Health Care Summit

Posted by Patrick Semmens in February 26th 2010  

I could only bear to watch a few minutes of the awful posturing that took place today at the White House.
I can’t take credit for this (someone at my office made the observation), but I think this sums it the meaningless blather well: The summit at the White House today was model congress for Congress.

Explaining The Madness of the Health Care Bill

Posted by Patrick Semmens in December 26th 2009  

I think that Peter Schiff gets it right:
While ramming their new legislation through Congress, the Democrats have taken great pains to point out that they do not intend to “socialize medicine.” But make no mistake, that’s where we’re headed. Even if some naïve centrists believe that their efforts have denied the Left a total victory, [...]

Cuccinelli and Drunk Driving Laws

Posted by Patrick Semmens in October 31st 2009  

Drunk driving laws don’t often come up as a campaign issue, but when they do my reaction isn’t always what the person who brings them up in a campaign usually intends. DUI law in our country is chock full of gross violations of Constitutional rights, so I find myself impulsively sympathetic to the candidate accused [...]

Must Read: The Anarchist’s Playbook

Posted by Patrick Semmens in October 27th 2009  

In the most recent issue of Young American Revolution, W. James Antle III writes about the politics of Murray Rothbard.
Rothbard, an anarcho-capitalist, built the philosophical core of the modern libertarian movement. But instead of focusing on his philosophy, the article focuses on Rothbard’s long-standing search for a practical political movement that would build the foundation [...]

Wall Street Journal on Rand Paul

Posted by Patrick Semmens in October 21st 2009  

National media outlets are starting to take note of the fact that Rand Paul has a legitimate chance of becoming the next Senator from Kentucky. This from the Journal’s subscription only Political Diary:
Libertarianism Is the Family Business

Who says you can’t learn something from your parents? Ask Rand Paul, son of last year’s presidential [...]

Links: Things I’ve Been Reading

Posted by Patrick Semmens in October 18th 2009  

Since I’ve been lax on the updates, here’s a list of things I’ve been reading:

Smoking ban study full of lies. Shocking!
Dropping the facade: Bill would explicitly use Federal Reserve to fund government spending.
Say no to a texting ban. It would give police another pre-text to pull anyone over, anytime.
Democrat party warmongers, a history.
De-criminalize it! Attempting to [...]

TSA Mission Creep

Posted by Patrick Semmens in August 28th 2009  

Because the TSA does such a good job arresting 5-year old “terrorists,” mistaking iPod Chargers for bombs and strip-searching soldiers returning to the U.S. with their dead comrades, Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-IL) wants TSA screeners (pardon me that’s “officers”) to take on a new task: checking the size of passengers’ carry-on luggage.
Sometimes the idiocy of [...]

Government Run Health Care: DMV Service at Pentagon Prices

Posted by Patrick Semmens in July 29th 2009  

Here’s a thought: Stop talking about the “public option” because we all know there is no such thing.
People like the public. It includes our neighbors, shop owners, workers, fellow consumers and all the other citizens we voluntarily interact with everyday. Those people will have no say over our health care.
Instead, government bureaucrats will be making [...]
