Saying ‘Small People’

Man people. Lay off this man. Using what is probably his third or fourth language to describe his meeting with the Obama administration, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told reporters he cares about the “small people” living along the Gulf coast. He clearly meant “the folks”. He was not trying to be arrogant. When you asshats [...]

Tomorrow The U.S. Congress Will Embarass the Nation As it Verbally Executes BP CEO

Tomorrow begins the greatest display of political theater we will have ever seen as a nation. Congressmen are set to publicly humiliate and verbally execute BP CEO Tony Hayward. Never mind that this could and should be a civil and forceful questioning to better understand what went wrong and how BP plans on fixing the [...]
