Presidential Candidates and Liberty
by Jason Stotts As the caucuses (cauci?) and debates heat up, it is important to look through the political rhetoric and to remember to think in principles. To that end I want to suggest that people take a look at the ACLU’s “Campaign Report Card,” where they rank each of the Republican and Libertarian candidates [...]
Starbucks Doesn’t Get It

I was even more surprised by it after I read the message: September 2011 Dear Starbucks Friend and Fellow Citizen: I love our country. And I am a beneficiary of the promise of America. But [...]

House Votes to Repeal Obamacare
