Politicians wanted the land. An elderly homeless man watched in tears as the home he'd built in the woods six years before was torn down by police. Sam's eyes filled up as he silently watched the sturdy, wooden structure bulldozed along with his carefully tended garden trimmed with a white picket fence. Until last month, Sam lived in a woodland ... MORE

Elderly Man Watches New Jersey Cops Tear Down His Home
Politicians wanted the land. An elderly homeless man watched in tears as the home he'd built in the woods six years before was torn down by police.

Until last month, Sam lived in a woodland ... MOREThe Free State Project: A Libertarian Testing Ground

(If you think of it, you will see that there is a redundancy in this formula, for a government of limited ... MORERaising Up Compliant Children in the American Police State
by John W. Whitehead. How do you persuade a nation to march in lock step with a police state? You start by convincing them that they’re in danger, and only the government can protect them.

Matt Kibbe: 'You Can't Have Freedom for Free'
On Rush, Ayn Rand, and Not Compromising. In 1977, I bought my first Rush album. I was 13. The title of the disc was 2112, and the foldout jacket had a very cool and ominous red star on the cover. As soon as I got it home from the store, I carefully placed that vinyl record onto the felt-padded turntable of my parents’ old Motorola console ... MOREWilliam F. Jasper: Why More Bundy Standoffs Are Coming
The war on the west will continue.

MOREPolitical Correctness And The Slavery Of ObamaCare
by Ben S. Carson. When I was in high school in Detroit, there was a great deal of emphasis on clothing.

Jaana Woiceshyn: Envy Vs. Achievement
A battle of political philosophy. Envy is one of the most useless of feelings, both in our private and business lives. Yet many people experience it, at least from time to time.
