"As I see it, if DST [Daylight Savings Time] is going to keep us forever disoriented, why adjust our clocks forward and backward by only one hour?
Why not move them forward to 2030 so I can begin collecting Social Security – or backward to 1984, when I had a 29-inch waist and was still able to date really good-looking ladies?"

"When you examine the advantage which one class obtains over another you find that the basis of it is political power. It is impossible for one person to exploit another, for one class to exploit another, without the aid of law and the force to back up the law. Examine any monopoly and you will find it resting on the State. So that the economic and social injustices we complain of are not due to economic inequalities, but to the political means that bring about these inequalities.
If peace is to be brought into the social order it is not by accentuating a class struggle, but by restraining the basic cause of it; that is, the political power. To bring about a condition of equal rights, which is a condition of justice, the hands of the politician must be so tied that he cannot extend his activities beyond the simple duty of protecting life and property, his only competence."
Frank Chodorov
"We don’t need a constitution to recognize all humans have an innate and pre-existing right to self-defense. To make that right effective (especially for weaker members of society) tools must be employed. Guns are simply those tools, inanimate objects that cannot be imbued with innate qualities of good or evil. The right to own guns flows naturally from self-ownership of our bodies."
Jeff Deist
"Whether teachers should be armed or not, either answer made within the monopoly system simply maintains and possibly intensifies the problems inherent within that system. Whether or not teachers should be armed can only be answered properly if incentives are aligned properly, and that cannot happen until the system of law enforcement is opened to competition. It also cannot happen until tax-funded school districts are ended, because they too prevent the consumers of education from buying into schools that are safe for their children."
Michael Rozeff
"I've said it before, and it bears repeating: communism = socialism = fascism = democracy. The labels are important to the global elite only insofar as they deceive the masses.We cannot escape this creeping American communism until our intellect overpowers spiritual and political deception. Eventually we get the great revelation that politics and organized religion are more alike than they are different. This is the master key and the essential ingredient. This is the key to understanding."
Bob Livingston
"People have a misconception about anarchists. That they’re these violent people, running around in black capes with little round bombs. This is nonsense. Of course there are violent anarchists. There are violent dentists. There are violent Christians. Violence, however, has nothing to do with anarchism. Anarchism is simply a belief that a ruler isn’t necessary, that society organizes itself, that individuals own themselves, and the State is actually counterproductive.
It’s always been a battle between the individual and the collective. I’m on the side of the individual."
Doug Casey
"In Jefferson's day the tyranny was centered in the British Crown. In our day the tyranny is centered in Washington, DC, in New York, Geneva, and Brussels. If we are to restore liberty, free enterprise, and free trade, we must begin by understanding the power that genuine economic globalism and an old-fashioned devotion to political independence will have in uniting us against the forces of despotism. We can be both trade globalists and political localists. Indeed, this is precisely what the best of the American tradition holds out as an ideal."
Lew Rockwell
"To assign 'mental illness' as the 'cause' of criminality, whether the crime in question is theft, arson, assault, or murder, is to divest the act of all moral value, positive and negative. In short, if we’re going to insist that a person was 'caused' by his 'mental illness' to, for example, go on a shooting spree at a school, then it is no longer possible for us to condemn that person and his acts as immoral, much less as evil."
Jack Kerwick
"Blame whomever you wish for our troubles from your parents to the Founding Lawyers that wrested the freedom the Anti-Federalists offer and turned it into the witches brew of a commie clusterfuck you live in today."
Bill Buppert
"If Texas really wants to protect second amendment rights, and that of the fourth, the sixth, and the rest of them, then it’s about time to give up on this failed American experiment. The U.S. had a good run, but in the end, it wanted to discard its roots and become just like the other nations and unions of the world, where what little rights its citizens have are at indulgence of government rather than government deriving its powers at the begrudging consent of the people."
Ryan Thorson
"The student-stooges don’t direct their outrage at Amerika’s hired hitmen — only at us serfs, exercising our God-given right to keep and bear. Like the Nazis, Communists and progressives of the last century, today’s Left distrusts anyone outside of elected or appointed office. They despise us ordinary individuals who don’t lie, steal or kill for the State and insist that government protect itself and them from us. But it’s we who must defend ourselves from politicians and bureaucrats with their endless wars, corruption and oppression."
Becky Akers
"Under our Constitution and laws, police officers have NO OBLIGATION to protect the American citizenry. But at the same time, our politicians, news media, and most public school administrators and police chiefs insist that the American citizenry NOT be allowed to protect itself. If this isn’t madness, there is no such thing."
Chuck Baldwin
"One of the first things Dub-Yuh did as president was to impose tariffs on steel imports. The U.S. steel industry has claimed to deserve 'infant industry' protection with tariffs and quotas for at least the past 160 years. Some people never grow up. Trump has followed suit with tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, which will increase the price of everything made of steel and aluminum (i.e., American-made cars), rendering vast portions of the U.S. economy less competitive in international competition. Thousands of American workers will lose their jobs as a result. It will also loot the pocketbooks of American purchasers of American-made goods that contain steel and aluminum, i.e., Trump’s working-class political base, with higher prices. Other countries will retaliate with high tariffs on American-made goods, causing even more unemployment among Trump voters in the export-related industries. Trump just shot himself in the foot with a bazooka."
Tom DiLorenzo
"The primary reason for a tariff is that it enables the exploitation of the domestic consumer by a process indistinguishable from sheer robbery."
