A) Person A is not entirely sane. He doesn’t think it is wrong to kill other people because he doesn’t believe that there are other people. He thinks he is in some sort of virtual reality world which he is trying to get out of. He thinks what appears to be a person isn’t, so it is permissible to kill that illusionary-person if that illusionary-person causes him any discomfort. So he kills many people, and becomes one of the greatest mass murderers in... Read more
This appears to be the John McCain answer to Obama’s “Yes We Can” Video (H/T to Matt of The Hopeful Populist; also Gerald Campbell) Ok, it’s not. Read more
After an impressive 24 quarters of economic growth, it only took newly anointed Speaker Pelosi and her liberal colleagues less than one year to hobble a previously growing economy. – Rep. Tom Feeney (U.S. Congressman, 24th District of Florida) Rather than offering my opinion, I’ll seek input from everyone. Fill in the blank. This statement is an example of ____________. Read more
Designed for two to six players (age 15 and up), VATICAN: The Board Game takes the cardinals from their origins (where they were born, educated and what languages they speak), through their success in office holding in their own country and in Rome. These and other career events may increase or decrease their chances of being viewed as “papabile,” i.e. papal material.The game moves into a higher gear when the sitting pope dies. The College of Cardinals is thrown into... Read more
Via Darwin Catholic, I see that a couple of Australian professors have, after sober reflection, concluded that stopping climate change requires the abandonment of liberal democracy in favor of authoritarian dictatorship: China has become, or is just about to become, the world’s greatest emitter of greenhouse emissions. Its economic growth suggests that it may soon emit as much as the rest of the world put together. Its environment is in a deplorable state, with heavily polluted rivers and drinking water,...

Instead of gushing emotion, Derrick elaborated in great detail the respective positions of Obama and Clinton on health care, setting forth why he favored Obama’s plan over Clinton’s. Now Derrick has posted his own video on YouTube to explain what the presidential... Read more
A few years back a group of libertarians fed up with what they saw as the ever encroaching power of government founded the Free State Project.
